By the way has anyone else noticed that their character slowed down considerably in anyway during game play? Might have just been my ROM. --- End quote --- jdbailey1206 -- from your screen it looks like you are playing scambled egg not Eggs -- both games are from the same maker but are different games !! Should have noticed when you said " I feel like Tuna" -- since Tuna is in scrambled egg -- in Eggs it is Chomper !!! --- End quote --- Yeah figured this out last night. Found out I needed Scrambled Eggs to make eggs work. Gonna try for a new high score tonight. |

Had to make a controls.ini entry to be 4 way, as I was realizing playing this game with the servos on eightway is impossible. Not a bad little game, but I agree with the above, the chomper going thru the walls is weak and the inability to kick more than once at a time is absolute garbage. I end up having to wait to kick again somewhere, only to have to run away from the chomper morphing thru the walls at me. Seems you take more time getting the chomper far enough back to do anything, since it isn't as responsive. --- End quote --- Yeah, the restriction on how rapidly you can perform consecutive kicks is frustrating at times, especially since the game still invokes your character’s kick animation but doesn’t actually register a kick on an egg if you do it too quickly after the previous one. A tip that comes to mind, in case it’s not obvious: There are always some eggs on the playfield that sit in wall openings, making them only accessible from either left/right or top/bottom, but not both. If you leave those ones for last, you’ll have a really hard time getting in to directly kick them with the chomper in hot pursuit and the pesky bugs constantly trying to undo your work. So, I’ve found it’s best to put priority on clearing those eggs out as quickly as possible at the start of the stage, because not only do the other eggs and chickies on the screen provide additional cover from enemies, but you usually have the ability to attack the tricky eggs indirectly via the “domino effect” using other available eggs. Since I selected this game I hope I can find a freakin’ half hour before the deadline to put up a score… |

39,130. I just get impatient & sit at an egg, pounding on the button, waiting for action, & then I get eaten. Or, I get painted into a corner by the munchy guy & an insect. Dumb. Learned how to use the rooster effectively--he's awesome. -J |

Makes scoring a little easier. :) |
