Collection and cash

The official description says to collect buildings and monsters to earn more cash. It does not state whether this is a direct sale, a passive bonus, a progression multiplier, or another system. Use the live interface for the current explanation.

Still unknown

No unsupported optimization advice

Exact NPC timing, monster catch rates, building values, maze limits, and offline earnings are not published in the supplied description. This guide therefore does not claim a “best” layout or income rate.
