History

The idea for Eggcelerate! was conceptualized during LudumDare 46 in April 2020 and proved very entertaining. The 48 hour prototype was ranked in the top 1% for fun (12th of 1383) which led to building the full version for an Easter release in 2021. Eggcelerate! was created by a single developer with some assets provided by a live-stream community and a few freelancers.
