rng often rewards safe play over risky play at a high level imo, i don't think this is something that you can shy away from it's just how the systems works. like for example the 1 second rule where the egg breaks, even if you expanded it further to 3 seconds, the ideal play would just be doing it for 3.1 seconds to minimize as much risk.
Thanks for the comment! I agree that RNG systems incentivise safe play, but I think Egg Squeeze still does a good job overall to keep the player trying for close calls, in large part due to how rewarding and satisfying it is to get as close as you can. I don't think that the change I suggested is necessarily going to make Egg Squeeze shy away from its RNG components, it would just help to stop the player from playing completely mindlessly. I get that getting just above three seconds repeatedly is still just as mindless, but taking on at least a little risk can incentivise the player to be even riskier in the long run, sort of a "I need to risk at least a little, so maybe I should go all in and see what happens!" Anything the game can do to incentivise a player to play its game is a win in my book. To be honest, it isn't really a big deal either way. The game isn't really trying to hold the players attention for a long time or anything, and a player ideally wouldn't know any of this information going in in the first place anyways lol. Playing blind with no way to discover a method to repeatedly avoid breakage would be better, I think, but it's minor if anything. Thanks again!
@@PomWasAlreadyTaken the way i'd go about it is making the lower cap for egg breaking actually instant, and the player could choose to discard an egg before even squeezing it and pick another one, again RNG would still incentivise safety, but squeezing the egg at all would be a (necessary) risk.
Hmm, I think this might be better, yeah. Adding an additional three seconds onto a squeeze adds up over time, so maybe it's best to just cut out the fat and have any amount of time squeezing be risky. Although, this could confuse new players when they hold to squeeze and break an egg almost instantly. Advantages and drawbacks, I suppose. Maybe something like 1 second instead of three would be a nice middle ground? Again, super minor difference between what the game is now and what we're suggesting, but I like talking about minutia so this is enjoyable lol
Instant subscribe.
Thanks!
I take every broken egg personally
Honestly, the best way to play the game.

What kind of egg are we squeezing?
Any kind you like!
