CHANGELOG

What changed on the egg, newest first. Built by one person, in the open.

2026-09-22

YOUR DOT GETS A SHAPE, AND YOUR TAPS GET A SHOP

  • ›A fourth thing to wear: the shape of your dot on the ring. Disc, ring, diamond, hex, star, eclipse — it cuts the outline itself instead of painting light around it. It is worn with an effect, a trail and a frame, not instead of them.
  • ›This is the answer to a complaint from the top of the board, and it was a fair one: no skin on the ring really stood out, so the season pass was not worth buying. The file agreed — the only look that moved was one of the free ones, while the dearest thing in the shop was a shadow. A dot is ten pixels across. At that size a colour is a smudge and a glow is a smudge, and the one thing that reads is the outline. So the outline is what the pass and the shop buy now.
  • ›The looks that were already paid for were redrawn, not renamed. Lightning strikes on a beat instead of glowing. Flames flicker. Confetti turns. Halo puts a moon in orbit. Ribbon waves. Gold has a sheen that crosses it. Every one of them still reads with motion switched off, for anyone who asked their device for less of it.
  • ›The season pass opens six looks instead of four, at tiers 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30. Nothing already earned was taken back: every free look is where it was, and the free track keeps a shape of its own.
  • ›Taps buy something other than a level. Under the counter there is a shop: 6,000 taps put a look from the season pass on your dot until the egg breaks, 12,000 one from the shop. It comes out of the same taps as the next level, so it is a choice and not a bonus — which is the point. The ladder quadruples, so past the fifth level a whole night of tapping was buying nothing at all; now an hour of it always shows on the ring. Asked for in the chat, in as many words: a shop for the taps you farm.
  • ›What you rent goes with the egg. It is not added to your nest and it does not touch your feathers or your season: the looks that are free with feathers stay earned, and a look bought with money is still the one you keep on every egg. And what a machine taps for is taken back — a slow lane now takes the look with the level.
  • ›Under the counter, the boost line says both numbers now. A tap adds 7 to the egg and banks 1 towards the next level — which was true before and impossible to read, and a player had to work it out from his own counter to ask about it.

2026-09-21

EGG #2 OPENS, AND YOUR TAPS BUY BOOSTS

  • ›Tap boosts. Every tap you make on the egg is kept, and you can spend those taps under the counter on an upgrade: 200 taps and each of your taps adds +2 instead of +1, 800 more and it adds +3, then 3,200 for +4, and so on: every level costs four times the one before. You keep the level until the egg breaks. It is free and it stays free: the only currency is your own taps on this egg, nothing here is sold, and nothing bought elsewhere adds to a tap on an egg with a gift.
  • ›A boosted tap is a real tap. It moves the counter, it counts on the boards, and it can be the one that lands on the hidden number. So the taps made a long way from the number are not wasted: they are what you will be hitting with when it matters. The ladder is gentle on purpose. A thousand taps make +3, ten thousand +4, a hundred thousand +6: whoever arrives late is behind, not out. A new egg starts everyone at +1. Taps a machine makes earn nothing.
  • ›A free +1 from the sponsor. Under the counter, one click on the link of the egg's sponsor gives you +1 per tap until the egg breaks. Once: a second click adds nothing. It goes on top of whatever level you have bought, it costs nothing, and it is there for everyone. The sponsor pays for the gift; this is how you say thanks.
  • ›The golden minute counts double on the egg now, for everybody. It used to double the hour's ranking only. For that one minute a plain tap adds two and a +5 tap adds ten, whoever you are. It has a banner over the egg, with its seconds and a bar that runs down, and it is announced thirty seconds ahead. It also reaches a page that was already open: until today only a page loaded during the minute knew about it, so most of the room never saw one.
  • ›A boost belongs to you, not to the screen you were holding. Sign in on a laptop after an evening on your phone and your level and your taps come with you, counted together. Until now the second screen started from nothing, which on an egg whose whole point is farming meant losing your evening. Reported in the chat, fixed the same morning.
  • ›Autoclickers, and a wrong done to the fastest players. A script going round the forums no longer works on the page, and the egg now reads the schedule behind the taps rather than the gaps between them, which a network scrambles and a script cannot hide. A minute of tapping without your pointer moving a single pixel is a slow lane: a hand drifts, adjusts, scrolls — an autoclicker does not. And nothing a machine taps earns a boost level — a lane takes back what it bought.
  • ›The other half of that: hitting the twelve-a-second ceiling no longer counts against you. Tapping faster than the cap allows was quietly scoring the keenest players as machines, which held their win back for a person to check. The ceiling refuses the tap; that is the whole of it. What gets a hand slowed is its cadence, its schedule and its pixel, never how badly it wants to win.
  • ›Your own speed, under the counter, beside the room’s. Taps a second, and what they are worth on the egg when a boost or the golden minute makes the two differ. Asked for in the chat, from a phone, where finding your own line in the ranking while tapping is not practical.
  • ›A boost shows. The leaderboard puts +2, +4, +6 beside the name, the hand wears a halo on the ring around the egg, your own shell glows, and a boosted tap from anyone in the room strikes the egg as a bolt.
  • ›The rules and the règlement say all of this (article 4 ter), dated 21 September. What has not changed: nothing that can be bought adds to a tap on an egg with a gift.
  • ›A new egg starts with clean boards. Hands, countries and teams go back to zero the second it opens, for the hour as well as for the egg, and the page moves to "this egg" by itself.
  • ›The egg is bigger and the header is two thin lines. The left column no longer scrolls on a small laptop. Countries and teams show every line, not the first six, and their lists scroll, as the hands list does again: the wheel was being swallowed by a list with nothing left to scroll.
  • ›In the chat, a reply goes to the channel of the person you are answering, even when you read every language at once. It used to land in your own, where they never saw it.
  • ›A crude name is refused when you type it, accents, digits for letters and spaces included. "Today's gift" says before its button that it is kept for the evening egg. And sponsors now see the clicks on their link from the home page too, in their report and on the public reach figures.

