Well, I tried the original Dizzy game, called Dizzy!, but I didn't like it very
much. The egg could walk, but when you wanted to jump, you tumbled end over
end, so there wasn't very much control over it. I gave up in frustration.
Thanks anyway!

Seconding the Dizzy recommendation: Codemasters banged these
action-adventures out by the dozen, and they're all surprisingly good
despite being formulaic. Once you've played through all the Dizzy games,
there are all the Seymour games too.
There's even a Slightly Magic re-spin on Steam!
To get the full Codemasters experience, you've got to load from tape,
'cos that's how they were sold:

The games that started this whole budget genre was probably David
Jones's "Finders Keepers" for Mastertronic.
