Bad Egg Overview
Bad Egg was one of those simple, quick games you'd find during the Flash era. It didn't try to be anything more than a few minutes of distraction, usually on a site packed with other small games. The visuals were basic, with a clear goal that didn't need much explanation.
You control a small basket, moving it left and right along the bottom of the screen. Eggs fall from the top, and you have to catch the good ones while avoiding the bad eggs that are marked with an X. The main objective is to catch as many good eggs as you can to build a high score before your basket gets hit by a bad egg, which ends the game. The eggs fall faster as you progress, and the bad ones become more frequent, creating a steady increase in pressure. It feels like a straightforward test of reflexes and focus, where a single mistake resets everything.
