Egg Escape Tycoon

Mission briefing

Egg Escape Tycoon is a colorful blocky tycoon game where you sneak into guarded biomes, steal eggs from the animal guards and race them back to your own base. Plant eggs, hatch cute pets of different sizes and rarities, earn passive income, train your speed on the treadmill, unlock trails and rebirth for bigger multipliers. Play with up to 4 players in the same world, but watch the clock: when night falls the biomes lock.

Field manual

Steal an egg from a biome nest and bring it back to your base before the guards catch you. Plant eggs in your base to hatch pets that earn coins every second. Use coins in the shops, train speed on the treadmill and rebirth for multipliers. Desktop: WASD to move, Space to jump, E/F to interact, hold right mouse to turn the camera. Mobile: joystick to move, drag to look, Jump and Hand buttons to act.

Launch orders: press Launch mission above and the game loads on this page itself — nothing downloads and no form stands between you and the first move. It is designed for a landscape (wide) screen and takes its orders from mouse, keyboard or touch, depending on the mission. It is built wide, for a landscape screen — rotate a phone sideways, or give it a tablet or monitor to stretch out on. If it offers a fullscreen control, use it — a fight this size deserves the whole screen.

Field notes for multiplayer operations

• The first match against strangers is tuition. You are not there to win it; you are there to learn the map, the pacing and what the regulars do that the tutorial never mentioned.
• Ping and position beat raw aim. A stable connection and a sensible place to stand will win you more rounds than any sensitivity setting ever published.
• Rematch the player who beat you cleanly. Queues are random, but lessons are not — the opponent who outplayed you is a free coach for exactly the skill you are missing.
