Egg, Inc. Ratings and Reviews

This game is about one simple task, make chickens. With this one task come many difficulties like making more money or when to prestige. I played this game on an iPad when I was younger and finally got it on my phone for about a year now. This game was always fun to play with chickens running across your screen. The game is simple. Press a button and chickens come out. Buy some upgrades in the science research building and earn more money. Use the money to buy new egg houses to make more chickens. Buy more upgrades to buy new trucks to transport more chickens. Buy upgrades and keep doing that until you can upgrade to the next egg and do it again. But, new eggs equal more money so you get more stuff before you upgrade again and again and again. After a few eggs, you get a soul egg which can be obtained after you prestige. This resets your progress but you get a soul egg boost which equals more money. I just got all the achievements and unlocked trophies which I never thought would be in this simple game with chickens. This game is not only fun but also free which means no money. You might think, “Oh, it probably has lots of ads” but it has none unless you want to. Some mystery gifts appear randomly which you can either get by watching an ad or it can be free without watching an ad. This game is great for free time and very fun with the silliness it has.

I love this game. It is fun and you learn how to strategize. I like how they constantly put out new contracts and they update it regularly to keep it interesting, challenging, and running relatively smoothly. My only dislike about this game is the Wordscape ads. I don’t know what it is about this specific ad but it makes my phone so hot that i can barely hold it. It even has warped my lifeproof case. After the ad plays i can barely play the game and my phone can barley function. Even if i exit out of the app. It also depletes half my battery life within minutes. So every time this specific ad plays i will just exit out of the app completely bc nothing is worth making my phone practically crash. Other then that i really enjoy this game.

Update: Since i wrote this review a while back some things have changed. Love the upgrades. I do now have the monthly plan to opt out of ads/videos. So worth the money to me and well as the constant 2x multiplier. I am almost 2 years into this game and I absolutely love it. Definitely a strategy based game. Way more addictive than candy crush and less money to play. Which makes me want to play even more. I love how they constantly add new challenges and updates.

I didn’t see where i could email or contact the app. I just wanted to ask if they could add Mardi Gras in the decorating/landscape section.

Let's be honest, you're watching a bunch of chickens endlessly run across the screen. That being said, I cannot seem to stay away from this game. I've tried just about every idle game out there (the tappers, the fighters, zombies, mafia, fishing, you name it) and, IMHO, this one is the best. Sure, it's not the most action packed, but there are no stupid cards to collect to level stuff up or other pointless objectives just to slow down progress; you make money and buy upgrades...that's it. The developers have also provided daily events, co-op events, drones to shoot down, etc. that give you plenty of opportunities to earn golden eggs, soul/mystical eggs (whatever they are calling them these days) or just extra cash to keep your farm moving forward. You can watch as many or as few ads as you want and go at whatever pace you like. I also like that there are trophies to collect…..does give you something more to work toward. I have downloaded and deleted at least 20 other games since I got this one and still come back to this several times a day. So try it; you might be pleasantly surprised, as I was.
Only thing that I would really change is the music. I had to turn it off because it just put me to sleep. Need some variety or something with a little more energy. Anyway, kudos to the developers on this one…..now I have to get back and unlock my dark matter egg farm.

I’ve been playing this game off and on for about four years. First of all I for the most part enjoyed the artifact update and I’m surprised with the speed between the artifact update and shells, I think it’s very good that this game is being updated at a much faster pace than it used to be. Very little complains from the shell update except I wish there was a ranch set because I want my farm to be a ranch in Mexico. I think the artifact update was overall a very good thing for the game but I don’t like how it is towards the end stages. Artifacts get ridiculously expensive towards the later stages and you feel cheated if you spend 1M golden eggs on a final stage artifact and it doesn’t come out legendary. On top of that sending ships gets tedious. I have no trouble with the amount of time it takes for a Henerprise (18 hours) but it is very annoying having prestige every so often even with a maxed out fuel tank. Sending the longest form of the Henerprise requires so many different types of eggs that it makes getting the right amount so you can send the perfect amount of ships before prestiging a big pain. I’d love it if you could just automatically get the eggs below the level your egg is on but I understand it invalidates the fuel tank, maybe it could be turned into something else. Overall I love this game just have some annoyances with it.

I’ve been playing this game for two years, I just never got sick of it and that’s what makes Eggs, Inc. better than other idlers. The concept of an idle game in itself seems pointless on paper until you try them, then they’re addicting- for like a few days at best. The mechanics and features are what you would expect, most idlers have a lot in common so I’m not going to waste time describing everything about it because it’ll take less time to download and learn on your own, that’s part of the appeal, it’s easy. Idle games are easy by definition. Where this one branches off from the others is after those first few days of play, when milestones are harder to achieve and everything slows down. Typically I get bored, forget about it and replace it with a new game. This one keeps you coming back, and not just with the daily gifts (which don’t reset when you miss a day), or the frequent contracts or events. It’s just a nicely tuned game, you always feel like you’re making progress so you always want to open the app again to do more later. Whoever designed it to be paced the way that it is just got it perfectly right I think, plus there are no forced ads- you can occasionally opt to watch one for a free gift if you want. There isn’t anything else I could ask from this game, it’s perfect and simple and I’m sure I’ll still be playing it a year from now.

