Your first goal on the screen
Step
When you load in, the top of the screen shows your current points next to the amount needed for your next ascension. An early quest tells you to reach Ascension 5, and that quest is your clearest signal of what to do next. Work through each quest one at a time rather than trying to understand everything at once.
- Check the gauge look at the top of the screen to compare your current points against the amount the next ascension requires.
- Read the active quest one quest shows at a time; finish it before worrying about anything else.
- Find the purple sign when the gauge fills up, locate the purple ASCENSION sign somewhere in the map and read its instructions before moving on.
The four buttons along the bottom
TableFour buttons sit along the bottom of the screen and they look similar enough to mix up. Knowing the icon for each one stops you from opening a purchase screen you didn't mean to.
| Upg. | yellow upward arrow; opens the upgrades you can buy. |
| Runes | blue rune icon; opens everything related to runes. |
| Stats | coloured bar chart; shows your current numbers. |
| Store | red price tag; contains tickets and other purchasable items. |
How ascension actually works
WarnFilling the point gauge and executing an ascension are two separate actions. Nothing happens automatically when the gauge hits 100%. Go to the purple ASCENSION sign in the map, read what will be reset and what you will gain, then confirm.
Resources and which upgrades they buy
Tips
Points are not the only resource in the game. Diamonds, Voltage, and Tokens are separate currencies, and an upgrade that costs one of those cannot be bought with points no matter how many points you have. Flux Upgrades are a distinct upgrade category — check them once they become available to you.
- When an upgrade is greyed out, look at the resource icon next to its price, not just the number.
- If you need more points for your next ascension, focus on upgrades that specifically increase point gain.
- Flux Upgrades appear under their own label — check that section for anything you have not bought yet.
Getting started with runes
StepRunes are obtained through a random roll system and add bonus effects to your growth. You do not need to chase rare runes from the start. When the quest prompts you to open a Basic Rune once, that is the right moment to try the rune menu for the first time.
- Wait for the quest hold off on the rune menu until the 'open a Basic Rune once' quest appears.
- Open the menu tap the blue rune button at the bottom and check what conditions you need to meet.
- Roll once try a single roll, then look at what the rune you received actually increases.

Using potions without wasting them
CheckRune potions come in Luck, Speed, and Bulk varieties and run for a limited time. Using one while you are still figuring out where to go or right before you log off throws that time away.
- Decide which rune you are targeting before you open the potion.
- Confirm you have enough of the required resource to keep rolling for the potion's full duration.
- Make sure you have enough playtime available to use the effect before you close the game.
- Read the item description for the specific effect and duration before you activate it.
When progress feels stuck
CheckIf you have been watching numbers grow without anything new happening, run through this list in order.
- Confirm your points are actually short of the next ascension threshold.
- Look at the runes you own and whether any of their bonuses match what your current goal needs.
- Find the unlock condition for the next world and treat it as a concrete target if everything else feels finished.
Glossary
Glossary- Ascension
- The main progression step in the game — you confirm it at the purple ASCENSION sign, it resets some progress, and it gives you permanent bonuses in return.
- Points
- The primary resource that grows automatically from the start; the top of the screen compares your current total to the amount needed for the next ascension.
- Upg. (Upgrades)
- Purchasable boosts found through the yellow upward-arrow button at the bottom of the screen.
- Runes
- Randomly obtained items that add bonus effects to your growth; the entry-level variety is called a Basic Rune.
- Potions
- Consumable items with three varieties — Luck, Speed, and Bulk — each giving a temporary boost to rune-related activity.
- Flux Upgrades
- A separate upgrade category within the game, labeled 'Flux Upgrades', that becomes available as you progress.
- Worlds
- Distinct areas that unlock as you meet ascension and resource conditions, each opening up new content.
- K / M / B / T
- Shorthand for large numbers: K = 1,000, M = 1,000,000, B = 1,000,000,000, T = 1,000,000,000,000.
Common questions
FAQThe gauge is at 100% but ascension hasn't triggered — what do I do?
Filling the gauge and completing an ascension are separate actions. Find the purple ASCENSION sign somewhere in the map, read the conditions and effects it shows, then confirm the ascension there.
I have plenty of points but I still can't buy a certain upgrade — why?
Many upgrades cost a resource other than points, such as Diamonds, Voltage, or Tokens. Check the icon right next to the upgrade's price to see which resource it actually requires, then work on earning that one.
What do the letters after big numbers mean?
They are shorthand so large numbers fit on screen. K means one thousand, M means one million, B means one billion, and T means one trillion. Always check the letter as well as the digits when comparing a price to your balance.
When should I start using runes?
The clearest signal is when a quest appears telling you to open a Basic Rune once. Open the rune menu at that point, check the conditions, and do one roll to get familiar with how it works.
