Egg Collector

Egg Collector is an endless runner with a simple job at its centre: grab as many eggs as you can before something stops you. Your character runs forward automatically, obstacles and enemies come at you in sequence, and the eggs sit in the path in places that are just awkward enough to make you think.

It is built for short sessions and repeat attempts. A run is over quickly, the restart is instant, and the only thing that carries between runs is how well you know what is coming.

How to Play Egg Collector

Your character runs on its own. What you control is jumping, and the timing of those jumps is the whole game. Jump to clear an obstacle, jump to collect an egg that is out of reach, and jump to avoid enemies placed in the path.

The run ends when you hit something. Because the levels keep feeding you new ground rather than ending at a finish line, the score is the eggs you collected, and beating your last run is the only goal the game sets you.

Controls

• Jump: spacebar, the Up arrow, or click.
• Touch: tap anywhere on the screen to jump.
• Goal: collect eggs, avoid obstacles and enemies, and keep running.

Tips and Tricks

• Read ahead, not underfoot. Look at the right edge of the screen where obstacles appear rather than at your character.
• Skip eggs that sit inside an obstacle pattern you have not learned yet. One egg is not worth ending a run.
• Jump later than instinct tells you. Most early deaths are from jumping too soon, not too late.
• Obstacle sequences repeat. A pattern that kills you three times will become routine once you recognise its opening.
• Play in short bursts. Runner games punish tired reflexes faster than almost any other genre.

Who This Game Is For

This suits anyone who wants an arcade game they can play for ninety seconds at a time. The controls are one button, so there is nothing to learn beyond timing.

Players who want variety or progression will find it repetitive, which is true of the runner genre generally. The appeal is beating your own number.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it suitable for children?

Yes. It is a colourful, single-button runner with no violent content, which makes it an easy one to hand to a younger player.
