Egg, Inc. vs Flappy Bird
Egg, Inc.
Egg, Inc. is an insanely addictive farm-themed idle game where you’ll need to tap to send your chickens from the hatchery to the coop. There, they will produce eggs over time which you can then use your transport, be it a pickup truck or a simple trike, to sell. As you play, you’ll get to expand your egg farm by, for example, adding more coops, and upgrading your buildings.Like any self-respecting tycoon simulation game, Egg, Inc. also comes with a research system where you can invest the money you’ve made from selling eggs into various upgrades. As the value of your farm increases, you’ll be given the option to sell off your old farm and buy a new one. Although you’ll basically have to start all over, this new farm retains all unlocked epic research as well as other perks.
Despite being an idle game, Egg, Inc. has some elements of active play too. There are drones that you can tap to “shoot” down and steal the package it is carrying, for instance. To further increase your egg farm’s production and efficiency, the game gifts you random boosts from time to time.
Featuring minimalistic aesthetics, Egg, Inc. is one idle game that will keep you glued to the screen for hours on end. The progression in this game doesn’t feel too much like a grind and it’s just plain joy to be able to actually see your egg empire grow!
Flappy Bird
Flappy Bird is one of the most infamous hypercasual games out there. In this game, you need to help the flappy bird make its way through the sky that, for some reason, is covered in green pipes that resemble the ones in the iconic arcade-platformer, Mario.The game was designed to be insanely-easy to pick up - after all, you only need to tap or click to keep the bird afloat. However, playing the game can literally drive you insane with frustration because of how difficult it is. Needless to say, you'll see the "game over" screen a lot more than you'd like to within the couple of minutes you spent in the game... and that's a fact.
Flappy Bird, along with multiple of popular mobile games, helped paved the way for an entirely new genre of games to emerge. The game is definitely more than the hundreds of memes it gave rise to.
