• ️ CORE GAME MECHANICS

Manual Production

• Each click gives you a base amount of cookies
• Your click power increases as you upgrade!

Navigate to the Upgrades Menu to

• Increase cookies per click
• Unlock multipliers
• Boost overall production efficiency
• Pro Tip: Invest heavily in click upgrades early - they compound over time!

AUTOMATION SYSTEM

• Simple Auto Oven (First Purchase)
• Your entry-level automation
• Produces cookies passively every second

Can be upgraded to increase production speed

• Strategy: Buy this as soon as possible!

Each level dramatically increases output

• Strategy: This is your path to becoming a millionaire!

Upgrading Auto Ovens

• Each oven has multiple levels (Level 1, 2, 3, etc.)
• Higher levels: more cookies per second
• Costs increase with each level
• Balance purchases between new ovens and upgrading existing ones
• SHOP SYSTEM
• Build your cookie empire with 4 different shops!

How Shops Work

• Each shop has a rotating progress bar on top
• The bar fills up over time (duration varies by shop level)
• When the bar completes, money is added to your account
• The bar immediately resets and starts filling again
• Shops earn money even when the game is closed!

The 4 Shops

• Shop 1 - Starter Bakery
• Your first shop
• Moderate earning rate

Low cost to unlock and upgrade

• Best for: Early game foundation
• Shop 2 - Cookie House
• Mid-level establishment
• Better earnings than Shop 1

Requires significant investment

• Best for: Accelerating mid-game progress
• Shop 3 - Advanced Dessert Shop
• High-tier production facility
• Excellent passive income

Expensive but worth it

• Best for: Late-game scaling
• Shop 4 - Ultra-Modern Cookie Complex

Each shop can be upgraded multiple times

• Higher levels: faster bar filling: more money
• Balance unlocking new shops vs. upgrading existing ones
• Tip: Sometimes upgrading Shop 1 three times is better than unlocking Shop 2 once!
• INVESTMENT SYSTEM - HIGH RISK, HIGH REWARD!
• Ready to gamble? The investment system lets you multiply your money... or lose it!

How It Works

• Real Candlestick Charts
• You'll see a live chart with green and red candles
• Green candles: price going UP
• Red candles: price going DOWN

Each investment round lasts 15 seconds

• Place Your Bet
• Decide how much money to invest
• Choose BUY (if you think price will rise) or SELL (if you think price will fall)

Wait 15 seconds for the result

• Win or Lose
• Correct prediction: Your investment DOUBLES!
• Wrong prediction: You LOSE your investment!

Conservative Approach

• Only invest 10-20% of your total money
• Study the chart patterns before betting
• Wait for clear trends (3+ green or red candles)

Invest large amounts for massive gains

• Higher risk: higher reward

Pattern Recognition

• Look for consecutive green/red candles

Consider recent trends

• Remember: markets can reverse suddenly!
• Warning: Never invest money you need for essential upgrades! Only gamble with surplus funds.
