It’s officially springtime, so we’re all bracing ourselves for plenty of bunnies, chicks, chocolate, and… Eggies. Yep, Eggy Party is a game all about Eggies – hundreds of them. So many, in fact, that a whole Eggyverse has sprung up around them. If you’re in the market for a co-op game that combines craziness and cuteness in equal measure, grab your phone and get downloading. Here’s what’s in store…
First thing’s first: the Eggy Friends are just. So. Cute. These spherical, bouncing little buddies come in all manner of colors, themes, and outfits – including some limited edition releases for you to collect at the Egg Mall. The game launched in Southeast Asia last year, and has already hit 100 million monthly active users in China alone, so developers NetEase Games are expecting 2024 to be a big one for Eggy Party after the global launch in February.
The launch coincides with the Stellar Encounter event, which includes new stages and maps, a creator contest, exclusive starry outfits, and a whole heap of space-themed fun.
Co-op chaos
The main event in Eggy Party is the minigames, where you can team up with – or beat – your friends in fast-paced challenges across a world of maps and user-generated areas. One minute you could be baking cookies, the next you’re in outer space. The game is built with mobile in mind, and each game is carefully developed to be easy to learn and fun to play – no matter your age or ability.
You and your fellow Eggies will solve puzzles, embark on quests, and embrace chaos in a selection of mad minigames. From simple games like hide-and-seek to hilarious challenges like the rope race, which binds you and a friend together for the duration of an obstacle course, there’s always something new and egg-citing to try. Crazy Brawl is a no-holds-barred punch-out where anything goes, while Eggy Raid is a quirky FPS that somehow still manages to be adorable. And of course, there’s plenty of “last one standing” type games where you’ll be bouncing and pushing your way to the finish.
The Eggyverse
Aside from the chaotic minigames, there’s plenty of chilling out to be done, from customizing your base and socializing with friends, to exploring and interacting with the sights of New Eggy Island. You can take a break from all the jumping, diving, and running, and instead just hang out and chat.
The Island is packed with activities for you and your friends to enjoy including a giant ferris wheel, trampoline, floor piano, and football field. In the wider Eggyverse, you’ll find high-speed roller coaster rides, challenging puzzles, and an assortment of locations. Explore the thrills of a theme park or delve into an enchanted forest.
Seasonal events will introduce new Eggies into the mix. Players will get a fresh start when new seasons begin, giving everyone a chance to climb the ranks and win unique rewards. The current event is the Stellar Encounter season, which introduces a galaxy of new features to the game, nine new stages, and some very special Eggies.
Eggies are gained primarily through mystery boxes, adding an element of surprise to the game. Stellar Encounter adds three new characters – Dreamcatcher Softie, Seaweed Burglar, and Nebula Sheep – and new outfits – like the Starry, Solar, and Lunar Pajamas. Collect Star Candies to swap out for Star Coins, then exchange them for limited-time rewards. You’ll soon have a whole carton of Eggies.
Get creative
Head to the Eggy Workshop if you’d like to get hands-on and create your own levels. You’ll get to pick from a selection of different event types and have full creative control of the map editor. Environmental hazards and objects can be introduced wherever you like. Be brutal and challenge your pals to the hardest level you can think of, or build something beautiful for everyone to enjoy, it’s up to you.
Eggy Party regularly hosts creator competitions, so brush up on your level-building skills and submit your entry to see if you have what it takes. If you’re wanting a new challenge, drop into another user’s handmade levels and try your luck.
