Money, cash, and leveling up
SummaryFinishing a round rewards you with money and pushes your level higher. These resources open up more options for how you build.
- Money spend it to buy a wider variety of blocks.
- Cash use it to upgrade your base's build capabilities.
- Level rises each time you clear a round.
Building smarter, not just taller
TipsA single column of blocks will keep you alive briefly, but a well-shaped structure keeps you safe and easy to move around. Think about how you will climb, not just how high you can go.
- Mix different block types together instead of relying on just one kind.
- Add stairs or slopes alongside vertical walls so you can actually climb your own structure quickly.
- Match your build speed to how fast the lava is rising.
