Summary

Eggcelerate! to the Tropics is the follow-up game where you have an egg in a basket on your bike roof and you need to navigate the level and get to the end. Sounds simple and to be honest it kinda is but the charm and playability of it all make for a refreshing palette cleanser of sorts. I could turn it on and have a good laugh, who cares if I made progress, just the sheer fear of the unknown and crazy hijinks is enough to satisfy me. They have absolutely nailed the handling, the level design is good as it mixes smoothly with tough terrain in equal measures. Overall it’s just so much fun and I should be commended for not using one egg pun. This version of the game doesn’t feel like it had as much in the way of unlocks as the least one but the levels are more varied and offer a lot more.
