Open Playtest Egg-stension!

[h3]Hello Yolkfolk![/h3]

Thank you to everyone who played the public playtest over the Easter break - we've had a blast watching you through joy, pain and elation!

"Maybe we should keep the playtest open a bit longer?" said Piotr.

Piotr has a point.

So for those who enjoyed playing Egging On but wished they could play again, or for those who maybe didn't get a chance to try it out over the weekend; we've decided to extend the public playtest by 48 hours!

The playtest will now continue to be available to access, play and stream until Thursday 24th April 15.00 BST!

We've been blown away by all the support over the last few days - thank you to everyone who's played or covered Egging On during the Easter break!

If you would like to share your playtest feedback, and chat directly with us, don't forget to join our Discord!

Happy rolling!

Limited-Time Easter Open Playtest!

In celebration of the Easter holiday break, we're excited to announce that we're making available a streamable limited-time open playtest!

From now until Monday 21st April 15.00 BST, you'll be able to have a crack at the Hen House & Farm levels, and we've also included a special Easter Egg shell for you to play with!



In case you missed the news as well, we announced yesterday that we've teamed up with the wonderful people at IndieArk to help create even better egg-sperience for you all!

As always, thank you for your support! Don't forget to wishlist Egging On on Steam, and join our Discord to share your feedback and chat directly with us!
