Spend resources with the next fight in mind
The creator links resource collection to an upgrade tree, with some upgrades making progress faster and enemies stronger. Before spending, read both sides of that tradeoff. A useful question is whether the next increase in pressure suits the run you want; this guide does not prescribe an untested build order.
Choose a mode for a specific goal
The description includes a story and survivor-style mode, an endless Infinite Mode marked beta, and three increasingly difficult boss challenges. Pick the mode by the experience you want: ongoing resource progression or a focused difficulty test. No boss victory or full mode-by-mode compatibility check is claimed here.
Keep the itch.io and Steam builds distinct
The creator recommends a separate Steam demo for the best experience. This page’s main link opens the official itch.io project, where you can follow the creator’s store link if preferred. Do not assume that features, controls or progress transfer are identical across editions.
Read controls in the build you open
The checked description explains the progression idea but leaves exact inputs unspecified. Use the current game’s instructions before starting a serious attempt, and check whether your device provides the expected input. Browser performance, physical-phone support and saves were not tested by Joywisp.
