Tips and tricks
- Read the on-screen prompts once. Most casual games explain their entire control scheme in the first ten seconds and never again.
- Spend your first attempt learning, not winning. Poke at everything on screen; browser games hide small mechanics in plain sight.
- Do not compare your first hour to someone's hundredth. Casual games are built to be learned in public, one small improvement at a time.
- If a level frustrates you, the game usually has a way around it: a different approach, a power-up you skipped or simply more practice on the previous level.
- Because this is a Clicker game, buy the cheapest upgrade that multiplies output rather than the flashiest one.
