- small improvements and bug fixes - Dark Mode

Recurring themes

Crashes & Bugs negative
Many recent reviews report frequent app crashes, especially after the latest update, making the game unplayable for some users. Users also experience various bugs, including accidental boost activation, black screens, lagging, and features not working. This directly contradicts the developer's notes claiming 'small improvements and bug fixes'.R84R105R113R120
Grind & Progression mixed
While the game is generally praised for its engaging progression and being a good time killer, many users find the late-game progression to be extremely slow and grindy, often feeling like it forces spending money to advance.R2R5R12R14
Ads & Monetization negative
The game is free-to-play with in-app purchases, and while some users appreciate that ads are optional for rewards, a significant number complain about the quantity, length, and intrusive nature of ads. Many also feel the game pushes microtransactions heavily, making it feel 'pay-to-win' or 'pay-to-complete' in later stages.R14R26R33R38
Co-op Contracts negative
The co-op contract system receives criticism for being flawed. Users report being unfairly kicked for perceived inactivity despite contributing, issues with token spamming, and a bug where more players than the limit can join a contract, leading to penalties.R347R458R805R909

Who it's for

This game is for players who enjoy idle clicker games with a long-term progression system and are looking for a casual game to kill time, especially if they are patient and don't mind a significant grind in later stages R2R5R14R33. It's also suitable for those who appreciate simple, charming graphics and gameplay R6R16R28. It is NOT for players who get easily frustrated by frequent app crashes, bugs, or a heavy reliance on in-app purchases to progress efficiently R84R97R113.

Evidence note: The recent reviews show a strong negative sentiment regarding crashes and bugs, which is a significant shift from the game's high lifetime rating. While many positive reviews praise the core gameplay, the recurring issues with stability and monetization in the recent sample are substantial. The developer's notes mention 'bug fixes' but recent reviews contradict this.

