BOWLING GREEN, Kentucky – March 9, 2023 – YOLKED - The Egg Game, the sadistic yet eggs-hilarating platforming adventure developed by HardBoiled Studios and published by Hitcents, scrambles its way out of Early Access to version 1.0 on Windows PC and macOS via Steam with a host of new content on Thursday, April 6, 2023. Nintendo Switch players will join the eggs-citing mayhem later in 2023.
Awake as a failed eggs-periment in the lab of a mad scientist assembling an army of mutant eggs for a nefarious plan. Escape an impending demise and explore every peril-filled room of his not-so-ordinary home including the lab, attic, kitchen, and garden. Join hundreds of soon-to-be chicks on an egg-lectrifying adventure soon to leave Early Access with new features, collectibles, a never-before-seen level, and the long-awaited ending reveal.
Grab, swing, and climb through physics-based levels as a bouncing two-armed egg. Leap out of the way from obstacles including ketchup, spatulas, darts, and scissors, carefully plotting every move, as everyday household items aren’t the only threat. Watch out for bombs and fire torches, and don’t assume anyone is a friend, as bees, spiders, and piranhas are all looking forward to an egg take down.
Unlock more than 80+ cosmetic skins including Devil, Pineapple, Football, and Cactus costumes by completing achievements and exploring every nook and cranny of each rage-inducing environment. Master controls to escape the narrowest crack, test speedrunning skills, and climb the leaderboards to become the fastest egg in the world. Uncover the secrets behind the scientist’s plans, your creation, and why he’s so keen on cracking you once and for all.
“YOLKED started as a fun class project when we were college students,” said Hazel Wong, Game Developer and Co-Founder, HardBoiled Studios. “Back then, our only goal was to win first place since none of us had any game development experience, so it’s unbelievable to think we’re now published on Steam and soon to be on Nintendo. It’s been three years since we first started on this journey, and cannot wait to see where else it will take us!”
YOLKED -The Egg Game eggsits Steam Early Access for a full release on Windows PC on Thursday, April 6, 2023, for $6.99 USD. It will support English, Spanish, French, German, Brazilian Portuguese, and Simplified Chinese languages.
