How to Throw Farther in Throw An Egg (and How to Tell It Worked)

To throw your egg farther in Throw An Egg, buy weights and train your arms — it is the path the game's own description advertises: "Buy weights and train your arms to throw further!" Training fills your power stat, and the more power you have when you throw, the farther the egg flies. You can confirm every improvement right after the throw: the result screen shows the distance in meters and announces "new record" or "new best" whenever you beat your farthest throw.

Buy weights, then train your arms

Weights are bought with in-game cash — the money you earn from hatching eggs — in the weights area of the map. They come in a progression of tiers, starting around Small Normal (+2 power) and climbing through names like Small Electro and Big Electro, with higher tiers costing thousands to tens of thousands of dollars. The roster changes as the game updates, but the rule stays the same: each new weight raises how much power you gain while training. Our Throw An Egg weights guide looks at the shop in more detail, and if you need more cash for the next tier, the upgrade order guide and the codes page are the first places to check.

Build power at the training machine

After buying a weight, use the training machine and lift. Your power stat fills up over time, so training takes a while — a 2x button can speed up training when you use it. Power can also keep stacking up while you wait around, so it pays to let it climb before you head to the throw zone. Players commonly set themselves power goals before testing a throw — 700, 5,000, even 100,000 power — then watched the egg reach noticeably farther zones. Those numbers are individual examples, not benchmarks you have to hit.

Time the throw for Perfect

Power is not the whole story. Each throw is rated by timing — Perfect, then Excellent and Good — and players repeatedly treat Perfect throws as the ones that send the egg farthest, so aim for a Perfect release on every throw. The egg lands in map zones — Forest, Desert, Snow, Candyland and beyond — according to how far it flew, so each new zone is itself a sign of a longer throw.

How to tell your throw distance improved

Watch for two signals after every throw:

1. The distance readout. The result screen shows exactly how far the egg traveled in meters — readings like "A new record. 66 m", "new best 185 meter", "506 m" and "660 m" all come straight off that screen. When you pass your previous farthest, the game announces "new record" or "new best", which is the clearest confirmation your distance went up. Other players' meter values are their own results, not targets.
2. The zone where the egg lands. If your eggs used to drop in Forest and now reach Desert or Snow, your throws are traveling farther.

Buy speed before you chase long throws

Speed is a separate upgrade from power, and it does not add throw distance — but it decides whether you keep the egg. After the egg lands you must run out, grab it and bring it back before the tsunami catches you, and players who skipped speed upgrades have lost eggs even on strong throws. As your throws reach farther zones, put cash into speed too so every long throw is recoverable. The tsunami survival guide covers the run back.

Remember that rebirth resets your power

Rebirthing trades your progress for rebirth benefits, and the cost hits throw distance directly: it resets your money and strength/power, and speed as well, so all that trained power has to be rebuilt. Expect your throws to fall short right after a rebirth and climb back up through the weights. If you are mapping out the full progression, the beginner guide and the noob-to-pro roadmap put throwing distance in context.
