Redeem codes first
Free rewards matter most before the first wall. Use the codes page, then start routing.
Beginner guide
Start with the verified loop: Noobs create Oof, Oof buys progress, upgrades push walls back, runes shape routes, and prestige deepens the next run.
Free rewards matter most before the first wall. Use the codes page, then start routing.
Buy affordable Noobs until the next purchase slows, then shift into whole-setup upgrades.
Keep a rune when it solves the bottleneck you actually feel right now.
Reset when the permanent benefit makes the next run meaningfully faster.

A clean first session is not about rushing every menu. Redeem current codes, buy enough Noobs to keep Oof moving, then pause when the next purchase starts taking noticeably longer. At that point, compare broad upgrades, Soldier Noob progress, and Tree requirements before spending rewards.
If you unlock runes, test one short run before changing everything. If prestige appears, ask whether the permanent gain will make the first few minutes after reset faster. When the answer is unclear, keep building the current route and use the planner to name the bottleneck.
Hold boost-style rewards until they finish a visible requirement, unlock, or rebuild goal.
A broad upgrade that improves the whole setup can beat one flashy purchase.
Compare time-to-upgrade before and after a rune change instead of judging by rarity alone.
Prestige should save time on the next climb; if the rebuild is slower, wait.
