The verdict
The ur-example of mobile idle done charmingly: hatch increasingly absurd eggs, ship them, prestige for Soul Eggs, repeat. Ten years of updates (Dark Mode landed June 2026) and 1.4M+ reviews — a genuine genre landmark.
Hot take
Yes, the boosts are monetized and whales exist — but the co-op contracts are where it quietly became a social game. It's a decade-old idle title people still schedule their week around. That's not an accident.
