The core loop: click, win, upgrade
Tips
The game revolves around a straightforward cycle. You click to build up your shield, survive turret fire long enough to clear a stage, collect your winnings, and then spend them on shield upgrades. A stronger shield makes the next stage easier, letting you push deeper into the zone.
- Click to build your shield — each click directly increases your shield's strength.
- Clear a stage — surviving turret fire earns you a win reward.
- Spend winnings on upgrades — open the menu and put your money into shield upgrades.
- Push to the next zone — a stronger shield means you can handle tougher turret fire further in.
- If a zone is too hard, go back and farm an earlier stage until your shield is ready.
Surviving turret fire
Check
Turrets fire periodically, and how well you hold up depends on how strong your shield is and how well you move. Higher levels unlock faster movement, which makes dodging easier on top of having a tougher shield.
- Check your shield upgrade level before entering a new zone.
- Make sure your level is high enough for the speed boost that level progression provides.
- If you keep failing a stage, return to an earlier one and grind wins until you can afford more upgrades.
Leveling up and what changes
Tips
As you clear stages and progress, your level climbs on its own. Each level gained increases your movement speed, which helps you dodge turret fire more easily. New areas of the map open up as your level grows, but those areas demand a stronger shield to survive.
- Level increases happen automatically as you complete stages.
- Higher movement speed from leveling makes it easier to get out of turret fire paths.
- Newly unlocked areas come with tougher turrets, so upgrade your shield before pushing into them.
When and why to Rebirth
Step
Rebirth is the game's prestige mechanic. You give up what you have built so far, and in return you receive a powerful multiplier on all future earnings. That multiplier means the same stages reward far more money than before, so you grow much faster after each Rebirth than you did the first time through.
- Push your level as high as it will comfortably go before considering Rebirth.
- When your money gains slow to a trickle no matter what stage you run, that is the signal to Rebirth.
- Trigger the Rebirth your progress resets and you receive a multiplier on your winnings going forward.
- With the multiplier active, even simple stages pay out far more than they did before.
- Each Rebirth stacks growth speed, so the game accelerates with every one you do.
Pets, titles, and auras
Tips
Beyond the shield itself, the game gives you three ways to get stronger. Pets come from hatching through the gacha system. Titles are earned by meeting specific in-game conditions. Auras are equippable effects that change both your appearance and your stats.
- Use the gacha system to hatch pets — stronger pets push your abilities higher.
- Check the title unlock conditions and work toward ones you can hit.
- Equip an aura to gain both a visual effect and a stat improvement.
Playing with others
TipsThe game supports up to eight players in one session. When the group clears a stage together, every player receives the win reward.
- Up to eight players can be in the same room at once.
- Every player in the group receives the win reward after a successful stage clear.
