How to play: beginner tips
- Try the demo first; check the store page to see whether demo progress carries over.
- Check what each game pass does before buying; many are convenience-only.
- Reinvest early earnings into upgrades that raise income, not cosmetics.
- Split roles with friends — one scout, one builder, one fighter — instead of all doing the same job.
- If stuck, step away — fresh eyes solve more puzzles than brute force.
- There is no rush — plan layouts before placing big items.
