I loved the dialogue! but it disrupted my first playthrough too much so I lost pretty badly so I had to turn it off. I kind wish there was an eggcyclopedia so I could see them all and read them in safety :)
I was able to win my second game (briefly maxing out the number of chickens) and once I clicked the 200Eggs to Win button I realized I'd been holding my breath, so it was definitely engaging!
