"A very creative way to pack several completely different settings tightly connected to each
other into a short level of maybe 20 to 30 minutes duration. You get to collect an egg in
each of the areas until you reach your trusted home again in the end. The tasks are few,
given the brevity, but they are very diverse and fun to get through. I am not a big fan of
the apparent "improvements" on Lara's animations though - they may indeed look more
"realistic" this way, but they certainly feel more clumsy when you play. Great little fun
adventure, not to be missed." - MichaelP (12-Jan-2024) |

"Mario's last level I had left to play is all cute and cozy, not only checking boxes for holiday mood but also for cool design in general. Chambers of lara's memories are done sticking to the topics' absolute essence but also with some creative twist. Controls are slower but the level is too short to complain about them. I rate this 5/5 lol." - DJ Full (18-Nov-2023) |

"Very short level, probably too short. It took me 24 minutes, the WT video is only 10 minutes. Creative idea with the different locations, maybe the game with the most locations per time. Everything about it is on the better side, but I can't help to think this would have been much better if it had been longer." - tuxraider (24-Jun-2023) |

"Very short but oh so very sweet indeed! i loved this, what a brilliant idea to combine 5
locations from laras past TR history and put them all in one level in a fresh but still
nostalgic way. from beginning in an underwater egyptian tomb to finishing in laras
mansion "home sweet home" style it was a blast with great platforming, timed runs, traps
and puzzles in a variety of environments with stunning textures/lighting and atmosphere
perfectly set up with those familiar tunes and music from past games. my favorite area
was the great wall from tr2 its so familiar but yet so fresh as well at the same time.
my only gripe is that it is just too short, it was so much fun and nostalgic that i
wanted more gameplay and more locations to explore. my only hope is that sponge will
make another one of these in the future because it was just to die for" - John (26-Aug-2021) |

"Not peaceful this small level, but interesting and entertaining. You'll visit different locations to get 5 eggs and finish in Lara's mansion. In the penultimate area I couldn't find the hint to know the safe tiles on the spiked floor, and in the last area is difficult to grab the rope (take one step back before the running jump). Anyway a level worth to play with no much difficulties. Good work." - Jose (19-Jul-2020) |

"This is a short (30 minutes for most of us) but satisfying
level with a dash of danger amidst an assortment of good-
looking environments as you search for the five pickups.
Lara's animation is a bit jerky but not annoying until you
reach the rope for the final sequence. You have to take a step
back from the edge so you'll grab the rope with a running
jump, and that causes you to get stuck in the wall behind you.
Moreover, when Lara lands on the other side she skids in most
unladylike fashion and bumps against the far wall. But the
concept is inspired and the execution is most appealing. Not
quite in the mold of most Easter levels, but a fun and
atmospheric raid. Recommended." - Phil (07-May-2020) |

"Nice , that's what Lara says when picking up one of the 5 eggs , and this level is quite nice evocating 5 places where she raided before : Egypt , Angkor , China , Peru and Greece.
Sponge knows how to present things in a different perspective by use of cameras , objects and placement of objects , good sounds , shaping of the blocks and other convincing details , to bring an enjoyable level to play , without a gameplay necessary grand. My favourite mini-world here is the Egyptian I regret there was a camera showing the shootable vase (players like to work out things by themselves). Good work !" - eRIC (06-May-2020) |

"What a neat idea to set this short Easter level around different TR2 adventures (I especially enjoyed the Great Wall section) as Lara searches for the five precious eggs to add to her collection of trophies. It may not be a long level, but it certainly packs in a lot of action and is great fun to play." - Jay (02-May-2020) |

"Although it was fairly short at about 10 minutes, I enjoyed this level for its beautifully reworked classic settings with an impressive attention to detail as we've come to expect from Sponge. Even for the short time gameplay was also rather decent, with some eggs being easy to get but some involve a few decent traps, the spike trap room being the highlight of the level. The areas are all designed with great care and I cannot really fault much here. Overall, a really nice Easter gift we have received here. Found no secrets." - manarch2 (01-May-2020) |

"Fairly short but very interesting level in a colorful atmosphere, I really enjoyed looking for the egg in the teeth's room. Lara's animations are also quite well done. The search for the 5 eggs is not very difficult whereas the arrival in the room of Lara surprised me enough." - Drakan (28-Apr-2020) |

"Here's a pleasant, quirky little piece for
the Easter season. The sole objective is
to find five eggs in various locations,
all of which are heavily inspired by
various "official" levels. There's nothing
difficult to accomplish, but you move
along quite nicely in a linear fashion and
the different sections are all pleasingly
constructed. I thought that the spike jump
puzzle was a really neat touch as well.
Thanks for the gift." - Ryan (18-Apr-2020) |

"Quite a short but well made level. It took me 30 minutes to
complete it while trying to look through every possible
nook and cranny however sadly there are no actual secrets
(because the one's that are marked as such are the eggs
that you're trying to find throughout the level but these
are mandatory to obtain in order to progress, so they are
not really secrets). The level combines areas and textures
from multiple TR games in a seamless way without feeling
disjointed instead feeling as if you are stepping in a
another world so I commend the creator on this. The level
has a few interesting sections however I found it to be a
bit too simple gameplay wise overall (except for the Mayan
temple part; that was a good puzzle).
It wasn't a bad ride and I do recommend this level if you
want a decent quick Easter egg hunt (literally speaking)." - Cruzader (17-Apr-2020) |

"Quite fun search for five coloured Easter eggs in different
environments, reminiscing of different Tomb Raider settings
we all know. The textures and the atmosphere look and feel
well done and there's even a TR2 baddie breaking into a
window when Lara finally reaches her room. I found the
spikes room puzzle egg to be the most ingenious but every
pick was rewarding. Thank you, Sponge." - Jorge22 (15-Apr-2020) |

"There are 5 different locations (but really 6) in this
level modeled on locations from the original Tomb Raiders.
Very nice, quite short custom. The purpose of each location
was to gather one egg (which was a secret). There were
several opponents and there was even a mini-boss. Every
time a different music played in each location. Texturing
was wonderful, same with the lighting. To sum up a very
good and short level. I would recommend. Thanks." - BlackWolfTR (14-Apr-2020) |

"Here we have some traps, eggs, and a variety of environments. This level is more like five mini-levels strung together, and each one of those seems to take heavy inspiration from one of the official games. The gameplay is relatively short and simple with some switches and light combat. The most complex part is the spike pit trap, which I found pretty engaging, although the trigger for the fifth flame took a while for me to figure out (it wasn't indicated with a camera clue like the others). Overall it's an interesting concept that came across to me as a brief celebration of various Tomb Raider locations. While it may not be a typical Easter-themed level, I find it a nice addition nonetheless. 24 minutes." - JesseG (14-Apr-2020) |
