鸭蛋Duck Eggs

⠀

鸭蛋Duck Eggs is another disgusting clicker scam game like "banana". Effectively a blockchain/NFT game, but abusing the Steam Marketplace instead of some other blockchain/wallet system... the end result is the same, this isn't a real game, it's just dumped on Steam to scam PC gamers through the Steam Marketplace. It has no value as a serious game, you just click stuff in the hopes an "NFT" marketplace item drops so the developer can get paid for the sale... and of course so the developer can sell ones that he's farmed up himself. So while this looks "free", it's only superficial. The real purpose for this game is for the developer to farm and exploit Steam Inventory items that drop through the game. They can then sell these items in bulk on the Steam Community Marketplace. This kind of Steam abuse, combined with a minimum-viable-product non-game, does no service to gamers whatsoever. This is pollution... it's harmful to everyone. It hurts genuine indie devs, who have to compete with this pollution to get visibility for their sincerely made games. It makes indie devs look bad. It makes it harder for gamers to find those genuinely made games. It's designed to prey on gamers …

I tried playing Duck Eggs. Well, "playing" is a strong word—10 minutes in, and it feels like some version of Hamster Combat, but without any real twists. Instead, there are eggs. Lots of eggs. I’m sitting there, tapping the screen, and every click brings... absolutely nothing special. No gold, no magic, not even the elusive Shadow Egg 🌑 everyone seems to talk about. Just regular eggs, which apparently only matter to my imaginary duck. The duck says, "Help me get home!" And I’m like, "Listen, duck, I don’t even have gas money to get myself home, let alone you." The game has potential, but do I have the patience to see it? For now, it’s more like a mini-simulator of a goal-less clicker player’s life. Rating: "10 minutes of my life" out of 10. Who knows, maybe I’ll come back when I’m in the mood for... something duck-related. 😅

鸭蛋Duck Eggs is one of those very strange desktop games that I found interesting simply because I have not played many experiences quite like it. I get a small duck that can sit on my desktop while gradually producing eggs, turning the whole thing into a mixture of virtual pet, collecting game and trading experiment. I liked the novelty of having something running quietly in the background instead of demanding my full attention. The main loop is extremely simple. I leave the duck running while it generates eggs, then return later to see what I have received. Different eggs have different rarities, so there is a small sense of anticipation whenever I check my collection. I enjoyed this because the game creates a reason to come back without forcing me to constantly interact with it. The desktop pet feature is probably the most appealing part for me. The duck can stay visible without taking over the screen, and I can adjust its size to make it fit more naturally alongside whatever else I am doing. I liked that approach because it makes the game feel more like a little companion than a traditional full screen experience. The collection side also gives the game a little more personali…
