I never planned to care this much about a game where you drive a car with an egg sitting on top. Yet here I am, writing another personal blog entry about it, still remembering the tension in my shoulders and the laugh that escaped my mouth every time that fragile egg betrayed me. Some games entertain you. Others annoy you. A few quietly stay with you. This one did all three.

I first played it on a day when my brain felt overloaded. I wanted something easy—no rules to remember, no story to follow. Just a few minutes of distraction. That was my mistake. Because once I started playing Eggy Car, “a few minutes” quietly turned into much more.

A Game That Looks Too Simple to Matter

At first glance, the game almost feels like a joke. One car. One egg. One endlessly bumpy road. No music pushing emotions, no tutorial holding your hand. You press a button, the car moves, the egg shakes.

And then it falls.

What surprised me wasn’t that I failed—it was how natural that failure felt. The game doesn’t shame you. It doesn’t flash red warnings or dramatic sound effects. It just calmly ends the run, like it’s saying, “Yep, that happened.”

Instead of feeling annoyed, I smiled. That reaction caught me off guard.
