Eternity Egg

If it wasn't for the weird aesthetic of it all, this game would fade into nothing as a $0.99 throwaway game that you would only find by searching the entire Steam catalog and sorting by lowest price first. It reminds me of a weird rental you would get for Saturn or really early PS1 that caught your eye with the cover but wound up ruining your entire weekend by having to run through the sunk cost fallacy of wanting to at least get SOMETHING out of it before realizing maybe a few hours in that you made a horrible mistake. In the opening, the videos have those odd little compression and static-y artifacts you would see in an early 3D console game, very nice and all, and the character designs use simplistic shapes cobbled together to create a semblance of a character, enemy, etc, along with a color palette that was either the result of a developer's limited knowledge of color theory, or simply a limitation of the hardware they were working with. In all, high praise for replicating this to an almost scary level of accuracy.

controls take some getting used to for sure, but you can pull off some pretty satisfying movement even at a base level

Cool visuals and I enjoy the mystery that is this game

This is one of my favorite platformers currently! The movement takes getting used to, but once you understand how to operate your character the game opens up quickly and becomes fun. The beginning area is deeply unclear, but since the game's in early access while writing this I'm sure that won't be an issue in the future. I recommend opening the menu and checking the controls when you first start playing the game to see what you can do and practice movement that requires tab. One thing that is a mild issue is some areas currently have problems with lag, presumably due to how much stuff is loaded in, and the only thing you can do in the settings is change your resolution so there's not really an easy way to fix that. If you want a platformer with interesting movement and unique visuals, I highly recommend it. It's very captivating.
