Where to start
Getting StartedThe first hour: mine, hatch, and the one research card to buy before any other.
Pets and HatchingEvery creature in the game, with its real art, its forms and its damage.
WorldsWhat each world opens at, what drops there, and who guards the way out.
ProgressionHow the ladder is built, and what carries you from one world to the next.
Competition and ColoniesThe colony you join, the Tower you climb, and the boards you share with other players.
TimeStar and BazaarCoins, gems and TimeStars, and what each of them is actually for.
CosmeticsFrames, auras, skins and pedestals. Looks only, never power.
FAQIs it free, does it run on a phone, and what happens to your data.
