Released by Bothtec in 1985, EGGY is an action game that won the Excellence Award at the "1st Bothtec Program Contest," depicting the battle between Earth and Gasp on Eggy.

While an action title, it's not a frantic shooter; players control Ena to retrieve falling supplies. Due to quirky design—weapons being ground-attack only, mandatory crouching before flight, and a unique floating movement—avoiding enemy attacks is key. The 20-stage game is cleared when enough supplies drop. Novice players may prioritize survival (clearing without collecting), while experienced players can aim for a high score by collecting them.

A key element highlighting this title's fun is its unique energy recovery method. Ena's energy decreases when taking damage or over time, leading to a game over if it hits zero. Energy replenishment is thus needed, but it requires several steps. Recovery involves attacking ground-moving Mimians (by stepping on or shooting them) to transform them into Zolm, and then shooting the Zolm and collecting it while it flashes. However, attacking a flashing Zolm again will cause it to explode, making rapid-fire attacks strictly forbidden. Precise shots are therefore required.

As attacks intensify from the mid-game, replenishing energy while dodging enemies creates tension akin to an action puzzle.