2026-09-17

THE EVENING EGG BECOMES THE CLICKER IT SAYS IT IS

  • ›On the evening egg a tap now moves the counter by its weight. A level 8 hand moves it eight, a level 500 hand moves it five hundred — so the number climbs faster under the thumb that paid, and that hand is likelier to be the one that breaks it. Until today the boards were weighted and the counter was not, which put 11,536 next to a hand on an egg whose counter said 1,295: two numbers on one screen describing different games.
  • ›It wins nothing, and that is why it is allowed. The evening egg carries no gift and can never carry one; breaking it pays a line in the Hall of Fame, a title and a shell, and not one thing that leaves the site. On the egg with the gift nothing changes and nothing may: one click per tap, for everyone, whatever they bought, and nothing that gives an advantage is even on sale while one stands.
  • ›A ghost hand moves that counter too. Buy the hours, go to sleep, and your stand-in taps the evening egg with your Power — so a ghost can be the hand that breaks it and you can wake up in the Hall of Fame. It still never taps an egg carrying a gift, and none of its hours are spent on one.
  • ›The flags floating over the shell are the countries tapping right now, not the hour’s totals. Somebody who tapped forty minutes ago and left kept appearing over your egg, and a paying hand put up eight flags for one tap. The boards stay weighted — that is what Power is for — but a flag is a tap.
  • ›The confetti was running at half speed in battery saver, and the counter with it. Both were counted in frames rather than in time, so a screen at 30 Hz played the whole game in slow motion. They now move at the same speed on every device. The shards other people’s taps threw out of the shell are gone, and so is the low hum behind the room: the taps of the room are still drawn, as taps.

