Oof, a technically impressive game, but an assault on the senses (both visually and audibly) 
Changing vertical scroll direction based on the player pressing up or down is a big flaw imho.

Matter of taste, I guess, as I kind of love it! It gives the game this sense of insane motion that just makes it feel more frenetic and exciting.
Anyway, my friend got back to me about how to rip the .rom after purchasing the game from Project EGG. Here's what he told me:
1. Get quickbms installed.
2. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/415017986898919424/823269648971202560/project_egg.bms
3. Figure out whatever your game code is (there are several ways of doing this; one is just looking in the file name for the game's thumbnail on the website).
(If you want a more elegant solution that also works better for doing this for many games, use this: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/742446737322409997/747893075728400454/script.py)
For the demo its ERTG0002, for the full game its ERTG0001.
4. Navigate into where Project EGG stores your game data (within program files x86 or whatever) and go into that game folder; then, launch the game from the launcher.
5. An exe should be created in that folder, just copy it somewhere else.
6. Run the quickbms script on the exe. The file you want is slot1.rom.
Also, in case you want to extract disk-based games, you'll also want this: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/726971090366365728/727119997033381980/egg_disk.py
Project EGG stores floppy games as raw sectors. Run this in the same folder as the EGGFDIMG files.
Usage: python egg_disk.py [disk format] where disk format is any one of d88, dsk and fdi.
Output disk image will be named disk_[disk number].[format] (disk number starts at 0).
Do note that none of these scripts are mine; the core extraction script and the floppy disk packing script were made by eientei, the auto-download free games script and download metadata scripts were made by @obskyr.
Big thanks to Bestest for this info. Hope it helps you guys out! I won't have a chance to play around with this for at least a week or so, I think, but it should be interesting to mess with once time permits.
