Eggs turn into animal assistants such as chickens, dragons, penguins or turtles.^[1] Different colored eggs will turn into different animals. These assistants can aid the player by shooting, or flying, and the player can have a maximum of three animal assistants at any time.^[1]

If the player collects 400 stars, they can get an extra life.^[1]

The story follows the eponymous Hermie as he witnesses an egg leap out of a trashcan and, peering inside said receptacle, falls into an alternate dimension.
