The core loop

Step

In short Everything in the game flows from this cycle: fill the mortar, pound mochi, collect coins, then reinvest.

You start with a single mortar. Once it fills with rice — either by clicking or by letting your machines handle it — you pound the mochi and earn coins. Those coins go straight into buying more machines or making the ones you have stronger, which earns you coins faster and opens up better equipment.

Fill the mortar click it or wait for your rice generators to fill it automatically.
Pound the mochi once the mortar is full it starts producing, and you collect coins.
Buy new generators spend coins on additional machines to increase how fast rice comes in.
Upgrade what you have strengthen existing machines so each one produces more coins.
Repeat every upgrade makes the next cycle faster, so momentum builds quickly.

Competing on the leaderboard

Check

In short Up to eight players share a room, each working independently, and the leaderboard shows who is ahead at any moment.

Every room holds a maximum of eight players. You each run your own mortars and machines without getting in each other's way, but your scores all appear on the same leaderboard. Reaching the top spot is the main competitive goal the game sets out.

Check the leaderboard to see where you rank among the other players in your room.
Because other players cannot interfere with your machines, you can focus entirely on your own progress each session.
