A new trend in gaming features egg-themed games, with three titles launching within a week. The first, Egg, is a free 3D puzzle platformer by Terry Cavanagh, where players guide a box of six eggs across a cliffside. The second, Egging On, developed by Egobounds, releases on November 6 and involves escaping a chicken coop while navigating various environments. The third, Evil Egg, presents a faux-historical arcade experience where players control a newly hatched creature saving a world of little green men. Each game offers unique gameplay experiences centered around the egg theme.