I’ve been playing Egg, Inc. for quite while now and I think it’s great. The main issue I would like to address is the big red chicken run button. When you get to a later stage in the game you can hold it but when you are holding it I accidentally move my finger to point when it stops working a lot. This can be really frustrating since sometimes when using the infinite hatchery boost I don’t look at mine screen for a couple of minutes. Even though the button does become slightly lighter when being held I believe the developers should add some kind of color change or more significant way to tell.

Another thing I would like to address are the in-app purchases. I think the upgrading the permit is quite worth it and a great purchase but in my opinion the piggyback isn’t quite worth it. I think perhaps there should be a discount for those with the upgraded permit. The ads are greatly placed and usually a worth while investment.

With the new artifacts update there are more things to do which is great but I don’t quite understand the fueling. The fueling requires different egg types and to get those different eggs I believe you have to prestige. I don’t really like that. I think there should perhaps be some kind of egg trading system in place. Where you could trade your current eggs to the ones you need to fuel the rocket. If you could buy them that’s great too. Other then the things I mentioned the game is great.

I love this game, but the prices of in app purchases don’t make since—they are way too high (and you don’t get your money’s worth). One of the main purchases you can make is golden eggs to buy boosts and other beneficial things in the game, but you have to spend $5-$20 to get packs of eggs and the biggest pack you can get ($20) only has 22,000 eggs in it. That might sound like a lot but I pull 2-3 thousand golden eggs a day just casually playing the game. The amount of eggs I get in a day is plenty to buy enough of most boosts to progress steadily through the game. So you would think the incentive to buy golden eggs would be to buy bigger things such as the hyper loop train but NO that thing costs 50,000 eggs!! There is an option to crack open the piggy bank for a more reasonable $4.99, but I only recently got enough golden eggs built up in it to pay for something like the hyper loop. My point is, I think the makers of this game would make a ton more money if they just made their in app purchase prices more reasonable. Like $1 to open the piggy bank and 50,000 golden eggs for $20. And the “Pro Permit” which basically unlocks a fuller version of the game, should be more like $4.99. If the prices were more reasonable, I probably would have spent money on this game by now (which I’ve been playing for a few months). But as it stands, I have no plans to drop any real cash on these ridiculous prices.

This is an decent idle game, the music and sounds plus the gameplay itself is simple and addicting. I love the idea of the game and the small story bits to go along with each new egg. But after a while I’ve begun to notice issues with the progression, and more recently with the notifications and icons. For balancing, I often find myself with a huge lack of transportation. Either the prices were too steep or the game won’t let me buy more vehicles, either way you can get bottlenecked artificially and it really ruins the fun. The notifications especially for the contracts and video offers do not go away on their own. You are FORCED to click on em and check out stuff you don’t care about, the icon flashes in the corner of the screen forever. It’s super annoying and feels like I’m being nagged. I get it, it’s a free game and you need cash, but don’t shove your ads in my face. Especially when you let scam games advertise with completely fake gameplay. Sometimes these ads aren’t optimized for my screen, meaning I can’t exit out of them after waiting for my reward. Forcing me to close the entire game and reboot it for no reward. It just comes off as really scummy behavior, these small things add up in a game with zero gameplay. It’s numbers but you constantly bug me with ads, contracts, and in app purchases I’m not interested in. Kindly shove it. The gall to nag your players to spend money after blocking offline earnings behind a paywall.

While I still love this game I can’t look away from the business model that they’ve implemented. With the new boosts you can greatly increase your production of everything which is great but let’s look at one key factor that rubbed me the wrong way.

Your piggy bank can become full. What this means is that you have to spend money to crack it open earlier than you want to. I used to be able to get millions of golden eggs with the massive multiplier I had. Now I can’t do that and those receive far fewer golden eggs per paid piggy bank. It’s a nerf that basically sets the tone for the game becoming pay to win. Crack the piggy bank open for $5 once it’s full or you won’t be able to rake in massive amounts of golden eggs so you can buy boosts that last a couple hours at most. Rinse and repeat until you find yourself wondering what on earth you spent $50 on iTunes for.

This game is great and I’ll still support it but it’s taken a huge leap into the greed that so many apps are guilty of. It now forces you to choose between paying money a number of times or suffering through hours of play for minimal progress that leaves you only slightly further than where you started. Before you could save a huge amount of golden eggs, break open the bank, and have enough to last you for a month or more depending on how addicted you are. Now not so much. And I think they raised the price to crack open the bank by a dollar.
