It’s been officially determined Eggony is not the greatest game ever

This went without fanfare, but I decided to finish off Eggony once and for all a little while back. The final showdown with Benedict was added for level 7.

Yesterday, I got tired with actual work, and decided to upload Eggony to Kongregate to receive the expected criticism. People seemed to like the originality, but the implementation needed work. Most specifically, level 1 is not very interesting, and I think a lot of people lost interest with the weak opening.

    Wow you’ve got guts, uploading Eggony onto Kongregate. What’s your favorite list of Kongregate games. My current favorite is Mastermind World Conqueror.

    Doesn’t take much guts, especially as I’m anonymous. Have you seen some of the garbage people put up? (Here’s one example.) Compared to that, Eggony is a masterpiece.

    Off the top of my head, I liked Infectonator, Hero’s Arms, and Frantic.

    I love Infectionator! My favorite is the World Conquest version where you turn the world into zombies, one region at a time.

    Yes! And you can get “Ronald McDonald”, “Colonel Sanders”, “M.J.” as hero zombies. Except they slightly changed the names to protect themselves.

    M.J’s my favorite because of the music. “Rambo” is the most useful. It’s so nice to hear multiple screams of terror as your zombies infect everyone in sight.

    I like mightybaldking’s comment:

    “This is the most fendippitous game ever! It comes from the brundlesphere!”

    Yeah, what he said.

      You know, I thought the Fendippitous Eggmen would be a great step forward for eggish rights. But it was just some dumb video with a human baby.

    So if the mascot is so evil, why hasn’t he started his own chess shirt company called ‘Middlegame’?

      It’s coming. The first shirt will have a picture all of the chess world champions (all male) with the title “CHESS = SEXIST”

      And if it weren’t for that guy Anand, I would have been able to do a “CHESS = RACIST” shirt too.

    So far Eggony has earned me $1.14. Guess I’m not quitting my day job.

    How did you get $1.14 from Eggony?

      Kongregate gives developers a fraction of the ad revenue when an ad is displayed on one of their games.

        Does that mean someone actually displayed an ad on Eggony?

          Yes, there’s a chance for any game to show ads. It’s not like the advertiser was like “OMG look at that game, I really want my ad on Eggony!!!!”