2026-09-16

TWO SORTS OF EGG, AND SPONSOR LOGOS

  • ›The evening egg is a clicking game and says so. Nothing of value is won on it — you play it to be the hand that breaks it and to sit at the top of its boards — and whoever breaks it goes into the Hall of Fame beside every other break, with the Breaker title and a shell. Power levels are sold again there, in three packs, alongside the one given free every day; on an egg with a gift they are not sold at all, and the shop does not show them.
  • ›A level weighs on two boards and no others: the hour’s and the round’s. Never on the counter — a tap is one click on every egg there has ever been — and a ghost hand has never been able to break anything. The rules and the règlement said otherwise for a day; they were wrong and they are fixed.
  • ›There are two sorts of egg now. A grand egg carries the gift: every tap weighs one, in the counter and in every ranking, whoever lands it and whatever they own — and while one stands, nothing that gives an advantage is on sale at all. The evening egg carries no gift and can never carry one; that is where Power weighs and a ghost hand taps.
  • ›Nothing anyone has bought is lost or reset. A level and the hours in a ghost’s bank stay on the account for good, and the hours do not run down while a grand egg stands: not a minute of what was paid for is spent on an egg a ghost is not allowed on. They wait, whole, for the evening egg.
  • ›The gift is shown from the first tap instead of being kept back for the break. On an egg nobody can buy their way at, what is at stake belongs in the open before anyone spends an evening on it. The hidden number is still hidden — that is the one secret this game keeps.
  • ›The rules, the règlement and the terms say all of it plainly: on an egg with a gift no purchase improves the odds and no advantage is even offered for sale; on the evening egg the only thing the breaker wins is their name on the site, a title and a shell — nothing transferable, nothing convertible.
  • ›The nest and the shop have been taken apart and put back in order. What was promised and not delivered is gone: the invite block paid nobody, the season pass opened four looks and said thirty, and a name bought between two eggs landed on the egg that had just broken. The gift of the day is at the top of the shop now, where the one free thing belongs, and the nest leads with what you keep — your look, your shells — instead of eighteen achievements you do not have yet.
  • ›Sponsors can add their logo. It goes up with the name, the second the payment lands, on the egg, the break screen and the share card — no wait for a review. Anything that should not be on the egg is taken down from the console instead, which is the same power the other way round.
  • ›The rules, the règlement and the terms of sale say the same thing everywhere now: only sponsor packages add to the prize, a few looks are only in the shop, the next egg opens at an announced time, a purchase not delivered as described is refunded, and a community host sees their own winner's email to send the prize. Colours are listed in the terms.
  • ›Every page around the egg is laid out for a wide screen: the rules, the terms and the notices list their sections down the side, the numbers, the Hall of Fame, the nations, the teams and the achievements fill the width in columns, and a round's page shows the open egg beside its result. On a phone nothing changes.
  • ›Between two eggs the pages say so instead of showing zeros: the hands that carried the last egg, the date the next one opens, and boards that say they restart with it. Dates are in English everywhere, whatever the browser's language.
  • ›The share card gives a long brand name and its logo room, and the sponsor page opens on the card itself, with what the last egg really drew.

2026-09-15

ACHIEVEMENTS, AND PEOPLE ONLY NEAR THE BREAK

  • ›Achievements are public. Eighteen of them, from First shell to Top of the season, earned by playing and never sold. The achievements page shows how many players hold each one, who earned one last and the biggest collections; the rare ones are announced to the room the moment they land; and you can wear one next to your name in the chat and the lists, from your nest.
  • ›Your nest has a public page to share: your achievements, your shells, your best streak. It shows the name you wear and nothing else about you.
  • ›Centurion counts your own taps now, Power left out: a multiplier does not make a centurion. Podium and gold shell need an egg with a crowd behind it.
  • ›From the bottom of the announced range, when any tap could break the egg, a tap counts on it only from a hand that passed Cloudflare's human check within the hour. Most of the time there is nothing to do but wait a second. A connection caught cheating that day is asked the same, earlier. Taps at a machine's cadence still move the counter but earn nothing: no ranking, no feathers, no shell.
  • ›The slow lane lifts with the human check three times a day at most. IPv6 connections count by /64 for every limit.
  • ›The season pass is on sale the week before a season opens, ready at the opening.
  • ›Sponsors get a private report of their round: people who saw it, tapped it, clicked their link, and from where. Their links go out through the game, which counts them.

