Gameplay-wise, this is a mediocre auto-runner. It'd be a decent one if the controls were tighter and more responsive. The difficulty did ramp up as I'd progressed, but I pulled through and persevered.

Which brings me to just why I dared try to beat this game to begin with: I was drawn in by the premise. You control Eba and their younger sibling, the titular Egg, as Eba rolls Egg to safety so that Egg may hatch. I was charmed by the plot and wanted to witness Egg hatching, as no one online had recorded a full playthrough of the game by that point.

But the game never gave me the satisfaction.

When I beat the game, I got a playable credits sequence, and then was booted back to the title screen. This game straight-up doesn't have an ending - at least, not one that I know of! I wondered if it might be locked behind perfecting every stage, but I don't have the patience to do all that.

This game became unpurchasable with the Wii U eShop shutting down in March of 2023, and for this game it's probably for the best as that means it cannot lure anyone else in with its false promises.
