01 / THE GUIDE
Compare Campaign Challenges
Play two distinct Campaign levels back‑to‑back, noting how the Proletaricat’s objectives differ. Record which animal feels most effective for each condition, such as vegetarian diets versus bear protection.
- Observe the challenge description before starting to plan your approach.
- Try different animal choices to see which abilities align best with each level’s goals.

Score Patterns in Endless Mode
Run several Endless sessions, tracking when the difficulty algorithm spikes. Observe how using high‑value items like toxic chocolate influences the score curve compared to safer play.
- Focus on high‑value items early to build a score cushion.
- Watch how the difficulty algorithm reacts to your actions for better pacing.

Critter Visual Impact
Switch between unlockable critters in the same level to see how their designs affect your perception of the environment and any subtle animation cues that may aid navigation.
- Try each unlockable to see how each critter looks and plays.
- Mix and match critters with challenges to see which combinations feel most natural.

System Interaction Tests
Deliberately combine two simulated systems—such as feeding vodka to a rival and then triggering a fire bark—to note the resulting effects and point outcomes.
- Experiment with combining food items and environmental hazards for unexpected effects.
- Consider the point value of risky actions versus safer, steady scoring.