2026-09-06

THE GHOST HAND

  • ›On the egg every tap counts one, from now on. Power weighs your taps in the hour's ranking (×2, ×3, ...) and no longer on the counter; the ghost hand keeps your line moving and never touches the egg. Nothing that can be bought changes whose tap lands on the number: that is decided by hands alone.
  • ›Today's gift: every account can take one level and one ghost hour a day, free, in the Power panel. Power and ghost hours are given away as well as sold; buying them is for people who do not want to wait.
  • ›Two more tells for the slow lane, found by the lane itself: twelve thousand taps in twenty minutes without a two-second breath, and forty thousand in two hours without a minute away. A hand breathes; a clicker does not, however random its rhythm.
  • ›Colours: for $1.99, once, the hue of your dot and your name is yours to pick, on every device signed in on the account. Supporter: for $4.99 your name goes under the sponsor in the footer while the egg stands, and on the round's page for good. The shout comes in an hour for $2.99. At night, a signed-in person without a ghost is told once that the first hour is free. None of it touches the egg.
  • ›Reserved names: signed in, the name you pick is yours. Nobody else can wear it, nor a lookalike ("him.", "HIM", "him 🥚"), it shows a ✓ next to it, and anyone who had it goes back to their pseudonym. One per account; picking another releases the first. A shout cannot carry a link.
  • ›Guess the number: under the counter, a whole number in the announced range, free, one per person, the last one counts. Everyone's guesses are public, lowest first, one tap away; never ranked before the break, since the number is secret. At the break the closest names go on the round's page with how far off they were. Bragging rights only, no prize.
  • ›The egg board shows clicks per second too, like the hour's. The chat has been archived line by line since the 5th, so a round can be read back.
  • ›The shout: for $0.99, a few words rise from your dot on the egg on every one of your taps, for ten minutes, for everyone to read. Cosmetic, moderated like a name. Under the counter, the gift now says what it is worth at least.
  • ›Two boards for the top hands: "last 60 min", the race, and "this egg", the trace since the egg went up, frozen at the break and carved on the round's page with the hand that carried it first. The egg's board starts from this deploy; the hour before it was kept only as an hour. No prize is ever attached to a ranking.
  • ›The paperwork: a legal notice, terms of sale, and the rules as a dated règlement in French, linked from the footer. The rules now say who runs the game, that no purchase is necessary, that prizes and purchases are for people 18 or over or with a parent's agreement, and what a prize is worth at least. The "could be a MacBook" line under the counter is gone.
  • ›Leave a ghost hand when you go: for the hours you buy, it taps for you, one tap every two seconds, with your Power, under your name. Hollow dot on the egg, 👻 by your name, the time left next to it.
  • ›Every icon now explains itself when hovered or tapped: the snail, the ghost, the Power bolt, the tapping dot, and the dots around the egg. A ghost's bubble says how long it has left and whether it is tapping or resting behind its person's own hand.
  • ›Ghosts do not tap in one beat any more: each has its own moment in the two seconds. A little 👻 rises from the dot on every ghost tap.
  • ›One person, one line: an account signed in on several devices or cookies is a single line of the hour, a single dot on the ring, a single rank.
  • ›The dots around the egg keep apart from each other, and the ring follows the shell at the bottom.
  • ›Sharing carries your invite link from the first second of a visit. The 👻 sits on every chat line of a person with a ghost, and is in the emoji bar.
  • ›The chat box no longer zooms the page on a phone.
  • ›Asked in the chat, done: the flag next to each name in the top list, and the time on every chat line.
  • ›The page paces taps at the same twelve a second the server accepts (it held them to eight): a fast two-thumb burst no longer stalls for a moment and breaks the streak.
  • ›On a phone, the chase: the three hands just ahead of you and your own line sit right under the counter, moving as you tap, with the gap to the hand in front. The ceiling and the gift line move below the Power button. Nothing goes between the egg and the chase from now on.
  • ›The top list says "last 60 min": it is a rolling window, minute by minute, not a reset on the hour. Your own line reads the list, so the two numbers agree.
  • ›The Power button says what it sells: "tap ×2 · first level free", then "×4 · next level ×5 · $1.99". Under it, one line for the moment: at night the ghost hand, before your first level what ×2 would have made of your clicks, otherwise how many hands ahead of you have Power.
  • ›Levels add, they do not multiply: the packs now say the multiplier you would end up with. The hour rolls minute by minute instead of in five-minute steps, so a heavy hand no longer loses thousands of clicks at once.
  • ›Your name can be changed right above the chat box, where it is used: "you write as sly muffin 38 · pick a name". The line by the top list stays, with a pencil so it reads as something you can tap.
  • ›A fast hand is no longer slowed: a thousand taps in five minutes at a human evenness marks the win for review instead of a slow lane. Three phone players had been slowed by that line in one morning; the slow lane is for machine cadences only.
  • ›Nations: every click carries the flag of the country it came from. A strip above the top hands shows who is carrying the egg this hour and on this egg, your own flag picked out; the share button turns into a provocation to your country when another one leads.
  • ›A /nations page: the hour, the egg and the last days per country. A link shared from a country unfurls as that country's board, with the gap to the leader on the card.
  • ›Under the counter: it breaks before 10,000,000. The odds sentence that was there for an hour is gone.
  • ›The ghost hand now starts at one hour for $1.99, and a third cadence tell catches a metronome that skips a beat.
  • ›Pick the hours with a slider, one hour to a week, the price beside it. An account is needed: the ghost taps while you are away, so if it breaks the egg, the email is how you are told.
  • ›One hand per person: the ghost goes quiet while you tap yourself, and picks up ten seconds after your last tap. The hours run only while an egg stands; if somebody else breaks it, what is left waits for the next one.
  • ›A win now finds its person on any device signed in on the account, and by email, so a closed tab or a dead phone loses nobody their egg.
  • ›The slow lane follows the account too: a fresh cookie that signs back in for its Power is still slowed.
  • ›The room reads "was slowed down for suspected cheating" instead of a line about limits.

