Egg Mania: Eggstreme Madness (2002)
Egg Mania: Eggstreme Madness is a puzzle game developed by Konami and released for the Game Boy Advance in 2002. The player controls an Eggo builder who must sort and organize air-dropped puzzle pieces to assemble platforms that gradually form a tower above a steadily rising ocean. Because water quickly seeps up through incomplete floors, it is vital that the player build complete platforms to slow the rising water. The goal is to reach the balloon that hovers high in the sky, but tower-tumbling and thieving enemies prowl the depths and soar the skies, looking for ways to drown the player’s spirit.
The gameplay is simple but addictive. The player uses the D-pad to move the Eggo builder left and right, and the A button to drop puzzle pieces. The puzzle pieces come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and the player must carefully arrange them to create complete platforms. The water rises steadily, so the player must work quickly to build up the tower.
There are a variety of different enemies in Egg Mania: Eggstreme Madness. Some enemies, such as the Fish and the Jellyfish, will try to swim into the player’s tower and knock down the platforms. Other enemies, such as the Seagull and the Octopus, will try to steal the player’s puzzle pieces. The player must be careful to avoid these enemies and keep the tower intact.
In addition to the main game mode, Egg Mania: Eggstreme Madness also features a number of bonus modes. In the Time Attack mode, the player must build up the tower as high as possible within a certain time limit. In the Puzzle mode, the player must solve a series of puzzles by arranging puzzle pieces to create complete platforms.
Egg Mania: Eggstreme Madness is a fun and challenging puzzle game that will keep players entertained for hours. The gameplay is simple but addictive, and the graphics are colorful and charming. The game is also relatively easy to learn, making it a good choice for players of all ages.
