Eddy & Co is a commercial game which advertises Eismann, a German distributor for deep-frozen food. The game stars the eponymous Eddy and his three friends Trixi, Johnny, and Bonny (the company's mascots at the time of the game's development) who must save Eismann world from evil monsters.
The game itself is a classic side-scrolling platformer. The player walks through the level and must defeat a boss at the end of it to open the exit. The player can control all four characters. The player starts controlling Eddy but at every save point in the level they can switch to any other character as often as they like. Eddy and his friends each have different properties in terms of speed, health points. and how high they can jump. Enemies are defeated by jumping on them, but a power-up enables a character to throw snow balls for a short time.
