The core loop
Step
You start by clicking a simple circle to earn money. Spend that money on upgrades to boost how fast you earn, then keep pushing until you can prestige. Prestiging resets your progress but hands you permanent bonuses that make each new run faster than the last.
- Click circles tap the circle on screen to earn your first money.
- Mine caves delve into caves to find new ore resources that open up as you go deeper.
- Watch your circle count your circle number climbs as you earn and upgrade; badges unlock at circles 10, 50, 100, 200, 300, 500, 750, 1,000, and well beyond.
- Prestige when ready reset your run to earn a permanent bonus multiplier, then start the loop again.
