Hermie Hopperhead is a platformer. You can jump and defeat enemies by jumping on them. A twist is the feature that you will find walking eggs in each level. You can make them follow you and collect uo to three companions this way. You can let go of the eggs following you. In this case, they will attack enemies or do other things, depending on their type. Switching to following will then freeze them until you touch them to follow you again. You can collect stars in each level. 400 stars will give you an extra life, and you can spend your stars on the eggs following you after completing a level. Once you have spent 1000 stars, the egg will hatch into an animal companion. You will get a different animal with certain abilities and behaviour depending on the colours of the egg.
