Core loop
Choose a city action, battle opponents, spend money in the shop, and rebuild your top in Customize.
Run state
The HUD tracks your level, EXP, money, day, and time of day. Reaching the next level requires EXP equal to 4 × the current level, so level 1 requires 4 EXP.
Battle rules
A normal battle lasts 45 seconds against one opponent. Small Bladder reduces the timer to 10 seconds. 2 Against 1 adds a second opponent.
Demo boundary
The demo stops before the final battle. The official store description says progress carries into the full game.
