There is no universal fixed order yet: buy for height when you cannot reach a ledge, movement when the return route fails, and income when the next useful purchase takes too long.
Upgrade decision table
| Upgrade | Confirmed role | Buy when | Evidence status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Barbells | Train legs and increase Jump Power | The next platform is out of reach | Named officially; levels and prices not published |
| Trails | Upgradeable progression system | The displayed effect improves your current climb | Named officially; multipliers and prices need shop capture |
| Speed Coils | Upgradeable movement system | You need a more consistent egg-return route | Named officially; tiers and effects need shop capture |
| Animals | Produce money, including offline | Income is the limiting factor | Purpose confirmed; per-animal income not published |
How to diagnose the right purchase
- Attempt the next route without carrying an egg.
- Identify whether the run fails on height, movement, return consistency or cash.
- Buy only the upgrade tied to that failure.
- Repeat the same route to check whether the purchase fixed it.
- Stop buying that category once the route becomes repeatable.
Barbells and Jump Power
Barbells are the clearest height upgrade because the official description directly connects leg training, Jump Power and higher areas. A reliable requirement table must record equipment beside failed and successful route tests.
Trails
Trails are confirmed as upgradeable, but the official public listing does not expose names, prices or multipliers. Third-party tables remain research leads, not verified facts.
Speed Coils
Speed Coils are also confirmed as upgrades. Speed cannot replace missing height: if the first jump fails, train Jump Power before buying movement for the return trip.
Animals as an income upgrade
Animals produce money even while offline. When training purchases become slow, a reachable better egg may improve progression more than saving for an unverified movement tier.
