## About The MachinEGG

You start by hand: buy a chicken, feed it, collect the eggs and carry them to market. Profits unlock machines that take over each step of the chain, and the operation grows from a single hen into a sprawling underground egg factory.

After the normal mode there's a speedrun mode, two replayable handicap challenges and an endless mode for players who want to keep optimizing. It's a good pick for incremental fans who want a complete arc in one sitting rather than a game that runs for weeks.
