Move with WASD or arrows. Shift to sprint (drains stamina).

Click or Space to act: chop trees, mine rock, or weaken a nearby creature.

Weaken a wild creature, then press F (or right-click) to throw a ball and catch it.

E — interact with the Trader / eat food. B — build. C — craft.

Craft an Axe/Pickaxe to gather faster, a Fishing Rod to fish the lake, and a Lantern to see at night.

Cook at a Campfire (build one!) for meals that grant buffs — Well Fed, Energized, Lucky, Rested.

Your lead creature gains XP, levels up and can evolve. You level up too, unlocking perks.

Aggressive creatures & rare glowing Alphas fight back — your lead defends you. Beat them for gold & loot, or catch them.

Spend gold at the Trader (buy / sell). Chase Achievements (J) and the long quest chain.

Explore Emberwastes (desert) & Mirewood (swamp) for new species. Watch for meteor showers & swarms!

Eat before FOOD hits zero — you lose health while starving. Survive the night and shifting weather.

Catch the same species in a row to build a catch chain — it boosts shiny odds & XP. Walking fills an egg that hatches a free creature; every catch has a hidden power % (IV) worth re-rolling.

The further you roam from home, the higher-level & richer the wilds (⚔ tier, top-right). Spend gold in Upgrades (U), clear Daily quests (G), keep your login streak, and hunt the world boss Gloamfang. Ascend for permanent prestige power.
