Egg Catch Tycoon: A Cozy Idle Egg-Hatching Game Lands on iOS

I wanted an idle collector that never makes you feel guilty for closing the app. Dew keeps building in your nest whether you’re playing or not, and there’s no penalty for staying away, so the pace is entirely yours to set.

I built this because I wanted a collector game I could open for two minutes on a commute without feeling behind. Offline progress and no loss conditions were the two things I designed around from day one. The app, originally named 에그 캐치 타이쿤 in Korean, started as exactly that kind of personal itch.

Features

Place an egg in your nest and tap it awake. Different egg types lean toward different friends: grass eggs favor common ones, moonlight eggs favor rare ones, and three taps crack the shell open.
Feed your friends to grow them. Once they’re fully grown, they reach a fork where their next form is decided, and the food you choose shifts the odds toward rarer outcomes. Star candy pushes those odds further.
Dew keeps accumulating even when the app is closed. Come back and you’re paid out for the time you were away, up to eight hours, with no stamina loss and no friend ever leaving.
Every friend you meet stays logged in your collection book. Filling it promotes your nest for stardust, which buys permanent upgrades to dew production, rare-outcome odds, and nest space, all of which carry over through every promotion.
Daily check-ins hand out dew, and finishing simple daily tasks like feeding or evolving a friend earns stardust. Keep an eye out for the golden dew drops that form in the nest too.

Ads are opt-in only, rewarded videos you choose to watch, with no banners and nothing interrupting play. The shop sells conveniences like double dew production, extra nest slots, and bundles of stardust or star candy, but every one of the 30 friends is reachable without spending a cent.

This is for anyone who likes the slow satisfaction of a collection filling in, but doesn’t want a second job managing it. If you like the ritual of cracking an egg and seeing what hatches, and want progress that keeps happening whether or not you’re looking at your phone, this fits that itch. There’s no account to make and no leaderboard to chase; everything lives on your device, at your pace.
