Penguins have mastered mining and ore extraction. The game now includes 4 types of ore mining:

• Builder and Penguin with Glasses using a pickaxe and shovel – often die, tools break
  
• Great Builder and Penguin with Glasses using a pickaxe and shovel – rarely die, tools break
  
• Builder and Penguin with Glasses using great pickaxe and shovel – often die, tools remain intact
  
• Great Builder and Penguin with Glasses using great pickaxe and shovel – rarely die, tools remain intact

Currently, the following ores can be mined:

• Iron 60%
  
• Aluminum 15%
  
• Bronze 10%
  
• Silver 5%
  
• Gold 2.5%
  
• Diamond 0.005%

All types of ores can sometimes be mined simultaneously.

Additionally, the game now features the ability to upgrade penguins to level 2 using a boss.

• Penguin God Crafting
  
• Extraction of Divine Doping, which guarantees the transformation of a penguin into a monster

This year turned out to be incredibly dynamic, and throughout 2024 we achieved a lot:
- Clicker games became a major trend.
- Competition in the genre reached unprecedented heights.
- However, many projects gradually faded into oblivion.

Nevertheless, Egg Surprise managed to stand out and create something unique. From a simple trend, we crafted an engaging, albeit short, story about the survival of poor penguins in the face of a vampire plague, farm overwork, child deaths, and even the emergence of gods.

Let’s revisit the key moments of this captivating story!

• At first, ghosts, penguins, and several important characters from our game Styria appeared.
  
• With the launch of the first items in the shop, the crafting system was introduced, and soon the first farms were built.
  
• Penguins perished on farms, bringing rare items. Bee invasions occurred, leading to the creation of clover. Farms began producing colorful eggs, as well as the first penguin chicks.
  
• Among the rare items, marked eggs appeared, accompanied by mysterious phenomena. Thus, various night creatures emerged in the penguin world.
  
• The first expedition allowed families to venture to abandoned farms to gather resources, marking the start of penguin resurrections.
  
• Penguin Papa was introduced to incubate eggs and produce rare penguins.
  
• Zombie penguins were allowed on farms. Later, the first major expedition to the Dead Valley was organized, where players could obtain Excalibur, Lucard's journal, a pentagram, and other rare items. Before this event, dog training and \"dog fever\" were added to the game.
  
• Penguins took up professions: foresters began cutting trees, while stunned penguins took to fishing. For the first time, it became possible to grow penguin families.
  
• A sacrificial cult emerged in the settlement to extract animal blood. Penguins learned to compensate for losses by raising penguin chicks. Later, magical portals appeared in the shop.
  
• Penguins with new professions began hatching from colorful eggs: engineers, blacksmiths, cooks, doctors, and farmers. Penguins started experimenting with syringes containing unknown liquids, leading to mutations.
  
• Lady Lamia, or the Goddess of Light, began resurrecting penguins without consequences. New mysterious eggs of unknown origin appeared.
  
• Fantastic creatures began appearing in forests and waters. Penguins randomly acquired succubi, fairies, and mermaids.
  
• A new era of craftsmanship and sea voyages dawned: shipbuilding began, and treasure hunting was introduced.
  
• The settlement improved: fishing hooks were replaced with nets. Monsters started performing penguin tasks and gained access to farms.
  
• The Elder Penguin revealed the secret of fire-making, paving the way for blacksmithing.
  
• Dragons appeared in the penguin world, fortunately friendly and helpful to the settlement.
  
• The dawn of penguin civilization led to the creation of a full-fledged economy and craftsmanship. It all started with simple penguins and their descendants.
  
• Now, the world features gods, chaos, true horrors in the form of abominations, and much more.

We want to end today’s news on a positive note and say that the era of penguins is just beginning. Ahead lies the migration to Northopia Island, but for now, we need to prepare seriously and gather as many resources as possible.

On behalf of the project authors, I express immense gratitude to our community for their unwavering support throughout the year, their patience, and for sticking with us no matter what. We’ve made our share of mistakes, but I’d like to focus on the incredible amount of work we’ve accomplished together and the universe we’ve built.

Happy New Year, and I wish you all the best! See you next year.
