About Evil Egg
Evil Egg is a frenetic arcade shooter from developer Ivy Sly, released on October 30 2025 for PC. Set in a chaotic world of little green men under siege by surreal horrors, you play as an underpowered hatchling armed with over-the-top firepower. The game leans into pure action with neon-soaked visuals and a sound design that thrives on disorienting intensity. It’s a single-player sprint through escalating waves of enemies, blending twin-stick shooting with a darkly comic tone. Think of it as a chaotic platformer with the pacing of a bullet-hell game and the art style of a trippy fever dream. Ideal for players who want to rage-quit and immediately start again.
Gameplay
Controls are simple: one stick moves the egg, the other shoots in all directions. Your goal is to survive as long as possible while racking up kills. The world is a maze of shifting hazards, from flying meat golems to laser grids, all set to a pounding synth soundtrack. Each level introduces new enemy types and power-ups that let you switch between machine guns, homing missiles, or even a temporary invincibility eggshell. The camera shakes constantly, and the screen floods with color during boss fights. It’s not deep, there’s no crafting or story, but it demands reflexes and a tolerance for chaos. Sessions rarely last more than 10 minutes before you’re crushed by a falling boulder or overwhelmed by swarm enemies.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate Evil Egg 82% with a 4.3/5 for challenge. Community stats show 37% completion rate, averaging 7.2 hours played. Critics on Metacritic gave it 88/100, praising its “unrelenting energy.” Player moods are split: 42% call it “addictive” while 28% say it’s “frustratingly short.” One review: “Like a sugar rush in bullet-hell form, exhilarating but over in an hour.” Achievements include 12 total (10% completion for surviving 60 seconds), with 83% of players earning at least half. Despite its difficulty, 61% say they’d replay it, though 17% admit to rage-quitting within the first level.
PlayPile's Take
Evil Egg is a $19.99 dopamine hit for arcade purists who thrive on chaos. It lacks depth but excels at delivering 10-minute bursts of chaotic fun. If you’re looking for something to play during a coffee break or late-night gaming session, it’s perfect. The achievements are easy to unlock, but the game’s brevity means you’ll likely burn through it in a single weekend. Not for those who want narrative or strategy, this is pure reflex-testing madness. Buy it on sale if you enjoy high-speed absurdity, but don’t expect replay value beyond your first few deaths.
