FAQ
How long does it take to unlock all characters?
Depends on how much you upgrade your clicking power. Could be anywhere from a few hours to several days if you're playing casually. The progression curve is designed to keep you engaged without feeling grindy.
Can I play offline?
Works offline for the core clicking gameplay. You'll need internet for leaderboards and sharing achievements with friends, but the main character collection works fine without connection.
Is there any strategy involved or just clicking?
More strategic than you'd expect. Timing your upgrades and choosing which characters to focus on first makes a real difference in progression speed. It's not mindless clicking - there's actual decision-making involved.
