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.
