Welcome to Eggcavator – your extraordinary collecting adventure through prehistoric times, technology, and outer space! Begin your journey as an archaeologist in mysterious jungle ruins. Brush away layers from a massive rock, uncover valuable fossils, and use them to purchase different eggs. With a little luck, one of 32 unique prehistoric creatures will hatch – from the tiny Compsognathus to the mighty Tyrannosaurus Rex. But the jungle ruins are only the beginning! THREE UNIQUE GAME WORLDS • Jungle Ruins Uncover fossils, open eggs, and complete your dinosaur collection. • Scrap Metropolis Once you have discovered every dinosaur, a futuristic scrapyard world becomes available. Search a huge pile of scrap, collect screws, and activate 32 individual robots. • Orbital Laboratory Complete the robot collection to gain access to a space station overlooking Earth. Extract samples from a mysterious slime pile, open stasis pods, and research 32 extraordinary aliens. COLLECT 96 UNIQUE BEINGS Each world contains eight rarity tiers – from Common to Secret. Four different dinosaurs, robots, or aliens are waiting in every tier. Each character features its own high-quality artwork and distinctive design. Every discovered being is permanently stored in its corresponding collection. Tap an entry to view its artwork in full screen. Creatures you have not found yet remain hidden behind mysterious “???” symbols. INCREASE YOUR REWARDS Selected characters unlock powerful multipliers. Only your highest unlocked multiplier is active. Your rewards grow as you work toward rarer eggs and capsules and move closer to completing every collection. SPECTACULAR ANIMATIONS Watch eggs slowly crack open, robots come to life, and aliens awaken from their stasis pods. The rarer the category, the more impressive the particles, lighting, and glow effects become. On supported iPhones, haptic feedback simulates the individual impacts of an egg breaking apart. YOUR PROGRESS MATTERS Separate statistics track your activity in every world: • Brush actions and fossils uncovered • Scrap searches and screws found • Slime samples extracted and successfully collected • Eggs and capsules purchased • Unsuccessful search attempts All currencies, statistics, discoveries, and collection progress are saved automatically. MADE FOR IPHONE AND IPAD Eggcavator is optimized for iPhone and iPad, fills the available screen, and supports both portrait and landscape orientation. The interface automatically adapts to different display sizes. PLAY IN MULTIPLE LANGUAGES The app is fully available in English, German, French, and Spanish and automatically uses the language selected on your device. YOUR JOURNEY BEGINS Brush away the dirt covering your first fossil, complete three extensive collections, and discover all 96 dinosaurs, robots, and aliens. Which secret creature will you find next?
