It JUST occurred to me why Android 15's Easter egg involves simply adding a flag to the existing spaceship game. The flag for the flag IS the Easter egg, as it's a reference to perhaps the biggest change in Android 15: Android's new aconfig flagging system…
This minor update to Android's Easter egg is now live in Android 15 Beta 4, by the way!

The Easter Egg in Android 15 is essentially the same space travel mini-game as in Android 14, but with the addition of the ability for users to put flags on space objects.
However, it also has one more additional feature: the 'Landroid AUTOPILOT ENGAGED' screensaver, which, when launched, displays the spaceship traveling in autopilot mode.
In order for the screensaver to appear in the list, you must first activate the android easter egg. To activate the easter egg, open Settings > About Phone > Android Version and tap on "Android Version" several times until you see the Android 15 logo floating in space. Hold down the "Logo" button and you'll see "stars" start whizzing by, then a space travel mini-game will open.
