Wazzup my gamers! Its me, Gamer Pooge. The peeps over at 77p Studios have been building an update for your favorite “boomer shooter” “immersive sim” “game” for the better part of 2 years and they want you to finally experience it in all its glory. You’re probably now screaming at your screen:
"Tell us more about this update for my favourite boomershooter-cum-immersive sim game 77p Egg: Eggwife"
Well, listen to these features!
Firstly, lets talk about...
Pooge's Weekly Challenge!! - A variant of arena mode in which every week there is a set seed, set map, set list of enemies, time limit and new exclusive “special challenge card” that significantly changes the gameplay. All players play on the same seed each week and can compare scores on a leaderboard!
Arena Mode “Season 2” cards - 30+ new positive and negative cards for you to play with in Pooge's Weekly Challenge and the normal arenas. Speaking of arenas…
Over 2 new arenas! That’s right, 3!
Custom difficulty modes for the Story mode! Make it as easy or hard as you want! Play with cards from arena mode in the story mode (you gotta unlock em first though ;) )!
SteamDeck support! It's here!
New achievements for all you achievement hunters, so you can have to fun of 100%ing the game all over again.
I bet you’re practically frothing at the bits thinking about this update. We are too.
But thats not all we’ve been working on! Before the changelog, let me remind you about our upcoming new game “77p Egg: Cubicle 77”, in which our hero, 77p egg, leaves their wife in the cafeteria for a quick bathroom break… only to become trapped in an endless loop of mall toilets... toilets that are occasionally affected by intradimensional abnormalities. Go wishlist it now!!!
