Overview
Eggerland is the name given to a series of action puzzle games developed by HAL Laboratory starring the brave hero Lolo and usually featuring his love interest Lala and the diabolical King Egger. The goal of each game is to run around single-screen mazes, collecting all the heart icons while avoiding enemies. With many of the stages there is a specific path to success, using the enemies and the various obstacles in tandem, that the player must ascertain in order to beat the stage and move on.
Depending on the game, these single-screens are either presented in a tower format or a labyrinth format. The tower games, such as the Adventure of Lolo series, are simply a linear path through a series of single-screen stages. The labyrinth games are a little more open-ended and requires that the player pick the best course through the many screens.
