Color Eggs

Editors' ReviewDownload.com staffFebruary 29, 2024Good graphics and well-done ambient barnyard noises lift Color Eggs above the average Columns clone. It's not all fun and games, though. On installation, the program offers to send you to the Gamextazy Archive. The archive page opens a Web page and a pop-up ad. Installation puts two promotional icons on your desktop. We only got to play to Level 4 before the demo game ended, but it was fun while it lasted. Your goal is to hatch eggs by matching three of the same color in a line or in a triangle formation. You can change the order of the three-egg column while it's still in the air with the 8 and the 2 on the numeric keypad (or with the up and down arrows). The 4 and the 6 (or the left and right arrows) let you move the column back and forth. Pressing the space bar drops the column into the well. Because the eggs are round, they roll when they hit the stack. As a hint, the eggs in the well start to wiggle when a match is near. Fans of puzzle games should enjoy the look and playability of Color Eggs.
