I think the player shouldn’t have to sit for several rounds waiting for
something to come out, so increasing the speed would probably be a good idea.
The sorting really isn't that hard. The winning of the game seems to be out of
the players hands.
The key I think is that the player needs to fee in control of winning or
losing. Sorting eggs isn't hard, so just waiting for luck to see if you win or
not doesn't really sit well.
The minigames that feature the player moe in control of their fate are the
river, troll cave and train. These force the player to think and do things that
might or might not work....but the choice is in their hands.
The pirate one is little more luck then player. It all depends on if the
random placed treasure chests are found, and that means digging in hopes to
find them. There is no real pattern to it. You either get lucky or you don’t
which gets frustrating.
I am not really sure how toincrease that fun factor for the eggs.
I mean, don’t get me wrong. The ideas and mechanics are really ingenious. I
enjoy just playing that and going "Wow, that is neat how he did that".
It just takes a little tweaking.
Maybe there is few examples that might help...
There was one sighted game way back in the day called tapper. Basically, you
had several long bar counters.
People would show up and demand root beer. So you would have to go up and down
the at the ends of these bars and slide mugs of root beer down the counters to
the customers. Then those customers would drink ands lide the mugs back .
Th player had to catch the empty mugs before they fell off the counters, since
he was at the end of allthe tables. The thing was, that eventually it got so
ectic and fast that it became impossible to grab all the mugs, and inevitably
you would lose mugs which cost money.
So maybe a similar bent could be had with the eggs? I m not sure how to
simulate that kind of play but you get were the actual challenge is there?

I just havnt put in those sounds yet.
Do you think I should shorten the egg sorter time limit and increase the
number of points you get from sorting a egg properly?

The chicken egg sorter is actually really just a neat concept overall.
Very imaginative.
I did find it got tedious though after a while, and after about 25 points
worth of eggs, I was making plans to throw them at the chickens, or whatever
mysterious egg machine thing that resides behind the wall, Lol.
There was also a period of time where no eggs came out at all, several rounds
in fact. Maybe the chickens were taking a break? Grin.
I haven’t really played the others yet. The egg one just grabbed my
attention....I will have time tomorrow to check those out because the magnet
thing sounds interesting.
