This may have been suggested before but imma post it anyway :D

I'm sure many users will agree with me when I say that the current egg hunting method is rather tedious. ;w; I personally struggle to persevere with repeatedly clicking "explore onward", with the reward being like…an egg every half hour. :c We all love seasonal creatu, though…if only it was more exciting to find their eggs, right? Well, read on…

I would like to suggest that instead of hunting as we do currently, we play rescreatu-themed games in order to obtain eggs. These games could be platform games similar to, say, Mario or Donkey Kong, puzzle/strategy games like Cut the Rope or Where's My Water, or something simple but addictive like Flappy Bird, Pacman, Candy Crush/Bejeweled etc…the current flash games on Res could even be modified and used. I don't think simple games like these would be too difficult to create (but I don't have experience with coding or game making so forgive me if I'm wrong!). The art from the current egg hunts could be used as the base for the games.

The games would have lots of levels, preferably with increasing difficulty. Each time a user passes a level, they obtain an egg. Maybe as the levels get harder, they are worth more eggs? Or maybe instead of receiving an egg for each level, the user randomly receives either an egg, an item (like in current hunts) or amounts of tu (like 1mil). Or the games could allow players to verse each other and the winner would receive an egg? Players would be randomly matched so everyone has a fair chance.

Of course, these games would only be available during their respective seasons. There would be a different game for each species, and the player could alternate between both. So for example at Halloween, Jaaku would have one game and Ebbie would have a different game. A user could complete, say, 3 levels of the Jaaku game and if they wanted a change they could switch to the Ebbie game. Then when they return to Jaaku game they would continue where they left off - at level 4. 

The games would preferably be different for each season, and possibly themed? So the games for Ebbie and Jaaku could be halloween themed, Uilus and Narwi Christmas themed, etc. Instead of only getting 48 hours, users would have the whole seasonal period to play the games. It may be good to have a limit of, say, 100 levels, to prevent some users from playing 24/7 and raking in thousands of eggs, which would upset the game's economy (not to mention annoy other players!). The levels towards the end would be really tricky, so that players don't complete all levels too quickly or get bored. This means that users would be kept entertained for the whole seasonal period, rather than just 48 hours. 

I feel this would be fairer than the current hunting method, as many users' schedules do not allow them to be on for 48 hours in one go - those who work 7 days a week, for example, or those that don't function without a good night's sleep (like me) :D. Users who do not have school/work commitments have an unfair advantage in that they can dedicate this chunk of time to egg hunting. My suggestion would allow users to contribute bits of time here and there, and still have the opportunity to obtain lots of eggs! 

Besides being fairer, I think this would be a more challenging, entertaining and rewarding method of obtaining seasonal eggs, rather than mindlessly clicking "explore onward" over and over. :3

I understand this idea needs development but I hope you like the concept. ;v; Please feel free to leave comments with feedback and/or questions! :> Thank you for reading!
