An overview of Carry an Egg

Official cover art for the game (Image via Roblox)

Carry an Egg is a two-player parkour-centric game, where one must carry their egg-shaped friend across challenges. As mentioned earlier, you may either be the egg or the carrier carrying them on a tray.

These roles are decided based on which loading slot you walk into in the lobby. The carrier’s role is more proactive during gameplay, being the one carrying out most of the heavy lifting.

While navigating the game world, both players will encounter unique challenges. The carrier will encounter platforming challenges that seem simple but can be rather complex to execute. On the other hand, the egg must try their best to rebalance their weight to keep themself intact.

Clear the course and reach the end to win the game and unlock various badges.

Featured gameplay elements

Platformer experience

Platformer challenges in this experience are fairly straightforward, considering the simple controls that both players have access to. The game utilizes standard Roblox controls for its movement and basic navigation, making the bar of entry fairly low.

Both players can enhance their experience by having some way to communicate with each other. So, we recommend using the built-in chat feature, the voice chat feature, or alternative means (like Discord) to let each other know how to proceed.

Checkpoints

Checkpoints act as progress markers, allowing you to resume where you left off after you die. These are both a quality-of-life feature and a safety net, making it an inseparable part of the game. Even if you leave the experience, you can use the teleporter in the hub world to rejoin the game at the latest checkpoint.

You can view the different checkpoints when you first load into the game, showcasing the four unique courses that await you.

These are exclusively premium, requiring you to spend Robux. The stocks of certain items are limited as well, making it prudent to nab the desired item before it becomes inaccessible.

Potions are the only items that give you a tangible gameplay benefit. The stock of potions in the game includes Freeze, Fire Resistance, Low Gravity, and Healing potions. You need 79, 49, 49, and 29 Robux, respectively, to purchase them.
