All six endings and how they split
Tips
The game tells you upfront that there are six endings to collect. They are not random — they follow from the decisions you make along the way, including one major fork involving the Rat King and the relic.
- Earth Saved — reached by choices that result in protecting the planet.
- Peace — the story ends at sunrise with a calmer resolution.
- Mars — you escape, but everyone else on Earth is left behind.
- The End? — a mysterious conclusion where the other characters are gone.
- Relic Returned — you defeat the Rat King and take the relic back, which also unlocks the Relic Gear.
- Stolen Relic — you hand the relic over to the Rat King instead.
Reaching every ending
CheckBecause endings are locked behind specific decisions, you will need to replay the game several times.
- On your first run, just play freely and see where you land.
- Make sure you try both options when you meet the Rat King giving him the relic and keeping it lead to two different endings.
- Explore carefully each time, since the game description mentions hidden secrets along the way.
Gear badges in the lobby
Tips
Outside the main story, the lobby holds items tied to their own badges. Earning each badge unlocks a matching gear item you can use.
- Find the ice cream truck in the lobby and interact with it to earn the Ice Cream badge.
- The Egg, Bloxy Cola, Pizza, Rock, and Cheese badges each come with their own gear unlock when collected.
- If you meet a developer in-game, you earn the Hammer Gear automatically.
Badges that come naturally
WarnNot every badge needs a plan. A couple of them show up on their own during normal play.

Common questions
FAQHow do I get the Hammer Gear?
You get it automatically by meeting a developer in-game.
Are the lobby item badges connected to the story endings?
