Gameplay

See it in action

30 seconds of real gameplay captured in the city: raids, rides, the lake and a Mega Guard boss fight.

One city, 20 districts

From the Park next to spawn out to the Theme Park at the far edge. Each district has its own hommies, guard and things to do.

Live events

Admin Abuse every Saturday, plus boss raids, coin rain and races run by staff.

Just for fun

Swim at the pool, fish at the lake, ride the chairlift and the ferris wheel.

Tutorial

How to play

The whole loop in one line: find a roaming hommie, carry it past the safe line before the district guard catches you, move it into your dorm, and let it earn coins while you get faster.

Find a hommie

Hommies roam every district. Walk up and hold E briefly to invite one. It stops while you pick it up.

Run for the safe line

The district guard chases you while you carry. Cross the marked safe line by the shops and the hommie is yours for good, saved to your collection.

Move it in

Carry it to your green home gate. It moves into your dorm, you get delivery coins, and it starts paying income every minute.

Get faster

Running and your dorm treadmill give speed points. Guards in later districts are faster, so speed decides where you can raid.

Upgrade and repeat

Spend coins on treadmill tiers, trails, auras, weapons and room upgrades. Collect every species in a district to unlock its weapon.

Rebirth

When you can afford it, rebirth: your coins and speed reset, but speed gains and income are multiplied forever. You keep your hommies.

First-day quest

New players get a five-step quest with check marks: try to invite a Park hommie and get stopped by the Scout, train to 100 speed on your home treadmill, invite again, move the hommie in, then start the dorm party. Follow the yellow arrows.

Schedule

What's on, and when

Weekly events run on the same clock in every server. Times below are in your time zone () and count down live.

Weekly events

These are the standard weekly slots (Saturday 5 PM and 9 PM, Wednesday 7 PM, US Eastern). Staff can move a slot or start a surprise event, so the game's own banner always has the final word.

Every server, all the time

Day and night

3.5 minutes of day, then 1.5 minutes of night, on a loop that starts when the server does.

Titan sighting

Every 2 minutes in the Park. Epic or better, ×5 income, stays about 1¾ minutes.

Behemoth sighting

Every 5 minutes in the Abandoned Park. Legendary or better, ×9 income.

Kaiju sighting

Every 30 minutes in the Park. Mythic or better, ×16 income, stays 4 minutes.

Lucky treadmill

Once an hour, for 5 minutes, a ×5 belt pops up somewhere inside a district. Tap the badge for a guide beam.

Secret ghost

Each night has a 3% chance of a Secret ghost: Afterimage, Page Zero or Dead Signal. It vanishes at sunrise.

Collection

Hommies

Every species, where it lives and the lowest rarity it can spawn at. Any spawn can roll higher, plus a mutation, size and build. Tap a card for its catchphrase.

The city

Districts

All 20 districts are open from the start. What stops you is the guard: you need to be faster than it to get out. Income grows about 10× per district.

Traits

Rarity, mutations, sizes and builds

Every roaming hommie rolls its traits when it spawns and keeps them forever. Income before boosts is rarity rate × mutation × size × build × species × level. Night species get ×1.8, day species ×1.25.

Weather

Local weather hits one district at a time and swaps in its own mutations: gas leaks favor Toxic and Glitch, meteor showers favor Cosmic and Ember, freeze fronts favor Frost and Prism.

Gear

Weapons

Weapons knock rival carriers back and hit the Mega Guard boss. Earn the next one by collecting every species in its district, then paying coins. Each step adds range and knockback and shortens the cooldown.

Boss damage is before effects. The Mega Guard's HP is 60 hits of every player's best weapon added together (at least 150), so a stronger server gets a tougher boss.

Enchant Totem

Weapon effects

The glowing totem left of the VIP shop at spawn, run by the Totem Keeper. Press E, pick any weapon you own and roll an effect. A new roll replaces the old effect (it asks first if you'd lose Epic or better). Rarer effects hit harder and look louder.

Costs 10 minutes of your income (at least 5K coins).

VIP Effect Box

149 Robux, sold only at the totem. VIP-only effects with a multiplier and a halo outline.

Legendary, Mythic and VIP pulls get announced in chat. Where paid random items aren't allowed, the box button says it's unavailable and coin rolls still work.

Progression

Speed, treadmills, trails and rebirth

Speed points set how fast you run. Trails and auras multiply the speed points you earn from running and the treadmill; they don't change your walk speed directly.

Events and live games

Server-wide events change the sky, the music and the odds. Stacked boosts are capped (speed ×3, treadmill ×4, coins ×5, luck ×6), and only what you earn during an event is saved.

Staff pick a prize (coins, a 24-hour boost, gear or a VIP Effect Box) and hit DRAW. Names spin for 6 seconds before the winner lights up. Gear you already own turns into coins.

Admin treadmill

A giant belt on the main road between the safe area and the Park, from ×2 up to ×50. It comes up by itself at ×10 during Admin Abuse.

Fishing

Grab a rod from the fishing chair at the Lake, cast, wait for the bite and press REEL in time. It's just for fun and bragging rights: catches show a card and your personal best, but give no coins or items.

Chances are for daytime. At night the two night-only fish join the pool, so everything else gets a little rarer.
