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.
Eggcelerate! to the North Pole was originally created as an eggspansion to bring egg racing on snow and ice for Easter 2022. Meant to be just a few extra features and tracks, the eggspansion turned into a whole new eggsperience with collectable snowmen, new physics and a whole new world to eggsplore! In November 2022 the eggspansion was lifted into a full sequel of the Eggcelerate! series.
