Eggerland
The Eggerland (エッガーランド) series consists of several puzzle games developed by HAL Laboratory. Its first release was in 1985 for MSX computer systems. The gameplay is almost exactly the same across the series, with only a few changes over the years, mainly graphical.
The hero of most games is Lolo, a blue, spherical character with eyes, arms, and legs. The story mainly deals with King Egger, the villain, capturing princess Lala, who is similar to Lolo, only colored pink or red, and wearing a bow. Lolo must rescue Lala by travelling through Egger's domain and solving the puzzle rooms laid out before him.
None of the Japanese games in the Eggerland series were released in North America, and, conversely, none of the three American games were released in Japan. Europe saw the release of three Japanese games, as well as the three American games.
Below is a list of all video games and their respective releases.
Although the graphics and game engine of the Japanese Adventures of Lolo are identical to those of the Western Adventures of Lolo 2, the stages are completely different. Therefore, they are two separate video games. The Japanese Adventures of Lolo 1 & 2 include original stages, whereas the American Adventures of Lolo 1 & 2 are compilations of stages taken from earlier Japan-only titles. The American Adventures of Lolo 3 includes mostly original stages, instead, usually easier than the stages in the Japanese Adventures of Lolo 2.
The player must guide Lolo through a room of 11×11 tiles and have Lolo collect all of the Heart Framers (sometimes referred to as Hearts) in the room. Doing so opens up a Jewel Box, which contains an item (sometimes a key or jewel). Successfully acquiring the contents of the Jewel Box will clear the room of all monsters and open the way to the next room(s). Players need to navigate Lolo past the many monsters seen throughout the rooms — some are harmless while others are deadly.
Lolo's only weapon is a Magic Shot. Two shots (and always two shots) are obtained by collecting certain Heart Framers (sometimes referred to as Shot Framers). Heart Framers containing magic shots are not differentiated in appearance from regular Heart Framers. Collecting a Heart Framer that does contain magic shots, however, is normally indicated by a different sound effect than a regular Heart Framer's. Magic shots allow Lolo to temporarily turn enemies into Eggs, which can be pushed around, but not pulled. Monsters in eggs will hatch after a few seconds. If Lolo shoots an egg a second time, it will fly off the screen, though the monster will reappear at its original starting point a few seconds later. Reappearance is typically indicated by an outlined box of sorts and then the monster physically appearing very shortly afterward. Lolo may move through the outlined box unhindered.
If a monster's starting point is covered with an Emerald Framer or another monster and there are no warp holes in the level, the monster will not return to the level. Lolo himself cannot cover a monster's starting point to cause this to happen. If Lolo is on a monster's starting point and it reappears, Lolo will be "on top" of the monster and can usually walk off of it, though some monsters like Almas or Skulls will kill Lolo if he is standing on their starting points.
