Before you turn away just from the title and description. Give me the time to let you truly see the gem hidden under a funny name and storyline.

The Gameplay
For the game you take on the roll of an Easter egg out to avenge the death of your father by the evil Easter rabbit. The story plays a relative small roll and only serves to explain why an egg is going on around killing other eggs in search of the Easter rabbit. It’s the game play that really makes this games worth. Unlike many platform shooters you don’t just go around shooting anything that moves and blowing up barrels that no one knows how they got there. In fact, you start off with a bat, not a gun, and must carefully time your whacks to kill the enemy eggs. Even once you start to get guns and other weapons you must at all times work on conserving ammo and can never go around unloading bullets into your enemies.
The game works on a one hit dead system so there’s no health to worry about. Just don’t get hit. Even as fun as the game is, any game will need change or else it soon gets boring. That is where this game truly shines. It doesn’t stay the same platform shooting for long. It soon starts to throw in armor you can pick up that will allow you to take several hits before dieing. Many times the entire game style will change such as you have a small set of wings and must fly or turn into a egg tank and roll along blasting away at your enemies. The bosses in the game show similar creativity and are hard yet beatable.
Rather than use a save system or save slots the game uses passwords that you get upon reaching a new level. This system harkens back to the old days of gaming and while old, it still works as good now as it did then.

Visual/Audio
The graphics in the game are good as evident from the screenshots and look even better in game. The game contains many small touches that help add to the total effect. Things such as reloading animations and sounds, although that may seem minor, a game without it seams less alive. The enemies are neat looking and come in many different forms and colors. Throughout the entire game the graphics stay constant, and although they change settings drastically, from outside, to underground, to advanced cites, they clearly exist in the same universe. The music is fine and is neither to quiet nor does it overwhelm the gamer. The sound effects follow suit.
Although graphics do not make a game, they can take away from one. In the case of this game, they just put the icing on the cake.

Overview
Although at first glance the settings may seam strange, it is meant to be humorous and provide a few laughs. When it comes to gameplay, however, there’s no joke. You’ll find you’re self struggling well past when you should have left for work to get to the next level.
