Egg Mania: Eggstreme Madness , also known as Eggo Mania
[2] in PAL territories, is a
puzzle video game released in 2002 by HotGen. It was released for
PlayStation 2 ,
Xbox ,
GameCube , and
Game Boy Advance .
At the start of a level, crates begin falling from the sky. Each one has a picture of the block it contains on it. The players have to stack these blocks and build a tower up to the hot-air-balloon to finish the level, but it is not that simple: the water at the bottom of the level rises and if the water reaches a row with a hole in it, the row will be destroyed;
[3] if the player decides to take a shortcut, the water will rise faster.
[4] Also, several enemies randomly appear, some stealing crates, and some dragging the player into the water.
[5] There are also items in bubbles that give the player a power-up or help to destroy an opponent's towers.
The game was met with positive to mixed reception.
