Child loses interest waiting for eggs The time between the eggs that are supposed to be pressed is far too long for the attention span of the age of child this game is made for. I was watching my 2 year old play it and when it take as much as 20-30 seconds before the right eggs come up again she just gets bored and starts wanting to hit the other eggs. The developers tried to fix this by adding a speed setting but the problem is the frequency at which the right eggs comes up. That needs to be increased. Otherwise the game looks very polished.
