Pre-Infinity Guide

Getting Started

When you first start the game, progress will be slow. You'll see a red circle completing laps and generating small multipliers. The basic income formula is:

(red × orange × yellow × green × turquoise × cyan × blue × purple × pink × white × P.Mult) ^ exponent

Upgrade the red circle to increase Laps/s, which generates more Score (SC) faster. Continue upgrading until you unlock the orange circle at 100 Score.

First Prestige

Keep upgrading circles until you reach approximately 10B Score, which unlocks Prestige. For your first prestige, aim for at least a x10 P.Mult. Your prestige window should show:

P.Exponent: ^1.00 → ^1.03

P.Mult: x1.00 → x11.00

Before prestiging, complete Achievement 2 by ascending a color that has reached its maximum level (click the "A" button).

Path to Promotions

After your first prestige, continue the cycle with these P.Mult targets:

  • Second prestige: ~x50 P.Mult
  • Third prestige: ~x120 P.Mult
  • Fourth prestige: ~x350 P.Mult
  • Fifth prestige: ~x1000 P.Mult (unlocks Promote button)

Promotion Strategy

When you reach x1000 P.Mult, the "Promote!" button will appear. DO NOT PRESTIGE YET. The recommended promotion order is:

  1. #1 (Mults gain mult) → #2 (Laps speed) → #4 (Promotions power) → #3 (Ascension power)

For your first promotion, aim for at least x6 of #1, which requires ~x14k P.Mult.

Infinity & Challenges

After multiple promotions and prestiges, you'll eventually reach 1.79e308 Score and see the "INFINITY REACHED" message. This unlocks the first major prestige layer.

Infinity Upgrade Path

Recommended upgrade path before challenges:

[1;1] → [2;2] → [2;1] → [3;1] → [4;1] → [5;3] → [5;2] → [5;1] → [6;1] → [7;1] → [6;2]

Challenge Guide

Challenges unlock after purchasing [7;1] and provide powerful IP multipliers. Each completed challenge increases your IP multiplier by x1.

Challenge 1

Promotions #2 and #4 are disabled. Relatively straightforward.

Reward: x2 IP multiplier and stronger Promotions #2 and #4

Challenge 2

Ascension Power divided by 4. Focus on promoting #3 after the basics.

Reward: Ascension Power x1.2 and x3 IP multiplier (total)

Challenge 3

0.4 is subtracted from the Exponent. Recommended strategy: Wait 5 minutes, prestige, wait 2 minutes, then promote #1.

Reward: +0.03 to base Exponent and x4 IP multiplier (total)

Challenge 4

All Prestige and Promote gains are powered to ^0.4. Follow the detailed strategy in the full guide.

Reward: +1 level to all promotions after INF and x5 IP multiplier (total)

Break Infinity

After completing all challenges, you can break infinity to surpass the 1.80e308 Score limit. This opens up new upgrades and progression paths.

Post-Break Upgrade Path

[15;2] → [15;1] → [15;3] → [16;1] → [15;4] → [16;2] → [16;3]

When buying generators and upgrades, follow the 3x rule: buy when you have 3x the cost due to the effects of [11;1] and [11;2].

Stars & Eternity

The final upgrade [21;1] unlocks Stars, which generate stardust to boost generators. Continue buying stars and stardust upgrades until you reach 1.80e308 IP, which unlocks Eternity.

Important Warning

Before Eternating, be aware that ETERNITY RESETS AUTOMATIONS! Unlike in Antimatter Dimensions, you'll still be forced to perform the Eternity reset.

Eternity

Congratulations on reaching Eternity! This second major prestige layer resets everything but provides powerful bonuses:

  • x2.00 to mult gain
  • x2.00 to Lap Speed
  • x1.10 to ascension power
  • x2.00 to Infinity gain
  • x2.14 to generators power
  • x10.00 to Stardust gain

Your second Eternity unlocks a crucial QoL feature: automations remain permanent and won't reset with future Eternities.

Eternity Milestones

  • 1 Σ: Unlocks bonuses
  • 2 Σ: Automation is permanent
  • 3 Σ: Unlocks zoo
  • 5 Σ: Buying revolutions no longer takes score
  • 7 Σ: Unlocks Auto IP Adjuster
  • 8 Σ: Unlocks Eternity Challenges (ECs)
  • 12 Σ: Unlocks Auto Buy Infinity Tree
  • 16 Σ: Auto buy Stars, Star and Stardust upgrades, Auto Eternity
  • 32 Σ: Break Eternity
  • 100 Σ: x1.05 to IP gain per ETR (softcapped at 1000)

Further milestones are still being developed.
