Obby Break an Egg

Mission briefing

Smash giant eggs with your pickaxe across floating biomes and free the animals inside. Carry them home past the guardians, hatch them on your farm and earn cash to buy stronger pickaxes. Gain Power, unlock new biomes with tougher eggs and rarer animals, and play online with others.

Field manual

Move with WASD and look with the mouse. Click to swing your pickaxe at an egg until it breaks, then carry what is inside back to your farm and place it with E. Spend cash on pickaxes and upgrades in the shops. On phones use the joystick and the on-screen buttons. Booster pads near the spawn give x2 Speed or x2 Power for a short video.

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.
