Backflip for Animals! How to Steal Eggs: Loop, Guardians, and Egg Tiers

Stealing an egg in Backflip for Animals! is one connected job, not a single grab: you backflip your way into a new biome, steal an egg from its guardian, escape that powerful animal guardian, and bring the egg back to your base. Only then is the egg yours to hatch. The game's own How to Play sequence puts egg stealing as the second step of the entire loop — right after backflipping to new biomes and right before hatching.

Where egg stealing sits in the official game loop

The developer's How to Play sequence lists six steps, and egg theft sits at step two. Backflipping into new biomes is what carries you to egg locations, and hatching only happens after an egg has been stolen and brought home:

Roadmap

1. 1

   Backflip to reach new biomes

   Stronger backflips carry you into the new biomes where egg locations wait.

2. 2

   Steal eggs from guardians

   Take an egg from the animal guarding it — the step this page covers.

3. 3

   Hatch eggs to collect rare pets

   The step that follows once an egg is stolen and brought home; some pets are mutated.

4. 4

   Earn money from your OP pets

   The pets you hatch are what the loop names as its money source.

5. 5

   Train on the treadmill to gain Speed

   Treadmill training is how the loop says you gain Speed.

6. 6

   Upgrade your treadmill and base

   The loop's final listed step: improve your treadmill and base.

The egg job: steal it, escape its guardian, bring it back to your base

The game's longer description breaks the theft itself into three connected actions:

Mechanic flow

1. 1

   Steal the egg

   Take the egg from its guardian — the first action in the theft.

2. 2

   Escape its guardian

   The description pairs stealing with evasion: "steal rare eggs, and escape from their powerful animal guardians!"

3. 3

   Bring the egg back to your base

   Delivery completes the job — "Bring the eggs back to your base" — with hatching as the next loop step.

So grabbing the egg is not the end of the attempt. Per the game's own wording, the theft is only done once you have shaken the guardian and delivered the egg to your base, where hatching takes over as the next step of the loop.

What you can steal and the progression that gates it

Egg acquisition scales with your backflip progression:

Tips

Egg tiers you can steal

The game description lists Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary & Mythic Eggs as the stealable tiers.

Backflip power opens the gate

Do backflips and jump higher as you get stronger — improving your backflip power is how you reach new stages.

Higher ground holds rarer eggs

"Reach higher stages to discover even rarer eggs!" The How to Play loop shows the same gating from the biome side: backflipping to new biomes comes right before stealing eggs from guardians.

What to check in-game

The game description doesn't publish numeric backflip-power thresholds or a per-stage egg list, so judge which tiers are realistic by whichever stage or biome your current power actually unlocks.

In short: stronger backflips unlock new biomes and stages, and those higher locations hold the rarer stealable eggs.

Treat every attempt as the three connected actions above rather than a quick grab — the egg only counts once you have escaped its guardian and brought it home. Your next practical move is the loop's own first step: train your backflips until you can reach the next biome or stage, then go for the rarest egg tier your power can reach and run it back to your base.
