Our take on Egglien
Its central twist makes shooting a movement mechanic: bullets propel Asteri through the air, rather than serving only as a way to attack. The level-based campaign and separate boss rush mode also give the game a defined sequence of stages alongside a focused challenge mode.
What is Egglien?
Egglien is a retro-styled action platformer in which Asteri’s bullets send her flying through the air.
Across 40 levels in five worlds, players encounter enemies and discover mechanics while Asteri works to restore Earth’s core. The story follows an alien who gains new powers after hearing a voice, with a friend accompanying her on the mission. Fully written cutscenes present the story and its encounters. The game also includes boss fights, a boss rush mode for an extra challenge, original music, and controller support.
