Hatching-tide 2026 feedback

[VeyaAkemi]

I found the minigame tedious and unfun and the abysmal payouts are especially ass when you have bilateral wrist tendonitis and are unwilling to cause a disabling flareup chasing hi score for a marginally better payout.

My highest score paid out over 100 eggs, you need 200 for all the non-housing rewards, if you are making at least ~5000 per run, you should only need 4 or so runs for all the glasses, the highest score I've seen got over 200 eggs in one run.

The exact payout rules seem to be 1 egg per 100 points, rounded up, so if you get 10,431 points, you get 105 eggs.

I think the event is fun but I don't really care for the rewards this time around.

There is no leaderboard for the event right?

Honest W for Square with this event. Glad we got a new minigame/FATE with every seasonal recently. I hope this trend keeps going because it's one of my favorite parts!

Also, is there a lot of RNG for the buff plants to pop up or not? Or am I just too slow during the mini-game? The most I've gotten is like 22 eggs, and I always use the long line sprint as soon as it's off the CD. Does anyone have any tips for them? I'm trying to get some extra furnishings after I got the glasses and facewear.

RNG is absolutely a factor.

The minigame was pretty fun, I think it could have been more fun to do in a group but I don't mind trying to beat my own score.
I'm not a fan of the rewards at all so this is one time I don't mind this being not "alt-friendly".

Another banger this year! The quest was cute, the minigame is fun, and so many detailed rewards! Keep up the great work!

I especially love the painted eggy glasses. The shape and color options are so cute and I will absolutely use them on some outfits as just my girl's glasses. Now we just need some heart shaped frames next year for Valentione's.

Overall I liked the event, but preferred the last two more. (Valentione's, and Little Ladies Day)
Like Little Ladies Day, I found the reward a bit meh. I can't really see myself using these glasses really ever? (More power to ya if you can rock them!) But once I saw that cute scythe I became a bit more disappointed that wasn't part of the reward. - I totally want it <3

The minigame I'm a bit mixed on. Overall it is fun!
The cooldown makes it feel kinda clunky if it was a *bit* faster that might have helped. The bonuses were too random. Some runs I got 5600 points, and others only 1800 (averaging probably 2300?). The rewards a bit too numerous and expensive for how RNG the minigame was.

In terms of doing this even on multiple alt characters:
Little Ladies day was also kinda a grind, but it was slow and not that active so you could easily do it while talking with friends.
Valentione's you could do with friends which made it fun enough.
This being as active, solo, and grindy made it kinda a chore to do on a handful of alts.

I think this event has a fun concept, but the execution is absolutely terrible!

The rewards are mostly just awful; there's nothing really good to get excited about (Mount, glam). The RNG in the minigame is absolutely awful. You only get one good run where you score around 5000 points, and after that, the results get progressively worse until you can't even get 20 eggs.

The reason: The extremely bad RNG. You only get a maximum of 2 to 3 eggs per field, or sometimes none at all (thanks for nothing! -.-), and even then, mostly only in bronze and extremely rarely in gold or silver. Additionally, weeds are often completely ignored by the weeder (despite using the weeding rage (?), a plant is still standing next to you, wtf?!). On top of that, there's the unnecessarily long cooldown for skills and map changes. Why?
Oh yeah, and with the Golden Egg buff, I've often experienced that you don't receive any golden eggs at all, or even any eggs at all!

You feel like you have to go in 10 times to get the 260 eggs. Sorry, this event is absolutely terrible. The Valentine and Princess event was significantly better and more fun.

P.S. Oh, and another drawback of the minigame is the constant camera reset! What's with that crap? It's annoying and wastes time trying to adjust the camera so it looks right again. -.-
