Egg, Inc is an idle clicker game [1] developed and published by American studio Auxbrain Inc [2] on Android and iOS devices. [3] The game takes place in a future in which eggs unlock the secrets of the universe. [4] The main objective in the game is to make the most profitable egg farm. [5]
The UI features a size-adjustable red button with a chicken on it. When the button is pressed or held, chickens are released and therefore, money is made from their eggs that they produce. [6] This money can be used to further upgrade the egg farm by doing lab research which can increase the value of the eggs, the speed at which they are produced, and the size of the player's distribution fleet. [6] To increase the profitability of the farm, the player can construct bigger spaces (called hen houses [7] ) to house more chickens, buy better vehicles to transport more eggs and build more grain silos to allow the farm to run by itself for longer periods of time. [6] Alongside common research which is only purchasable with in-game money, players can perform epic research which is only purchasable with golden eggs. Epic research is permanent, meaning it will never reset even if the player prestiges or upgrades their egg. [8] Epic research exclusively allows players to increase the boost of soul eggs or eggs of prophecy, as well as permanently decrease the price of hen houses and vehicles. [9] Players can also earn in-game currency by watching advertisement videos. [10] Every few minutes, a white truck will come by and drop off a package containing money (the value of which is scaled up as the farm value increases) or golden eggs. [9] Additionally, a drone will fly across the screen on occasion. If the player taps on the drone, it will drop to the ground and reward the player with either money or golden eggs. [6] [7] [9] When the player's farm value reaches a certain threshold, the player can upgrade to a new egg, restarting, but with each egg selling for a higher base price (except for the Enlightenment egg). Later egg types, trucks, and hen houses are themed as being futuristic.
Golden eggs are the premium currency; while they can be earned by playing, they can also be bought with real money, and they do not reset when upgrading the egg type or prestiging. [4] With the aforementioned currency, the player can either buy temporary power-ups, like unlimited chickens when you tap for ten minutes or double revenue for a starting 2 hours, or can get epic research, which is used to upgrade other aspects, such as the chance of getting a rare (elite) drone, or increasing the amount of time for double revenue.
There is also an option to "prestige". This sends the player back to the first egg, losing all cash and progress, but keeping golden eggs, soul eggs, eggs of prophecy, epic research, and the pro permit (if purchased). [5] However, when the player prestiges, they earn soul eggs that boost egg values by a certain percentage. [11] The number of soul eggs earned in a prestige is based on value of the farm.
Gamezebo gave the game 4 out of 5 stars praising the game as being "satisfying to say the least", "ideal for short or long bursts of gaming" and "slow burning soon turns into compelling" while criticizing it as "ultimately a little pointless" and being a little plain. [1]
Poultry are domesticated birds kept by humans for the purpose of harvesting animal products such as meat, eggs or feathers. The practice of raising poultry is known as poultry farming. These birds are most typically members of the superorder Galloanserae (fowl), especially the order Galliformes. The term also includes waterfowls of the family Anatidae but does not include wild birds hunted for food known as game or quarry.
The chicken is a large and round short-winged bird, domesticated from the red junglefowl of Southeast Asia around 8,000 years ago. Most chickens are raised for food, providing meat and eggs; others are kept as pets or for cockfighting.
Debeaking, beak trimming, or beak conditioning, is the partial removal of the beak of poultry, especially layer hens and turkeys, although it may also be performed on quail and ducks. Most commonly, the beak is shortened permanently, although regrowth can occur. The trimmed lower beak is somewhat longer than the upper beak. A similar but separate practice, usually performed by an avian veterinarian or an experienced birdkeeper, involves clipping, filing or sanding the beaks of captive birds for health purposes – in order to correct or temporarily to alleviate overgrowths or deformities and better allow the bird to go about its normal feeding and preening activities. Amongst raptor-keepers, this practice is commonly known as "coping".
Story of Seasons, known in Japan as Bokujō Monogatari and formerly known as Harvest Moon, is an agricultural farming life simulation video game series created by Yasuhiro Wada and developed by Victor Interactive Software.

Free-range eggs are eggs produced from birds that may be permitted outdoors. The term "free-range" may be used differently depending on the country and the relevant laws, and is not regulated in many areas.
Free range denotes a method of farming husbandry where the animals, for at least part of the day, can roam freely outdoors, rather than being confined in an enclosure for 24 hours each day. On many farms, the outdoors ranging area is fenced, thereby technically making this an enclosure, however, free range systems usually offer the opportunity for the extensive locomotion and sunlight that is otherwise prevented by indoor housing systems. Free range may apply to meat, eggs or dairy farming.
Harvest Moon 3 GBC is a farm simulation video game for the Game Boy Color developed and published by Victor Interactive Software, part of the long-running Story of Seasons series of video games. The game was released for the Nintendo 3DS via Virtual Console in North America on December 11, 2014.

Poultry farming is the form of animal husbandry which raises domesticated birds such as chickens, ducks, turkeys and geese to produce meat or eggs for food. Poultry – mostly chickens – are farmed in great numbers. More than 60 billion chickens are killed for consumption annually. Chickens raised for eggs are known as layers, while chickens raised for meat are called broilers.

Cookie Clicker is a 2013 incremental game created by French programmer Julien "Orteil" Thiennot. The user initially clicks on a big cookie on the screen, earning a single cookie per click. They can then use their earned cookies to purchase assets such as "cursors" and other "buildings" that automatically produce cookies. Upgrades are also available and can improve the efficiency of clicks and buildings, among many other mechanics that allow the user to earn cookies in different ways. The game lacks a conventional ending.
Incremental games, also known as clicker games, clicking games or tap games, are video games whose gameplay consists of the player performing simple actions such as clicking on the screen repeatedly. This "grinding" earns the player in-game currency which can be used to increase the rate of currency acquisition. In some games, even the clicking becomes unnecessary at some point, as the game plays itself, including in the player's absence; such games are called idle games.
