A creator walkthrough of the same systems this guide describes in text: the team screen, how classes sit together, and where the early upgrade currency goes. Useful if you would rather be shown the menus than read them.
The core loop
- Build a team of up to 12 Cookies and drop into survivor-style maps.
- Cookies attack automatically and periodically fire their skills — your job is positioning: move the team to dodge, group enemies, and survive the swarm.
- Clear waves and bosses (like Giant Goldie Drop) to earn upgrades and currency.
The four roles
Every Cookie is a Charge, Tank, Ranged or Support. A balanced team wants a frontline, a survivability anchor, and ranged damage. Full breakdown in our classes guide.
Game modes
- Survivor idle maps — the main horde-survivor stages.
- Crumble Dungeon — progression / farming content.
- Implant Tower — a climb for rewards.
- Arena (PvP) — competitive team battles.
- Guild features for group play.
