The hero in the game isn't a warrior who blasts away bad guys with a super powerful arsenal of weapons. Instead, Iv@nich wears a plain apron and relies on his hens instead of a pistol.
Tula, Russia - November 26, 2007: Blagotek today announces the immediate availability of "Farmer Iv@nich - Eggs Lord", a new computer game that lets you unleash your inner farmer.
You assume the role of Iv@nich, a Russian farmer geek who bred a new kind of hens that lay eggs faster than sound. The eggs come so fast that the farmer is having a hard time collecting them! Things would be easier if it were not for the annoying cock. The cock is not pleased at the farmer's success and does everything to stop his progress.
The goal of the game is to help Iv@nich become the eggs lord. Collect the eggs until all the baskets are full. When a basket is full of eggs, it disappears. The faster you collect, the more points you score and the more chances you have to win the level. But if you take too long and do not collect the eggs in time, the level is lost and you have to start all over again.
While collecting eggs may not sound as exciting as blasting away bad guys with a super powerful arsenal of weapons, you'd be surprised at how challenging it is. Advancing in your career, you'll go through 33 difficult levels. Besides, there the angry cock! It'll try to attack you if you do not shake a leg and run away. And do not step on the baskets because if you do step or the cock bites you, the eggs multiple and you are not likely to collect them in time.
"Farmer Iv@nich - Eggs Lord" features outstanding graphics that complement the gameplay.
Try your hand at collecting eggs. It's fresh and fun to play!

Farmer Iv@nich: Eggs Lord – worst game ever or decent hoax?
Russia’s Blagotek provides the answer to violent computer games with a game that makes 3D Monster Maze look like Crysis...
With meat-spraying killfests such as Manhunt 2 being refused classification in the UK, and Clive Barker’s Jericho receiving similar treatment in Germany, violence in computer games is a hot topic at the moment. However, Russia’s Blagotek supposedly has an answer to the latest trend in butcher battles in the form of Farmer Iv@nich – Eggs Lord, a family-friendly game that’s all about collecting eggs, and there’s not an Uzi or a BFG in sight.
The company’s website paints a dismal, but humorously worded, picture of the gaming scene today. ‘Today the video game market is flooded with shooters and monsters,’ says Blagotek, with ‘lots of blood and tons of meat – that’s what many gamers like today. But these games are played by our children!’ The answer, we’re led to believe, is to get your kids playing Farmer Iv@nich – Eggs Lord instead.
We’ve had a play on the demo and we can safely say that the game is one of the worst things we’ve ever seen. For a start, Blagotek says that ‘Farmer Iv@nich - Eggs Lord’ features outstanding graphics that complement the gameplay.’ Now, no one expects a game about collecting eggs to rival Crysis in the graphics stakes, but you might at least expect the game to be fun to play. For example, you don’t expect to have to restart from the beginning of the game if you step on a basket. What’s in these booby-trapped baskets exactly, or are you not allowed to tell us because they might be full of something bad like bombs?
Still, the music is comically bouncy, and there’s also some good fun to be had in the pigeon English. In the game, you have a counter of ‘catched eggs’ rather than ‘caught eggs,’ but the game’s press release is also a good read, particularly the parts about your nemesis - the farm’s cockerel. ‘Besides, there the angry cock!’ says Blagotek, ‘it'll try to attack you if you do not shake a leg and run away. And do not step on the baskets because if you do step or the cock bites you, the eggs multiple and you are not likely to collect them in time.’
The game costs 12.75 Euros, but you can download the free demo, complete with ‘catched eggs’ here. Let’s hope that Blagotek has some better ideas in the works, as we’re sure it wouldn’t want to put all its eggs in one basket. (See what we’ve done there?)
