FAQ

Playing

How do I win?

Complete the level 7 milestone. But "winning" isn't the only good outcome — most successful runs end with a well-timed cash out. Your final score is your moon rock balance, however the run ends.

What happens when I die?

At 0 HP the run ends immediately. Your current points are lost, but you keep all the moon rocks you collected during the run — that balance is your final score.

Should I cash out or continue?

Continuing converts your points into bits (shop money) instead of moon rocks (score), costs an entry fee, and exposes you to new curses. The reward curve is steeply exponential, so deep runs pay disproportionately — but a bust near the end can leave you below where a safe cash out would have. That tension is the game.

Why did a bomb come back after I pulled it?

That's the Bomberang — a sticky bomb that returns to the bag after every pull. It's added to your bag by the level 6 curse. See Bombs & curses.

Why did my multiplier reset?

The multiplier resets to 1.00x every time you leave the shop, along with your health being restored. Multipliers are a per-level resource — build them early in each level.

My whole bag came back — is that a bug?

No: when every non-sticky orb has been pulled, the bag regenerates and everything becomes pullable again for the rest of the level.

Ranked & rewards

What does it cost to play ranked?

Entries are sold as starter packs: tier N costs N × $2 USDC and pays rewards at roughly Nx. A free pack is available by completing a social task. See Rewards.

Who can play ranked?

Ranked mode requires being 18+ and located in an eligible region — the app verifies eligibility before purchase. Practice mode is open to everyone.

What's the minimum score that pays out?

65 moon rocks. Below that, the reward is zero. You start with 100, so a run that ends early can absolutely finish below the payout floor.

Do my runs expire?

Yes — a ranked game must be finished within 24 hours of starting.

What is GLITCH?

The game's ERC-20 reward token on Starknet. It's minted when you claim game rewards, and it can be staked to earn a share of game revenue.
