Starting out: the treadmill first
StepWhen you first join, your character is slow enough that guards can easily catch you. Spending time on the treadmill before venturing out gives you a better chance of escaping with an egg. Once your speed feels comfortable, head to the map.
- Get on the treadmill hop on the machine inside your base to start training
- Keep running your speed increases the longer you stay on it
- Check your progress once your speed has gone up noticeably, you are ready to go outside
Stealing an egg without getting caught
CheckGuards patrol the map constantly. Rushing straight for an egg without watching their movement is how most players get sent back empty-handed. Take a moment to observe before committing to a route.
- Scan the map for egg locations before moving toward one
- Spot the guard's current position and direction of travel
- Pick a path that keeps you out of the guard's line of sight
- Grab the egg quickly once the guard is far enough away
What happens if a guard catches you
Warn
Being caught sends you back to your base, and any egg you were holding is lost. You leave empty-handed and have to start the next attempt from scratch.
Hatching eggs and building your pet collection
TipsBack at base, place your egg in the hatcher and wait for it to become a pet. Each pet earns money for you continuously, so the more pets you have, the faster your income grows. Pets vary by rarity, size, and mutation, and higher-rarity pets generate more money than common ones. You can hatch multiple eggs over time and run all the resulting pets at once. The in-game Index tracks every type of pet you have collected, and filling it out completely is the long-term goal the game is built around.
- Rarer pets earn more money than common ones
- Multiple pets all earn money at the same time, so grow your collection steadily
- Mutations and size variations exist within pet types, giving each hatch a chance to surprise you
- Check the Index to see which pets you are still missing
Upgrading your base and treadmill
TipsBoth your base and your treadmill can be upgraded with the money your pets earn. A stronger treadmill raises your speed ceiling, making guards easier to escape. A stronger base increases how much money your pets produce.
- Upgrade the treadmill to raise your maximum running speed
- Upgrade the base to increase passive income from your pets
Playing with others
SummaryA single room holds up to six players at once. You can cooperate on egg runs or simply play alongside others at your own pace. Each player has their own independent base and facilities, so sharing a room does not affect your individual upgrades or pet collection.
- Room size up to six players per room
- Base ownership every player's base and upgrades are separate
- Pace you can progress entirely at your own speed regardless of what others are doing