  1. [R2] 5/5 · US Egg, Inc.: Great game had it for years, it’s as simple or complex as you want it to be. 100% recommend for anyone who lives on the go.
  2. [R5] 5/5 · US Great time killer: Love it, been playing for years now
  3. [R12] 5/5 · US Very fun: Fun game. Keeps you engaged.
  4. [R14] 5/5 · US A perfect life/game balance: This game is perfect at balancing not taking up all my time but also enjoy when your playing. It’s simple and easy to figure out. The ads aren’t shoved down your throat and you can choose to watch them for extra stuff(they aren’t that good rewards but hey, it’s free) and it’s riding the fence of pay to win but if your patient 🤷‍♂️ no need to spend money.
  5. [R25] 5/5 · US Good game: Kinda good to spend some time on in
  6. [R6] 5/5 · US SO FUN: This game is so fun, it’s like a Roblox tycoon but with cute chickens you can dress up, and you can upgrade everything, very fun to play whenever!!!
  7. [R16] 5/5 · US Great job!: The game’s awesome, I live the graphics and the aspect is great. The game is well thought out and made. Overall if you like idle games this is a great one!
  8. [R28] 5/5 · US Eggcellence in game: Can’t stop myself, this game is absolutely lovely in its charm and wonderful gameplay and progression systems
  9. [R35] 5/5 · US Great idle game: Egg, Inc. is easy to understand, fun to play, and has a million different ways to play based on your preferences. Tier system adds a good progression and strategy building. Spacecraft missions are fun, rewards are great from them, and the need to prestige to keep advancing is a great touch.
  10. [R33] 5/5 · US Best time killer: If you’re looking to waste time during a flight. Or in between breaks at work, or even when a long train is passing by. This is the game for you. You don’t like adds? That’s cool. This game has very few. And it’s only a few bucks to take them off for good. And it’s really easy and takes actual time and thinking about how to spend the money the chickens earn. Top notch gameplay.
  11. [R56] 5/5 · US BEST GAME EVER: Basically 0 adds best game in my opinion really fun for roadtrips or when you bored so many ways to play
  12. [R444] 3/5 · GB Meh game needs rebalancing endgame: Played it for quite some time got to top 1% without spending a dime. It is a good game, the design is good and the gameplay is simple to understand and the ads are not forced, which I love. But in the endgame, or close to it, progression seems to slow down a lot please consider rebalancing the endgame content. Also make contracts easier, as I am spending an awfu
  13. [R84] 1/5 · US Bugs and crashes.: I've never played a game that crashes as often as this one. I'm on an up-to-date iPhone 15 Pro Max. There's no reason for an app to just crash like this. Then the bugs. Rounding errors and the game will use a boost even though I'm no where near the "Activate" button. I'm in the middle of the bar trying to scroll and it will activate random boosts because the dev doesn't care. Tr
  14. [R105] 1/5 · US Crashes upon opening: Just started happening a day after latest update.
  15. [R113] 1/5 · US New update is bugged!: The recent new update doesn’t let me even open the app! Game crashes every time I try to open up the app! I’ve deleted and redownloaded just for it to continue crashing when I open the app! Please fix!
  16. [R123] 1/5 · US Instant Crashes: Game no longer functions. Instantly crashes.
  17. [R120] 3/5 · US Update: Recent update has some glitches.
  18. [R186] 1/5 · US Buggy game: Some of the features in the game stopped working and especially after spending some money on it, I lost interest in it. Support never responded to help me after repeated attempts to reach them.
  19. [R19] 5/5 · US Fun game but takes a lot of grinding: So far this game has been very fun but it is a lot of sitting and waiting to get more money and also you have to completely restart many times to unlock core functions
  20. [R430] 2/5 · GB Great for free periods: Every free period I have I play this stuff I spent £3.99 and that kept me going for about a month and I think that’s fair I think it’d be fair if the price was 3.99 by itself I like how long the grind is but I will say after tier 8 the research page gets randomly expensive but 5/5 for a mobile game
  21. [R489] 3/5 · GB It’s slipping: Egg inc is still a really really fun game even after all these years. There’s a few hiccups now though that weren’t there before that bring it down a few pegs. The gameplay is still exactly the same as before don’t get me wrong. However nowadays once you get to the middle of the game, it becomes a COLOSSAL slog, I’m talking like hours upon hours worth of saving money to buy a single
  22. [R46] 3/5 · US Boring: Boring game to me it’s has so many ads
  23. [R90] 1/5 · US Ads.: Great game, but these Atlas Earth ads are genuinely unbrearable.
  24. [R210] 1/5 · US no good: Ts ahh, everytime i watch an ad it starts lagging and half the time i dont get my reward. time is money
  25. [R348] 1/5 · GB What’s wrong with the ads?: Decent idle game with nice graphics, but the ads so terrible it is not funny. Close buttons so small that you need a microscope. Why does Apple write UI guidelines when developers ignore them with impunity?
  26. [R26] 4/5 · US Fun but expensive 🤑🤑🤑: I really love this game but I’m not willing to spend money on all of the skins and add ons. I would wish it was cheaper.
  27. [R38] 5/5 · US I love this game: I’ve played this game for YEARS and the only problem i have with it is the price of the pro permit, lower the price and the game is absolutely perfect
  28. [R50] 5/5 · US Fun addictive pay to win: This game is super fun but the never ending progression makes it super addictive and if you wanna be good you’ll have to spend couple dollars but still super fun
  29. [R97] 1/5 · US Micro Transactions Galore: Just a cover to add as many ways to charge you $5 as possible
  30. [R347] 1/5 · GB Remove the report button: I was kicked because I was working when they just kick me and hopefully I get my reward still as being max out I can’t do more from my session kick me out for what not cheating it as I can’t leave a contract hint force real contact on it so owner can’t be kicked
  31. [R458] 1/5 · GB Co op system a mess.: Spamming tokens. Kicked for idle despite massive contributions. Been this way for months with no sign of change
  32. [R805] 3/5 · AU Fun but the contracts: I really like the game but the teamwork system is so annoying if I just get eggs and don’t give chicken runs and boots for everyone even though I atleast help a decent amount I get penalised a lot I was almost at AA then shot straight down under A or at high B tier which is really annoying so I think it’s broken at least a little bit
  33. [R909] 1/5 · AU Dev refuses to fix bug: There is a serious bug in the game where more players than the max limit can join a contract. Players have very little agency to kick people, only having the ability to do so after 24 hours of inactivity. This bug has been in the game for easily a year, and instead of fixing it, the dev ACTIVELY PUNISHES players in these contracts. Your only choice is to spend an hour le
  34. [R390] 1/5 · GB Dark Mode App Icon?: This needs to have a dark mode app icon.
  35. [R622] 3/5 · CA Fun, but it is pay to complete: It’s a good way to pat the time, but I’m on the third last egg and you need to start using boosts that you can only buy with golden eggs that cost real money if you want to complete the list of eggs.
  36. [R49] 5/5 · US Game is so good: Doesn't need wifi, and doesn't take 30 minutes to complete so you can play for a long time
  37. [R689] 2/5 · CA Internet is required to play. Terrible change.: I am abroad consistently and don’t have internet most of of the time. The main game can be played internet free aside from contracts which are multiplayer. But end game “Egg of Virtue” requires a constant internet connection. Big bummer and probably won’t touch the game until they resolve it.
