You’ll also notice on the right that your own count will have two numbers -- the current number of eggs you’ve just smashed (“Saved”) and your overall count. Notice too, that the overall number gets updated every so often. I think that also happens with the red egg count, probably at midnight GMT.

So, you know how you can leave up the rewards list and you can see it count each egg you pop? Well, I’ve watched the Red egg counter while popping the “Orange” eggs and the counter never moves for that color? But, of course, I never see any Red eggs

So we’ve done 0.007% of the total needed?

As of right now, 70,762,295 red eggs have been destroyed by the community (use the square button to pull down the menu to find this info out).

I think they’re the ones that look orange in the space. They die with a red flash. I expect there will be “red egg days” in the future. And, perhaps some item that will increase the multiplier. Maybe that’s what the deep-purple egg flaming sword will do.

God, that’s even worse.

I don’t think there actually are any red eggs. Just a guess, but it’s more likely that the red egg count is just a running total of all the eggs collected by Homies up to that point.

oops, you forgot a 9… make it 192 years roughly
I bet we will see a red egg day or two toward the release date of Mercia.

Whoever at Lockwood came up with the goal of 99,999,999,999 egss for the community reward needs a reality check. I don’t think they realize just how big 99 billion truly is. It’s been roughly a week since the space opened up and we barely cracked 100 million. At this rate, the community reward will take 990 weeks to unlock.

I seriously doubt we’ll still be playing Home on our PS3s in 19 years…

Today’s dominant egg was Green, you were right. I bought that rogue suit so it gave you 2 pts per egg, but I still only got to 2,000 out of 5,000 needed before I started getting dizzy and feeling nauseus. LOL.

Great review and I am glad the dominant egg color changes. Today was my first day playing and I got mainly blue ones. I won the pinwheel. It’s cute. I really want the sand castle. I also get dizzy playing the game, but sometimes it’s so hard to stop!

This actually won’t be nearly as tedious as it seems. I was averaging roughly 1,000 eggs per 15-minute segment, so even the reward requiring 10,000 eggs will only take a few tries to get. I believe the final reward will only become available on August 22, when the golden egg hatches. It’s my guess that the flaming sword will be a reward that can be used in the Mercia game.

The video shows the iron fusion logo and 8/22/2012 so i wonder if you have to collect all the rewards by then to collect the final egg and the flaming sword or if that particular egg wont be available until that date. It says a mysterious egg lingers in the shadows, and the Dragon cage is in the Iron Fusion room. So that could mean either the door opens to that area 8/22 and you’ll find it in there, or like egg baron you have to unlock the egg before the set date? to unlock the final reward..Damn Lockwood and their flair for mystery

LOL, very true SealWyf. But don’t feel down about it, you couldn’t have known this would have happened. You’ve actually amazed me with how much detail you could write about such a simple game. You still deserve the kudos for writing a good review.

Indeed. Blue eggs were all over the place last night. If the dominant egg color changes each day, it won’t be quite as impossible to reach those higher totals. (I may take a couple of evenings to earn ten thousand, though.)

This is the hazard of posting a review within hours of when a game opens. It’s oh-so-timely — but you may miss the whole point of it, if that point is time-dependent. Oh well. Guess you can all say I have egg on my face.

Indeed this is the trend, well spotted Bonzo. Today the majority eggs are blue. Yesterday they were yellow, so going by this trend this is what I expect the pattern to be:

Day 1 -- Yellow eggs
Day 2 -- Blue eggs
so (maybe)
Day 3 -- Green eggs
Day 4 -- Purple eggs
Day 5 -- Red eggs

If this is the case, then hitting those prizes won’t be quite as hard. HOWEVER, you’d still need 5,000 green eggs for the first statue or worse 10,000 purple eggs for the “swarm” prize. Even with the X2 outfit on this is still a headache inducing target to hit for anyone. I think I’ll just pop back in about 100 years when the 999,999,999 eggs have been accumulated and claim my *ahem* “rightful” prize lol.

interesting, after midnight london time the majority color changed to blue. I wonder if this is going to be the trend, with a new color per day dominating the eggs. So maybe you wont find that deep purple egg for the flaming sword till the 6th day. this game doesn’t seem so daunting anymore. Still it gives me a headache if i play it too long so I hope it will be around for a while, I really want those dragon statues.

I played this for awhile today until I got too dizzy to continue, all that running around in circles can get to you. I like the idea of it though, like you said simple but much more entertaining than just going to the showcase and finding something. It will take a lot to get the rewards, but they want everyone coming back , and in that they have accomplished their goal I think. Nice review Seal.

I need to get into Home to check this out! After I take care of the Dragon Eggs… I’m going to see what I can do about the Griffon Bacon.

Great article Seal. Thanks for the timely review! I tend to not get on Home the day of update anymore so seeing what is new with in-depth descriptions is pretty helpful!

Great article Seal…as always! Spot on! I played super early this morning and got the sand castle, then relized I no longer needed the abundant yellow eggs and i gave up for now. lol.
