How to play: beginner tips
- Prioritise upgrades that speed up every future run.
- Keep a few spare materials; recipes often unlock faster than you expect.
- Try the demo first; check the store page to see whether demo progress carries over.
- Commit to one build until it is online — spreading points thin slows the early game.
- Reinvest early earnings into upgrades that raise income, not cosmetics.
- Play with headphones — sound cues usually warn you before a threat appears.
