The core loop
StepThe entire game runs on a single loop that keeps accelerating as you play. Eating anything in the world grows your character and puts money in your pocket. That money goes straight into upgrades, which let you eat larger things and earn even more per bite.
- Start eating grab everything nearby the moment you spawn
- Watch your money check the on-screen counter to know when you can afford your next upgrade
- Open upgrades buy whatever is available as soon as you have enough money
- Enter PvP keep growing until combat unlocks, then add dirt-throwing to your toolkit

Early priorities
CheckUpgrades raise both your eating speed and the size of things you can eat, so every purchase has an immediate effect.
- Spend money on upgrades as soon as you can afford them do not sit on cash
- Note the button on the bottom left it lets you skip maps or pause the timer
- Confirm that your character is visibly growing; if not, an upgrade purchase is overdue
Events running now or coming soon. They have fixed dates, so check them first.
PvP tips
TipsPvP unlocks automatically once you have grown large enough, and from that point you can throw chunks of dirt at other players to deal damage.
- Do not start fights while you are still small; build up through the upgrade cycle first
- Pick on players who are a similar size or smaller — avoid anyone clearly larger than you
- Time your dirt throws carefully to land hits
Playing without PvP
SummaryThe game offers two built-in ways to manage combat. Private servers cost nothing to create, so you can farm upgrades at your own pace without interference. The button on the bottom left also gives you map-skipping and a timer pause if you want to adjust your environment mid-session.
- Private server free to create, keeps other players out entirely
- Map skip available via the bottom-left button, moves you to a different map on demand
- Timer pause also on the bottom-left button, lets you slow down the session pace
When progress feels stuck
WarnIf your character stops growing noticeably, the cause is nearly always an upgrade gap. Spending accumulated money on upgrades widens the range of objects you can eat. If PvP from other players is the problem rather than upgrades, a private server resolves it without any cost.
Free-to-play ceiling
SummaryEvery upgrade can be purchased with in-game money you earn by eating, and private servers are free to create.
- Upgrades all purchasable with in-game money earned through normal play
- Private servers free for anyone who wants a solo or low-conflict session

Common questions
FAQDo I need to spend real money to progress?
No — every upgrade is paid for with money you earn by eating, and private servers are free.
Why has my character stopped growing?
The most common reason is unspent in-game money sitting in your account without being used on upgrades. Spend what you have and your eating speed and the range of things you can eat will both increase.
How do I avoid other players attacking me?
Create a private server — it is free and completely removes other players from your session. You can also use the map-skip button on the bottom left to move to a different map.
When does dirt-throwing unlock?
PvP features, including throwing chunks of dirt, unlock automatically once your character has grown large enough through eating and upgrading.
What does the button on the bottom left do?
It lets you skip to a different map or pause the in-game timer.
