Latest official news: Patch 1.0.1
From shift 9 on every shift costs 1 sextillion ($1Sx), or less with Market Maker, so the last prestige nodes are reachable after the ending. Adds a Readable Font option, reworks colorblind mode to swap colours, and fixes overlapping Vietnamese and Thai text. Every update →
How this wiki marks its facts
Marks follow each fact: confirmed means the store page, official notes, a developer reply or a recording of the game shows it; reported means two or more players say so; unverified means one source only. Numbers come from version 1.0 and 1.0.1; older values from pre-release keys are labelled as version notes. How the wiki is made →
