First steps from Ice Cube to weapon shop
Step
When you load in, your only tool is the Ice Cube. Hurl it at the Sun to start cooling it down and collecting cash. Once you have enough, head straight to the shop and buy your first weapon — that purchase alone unlocks the Shopper badge and sets you up for everything that follows.
- Throw the Ice Cube aim at the Sun and throw to earn your first cash.
- Open the weapon shop spend that cash on any weapon to get going.
- Pick up Solar Fragments the Sun drops them as you attack; grab them when they appear.

Weapons and upgrades worth knowing
TableThe shop sells increasingly powerful weapons as you earn more cash. Three stand out because the game tracks them with their own badges.
| Ice Cannon | earns its own badge on purchase, giving you real cooling firepower. |
| Cryo Ray | a stronger cooling weapon with its own purchase badge. |
| Comet Catcher | the heaviest tool in the shop; whether your team buys it changes your strategy. |
| Weapon Variants | the shop stocks multiple variants; owning 3, 7, and 12 each unlock their own badges. |
| Full upgrades | every upgrade in the game can be maxed out, and doing so unlocks the Upgrademaxxing badge. |
Surviving Solar Instability
Warn
At certain points the Sun fights back hard in a phase called Solar Instability. Surviving even the first one is treated as an achievement. A separate badge rewards finishing the whole game without taking any damage at all.
Maps and difficulties
TipsEach map has its own difficulty tiers, and the badges make the full set of targets clear.
- Beach — has Medium, Hard, and Nightmare tiers.
- Exoplanet — has Easy, Hard, and Nightmare tiers.
- Overgrown Planet — completing it unlocks the Root Cutter badge.
- Nightmare difficulty is the highest tier on any map.
- Solo runs save your progress, so you can tackle any map alone and pick up where you left off.
Challenge runs for experienced players
CheckOnce you can clear the game normally, the badge list gives you two hard-mode restrictions to try.
- Confirm nobody on the team buys Comet Catcher before you start an Underpowered attempt.
- For Untouchable, a single hit voids the badge.
- Collect weapon variants; owning 12 at once is the Arsenal milestone.
