Quick answer

What you need to know

For a strong start, bank every safe animal, spend early cash on the upgrade that shortens your slowest step, and avoid risking a full run when a nearby egg is easier to secure.

The core loop in four steps

  1. 01

    Break an egg

    Use your pickaxe to open an egg and reveal an animal.

  2. 02

    Take the animal

    Collect the hatch and start the return trip before guards stop you.

  3. 03

    Reach your base

    A run only becomes useful when the animal is safely placed in your base.

  4. 04

    Reinvest the cash

    Use passive earnings to improve speed, pickaxe power and later progression.

Best early upgrade order

There is no universal order because your bottleneck changes as you progress.

  • OKChoose pickaxe power when eggs take too long to break.
  • OKChoose speed when the return route and guard escape cost most of your time.
  • OKImprove your income setup before saving for a cosmetic or marginal upgrade.
  • OKRe-check the live shop before using any price from an older guide.
Source note

The current official Roblox description names speed and pickaxe upgrades but does not publish exact prices or effects.

A safe first-session plan

Treat your first few runs as route tests. Learn where an easy egg sits, which path gives you room around a guard, and how long the full loop takes. Reliable small wins are more useful than repeatedly losing a rare hatch.

Once income is stable, test one upgrade category at a time. If the total run becomes noticeably faster, keep investing there; if not, move to the next bottleneck.
