Platformer With 'Overwhelmingly Positive' Reviews is Getting a Spin-Off
Fans of the platforming genre get a fresh look at an unexpected successor to a hit title with 'overwhelmingly positive' reviews.
Developer Egobounds teamed up with publishers Alibi Games and IndieArk to release the latest trailer for Egging On, which will see players helping a lone egg to escape the chicken coop and make its way to freedom. Similar to games like Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy, Egging On challenges the player to use precise platforming with an oddly shaped protagonist to overcome obstacles and avoid falling to their doom. The perilous journey into the sky will involve wobbling, rolling, and jumping around angry roosters, revved-up chainsaws, and other dangers that will make the adventure a challenge in navigation, timing, and patience. Interactive elements, unexpected secrets, customizable shells, and unique atmospheres will help to keep the experience fresh as the lonely egg makes its escape. Players have until June 16 to check out the demo for Egging On as part of the 2025 Steam Next Fest.
Egging On Official Trailer
The release date trailer for Egging On gives players a sneak peek at some of the obstacles they will face, as well as a number of ways failure will be lying in wait. Players are not only required to use the oddly shaped egg to make precise movements, but some of the jumps require a bit of innovation and trust that will either produce satisfying success or shell-breaking defeat. Chickens, owls, and other fowls will stand between being trapped in the hen-house and the ultimate freedom, tasking players with a psychological challenge to match the pinpoint platforming. For fans of difficult yet satisfying games, Egging On looks to join the growing lineup of titles that are meant to be equally frustrating and fun.
Platformers have continued to experience a renaissance of sorts, with both AAA and indie games like Astro Bot and Pizza Tower helping to revive interest in the genre. Whether Egging On will achieve the same success as many of its predecessors remains to be seen, but interested players can check out the Steam Next Fest demo ahead of the game's launch on August 7.