2026-09-05

THE LIVE, RETHOUGHT

  • ›The scrolling feed is gone. Who is tapping is now a ring of dots around the egg, one per hand, pulsing with each click, sized by Power, snail-grey in the slow lane.
  • ›Your own clicks per second, under the room's meter and on your line of the top list. The top list shows twenty hands, five at a time, with each hand's pace.
  • ›Chat: the emoji tray folds after a message (and after one emoji on a phone), and typed smileys like :) :D ;) <3 show as faces.
  • ›The tap cap is 12 a second (was 8), and going over it is now a quiet note in the margin, not a yellow warning. A slow lane is not for sale, and it no longer spreads by IP address: a forum behind one mobile carrier was inheriting one script's lane.
  • ›New cadence tells: 7% variation instead of 25%, checked on the last 400 taps continuously; a "random delay between a and b" macro is caught by its shape; tapping thousands of times without a single pause marks a win for review instead of slowing anyone.
  • ›The hour's top list survives a deploy.
  • ›Top hands · this hour: five fixed rows, a bar behind each in the player's colour that glides as the numbers move, and your own rank under them. Resets when the game restarts.
  • ›The hands and the hour arrive with the page, not with your first tap; when the taps stop, the dots go out and the bars settle.
  • ›Moments (a Power purchase, a snail, a milestone) flash over the egg for a few seconds and stay as a grey line in the chat.
  • ›The chat takes the whole column; emoji behind one key; the legend is gone (hover the marks).
  • ›New pseudonyms: 120 adjectives, 120 nouns, a two-digit number. "sly muffin 38" and "stormy cookie 28" no longer look like the same person.
  • ›Every voice in the chat has its own colour, from its name.
  • ›A phone on a bad connection is no longer mistaken for a script: a tap is refused only on the cadence's own evidence.
  • ›The steady-cadence rule now needs 400 taps in a row under 25% variation, not 200. Fast, steady hands were tripping it.
  • ›The slow lane follows the connection: a new cookie does not shed it.
  • ›Your chosen name survives a lost cookie (X's in-app browser drops them every time).
  • ›Invite a friend: +1 Power when someone who came through your link buys their first pack.
  • ›Put the egg on your site: a live badge and a widget, on the Stats page.
  • ›Share the moment when the crack reaches a new stage.
  • ›The screen no longer jumps on a phone while you tap.
  • ›The links at the bottom of the side column stay in sight on a desktop.
  • ›This page.

2026-09-04

THE ROOM FILLS UP

  • ›Chat, with @mentions, an emoji bar, and a dot for whoever was tapping when they wrote.
  • ›Powered taps are visible to everyone: lightning where they land, and their own lane in the feed.
  • ›Cheaters are not banned. They get the slow lane: half a tap a second, Power paused, a snail next to their name, and the lane doubles each time.
  • ›Open tabs reload themselves after a deploy. Nine deploys, no click lost.
  • ›The egg opens for everyone when it breaks, and stays open with the gift on show until the next round is started by hand.
  • ›The winner gets a claim code, kept only as a hash on our side.
  • ›Live numbers: the Stats page, hourly and daily.
  • ›A rebuilt Sponsor page.
  • ›Power at $1.99, $7.99 and $19.99. Power funds no prize: it changes your taps, not what is inside.

2026-09-03

ONE EGG, 22:35 PARIS

  • ›The egg goes up. Free, no account, one tap at a time. It breaks somewhere between one and ten million.
