START WITH THE FAILURE
WHAT BROKE
THE LOOP?
A good fix starts with the run's actual bottleneck. Pick the signal that matches what you saw, then change one layer instead of rebuilding everything.
01 / SCORE
My score stalls
Separate trigger reliability from peak numbers, then change one layer at a time.
Diagnose scoring 0202 / SILVER
Silver feels out of reach
Check the run's scoring engine, Gate order, and consistency before another attempt.
Open checklist 0303 / DRIFT
Drift feels weak
Compare drift-trigger time with speed, loops, and Gate returns without assuming one stat always wins.
Compare the trade-offThe car loops. Your build changes what each loop returns.
Cards, Gates, and Charms shape different parts of the engine.
Steam Demo, browser Demo, prototype, and full game stay separate.
AFTER LAUNCH

ONE NAME.
FOUR CONTEXTS.
The full game, updated Steam Demo, browser Demo, and 2025 jam prototype do not share one status sheet. Every guide names the edition it describes.
Start with the app or host named on the page. Steam app 4150860 is the announced full game, while app 4154070 is the PC Demo. Mheep also maintains a browser Demo and the earlier jam prototype. A shared title does not prove shared saves, mechanics, platform support, or release status.
Before following advice, check the edition and the page's review date together. If a source predates the updated Demo, use it as historical context until the same behaviour is reproduced in the current build.
The official store announced a full-game scope of 50 Cards, 30 Gates, and 70 Charms. They are orientation, not a promise that every item appears in the current Demo or that a particular combination will survive later balance changes. The same rule applies to the announced nine tracks, nine cars, and five difficulties: use the release page for the store claim, then use a dated gameplay guide for current-version decisions.
