The basic loop: steps, layers, bosses
Step
Every run starts the same way: you spend your currency on steps, which move you down into the pit. Each layer brings new enemies, and at the end of every layer a boss stands between you and the next one. Your job is to defeat that boss and keep descending.
- Buy steps this is what lets you move deeper into the pit at all.
- Push through each layer enemies change as you go.
- Reach the boss every layer ends with a boss you have to beat before you can continue.
- Collect as you go fossils and rare shinies appear while you dig.

Upgrade trees and character growth
TipsThere are several distinct upgrade trees, and each one boosts a different set of abilities.
- Multiple upgrade trees exist, each improving different abilities rather than all doing the same thing.
- Fossils you dig up feed directly into upgrades.
Fossils and shinies
CheckAs you descend, fossils turn up and go toward your upgrades. Shinies are a rarer find — they drop at random. Roblox Plus gives you a 20% luck boost.
- Fossils appear while digging and are your main upgrade resource.
- Shinies are random drops, not guaranteed.
- Roblox Plus raises your luck by 20%, but it is not required to play.
The rebirth cycle
SummaryOnce you go deep enough, rebirth becomes part of the game. Your layers reset, but the strength you have built carries over, so each new run goes further than the last.
- What resets the layers you have descended through start over from the top.
- What stays upgrades are kept across the rebirth.
- The payoff with your retained upgrades, you clear early layers far faster than before.

Common questions
FAQIs there a maximum depth?
No depth limit has been set — the pit keeps going as long as you keep buying steps and upgrading.
Do I lose my upgrades when I rebirth?
No. Rebirthing resets the layers you have passed through, but your upgrades remain.
Is Roblox Plus necessary?
It is not required. The only difference it makes is a 20% increase to your luck stat, which raises the chance of rare drops like shinies. The full game is playable without it.
Can I play with friends?
Yes — a single room holds up to eight players. Invite friends to the same session and you can tackle layers and bosses together.
