Demo loop
Five milestones to keep the run clean
Start the colony
Buy the first cheap foods, place them close together, and keep the worms eating without long travel gaps.
Push production higher
Add worms, then upgrade speed, appetite, digestion, and resource production when the table starts stalling.
Open the skill tree
Spend Colony Points on active abilities and worker-style upgrades that make the colony less click-heavy.
Consume the colony
Reset only when the next run will clearly pass your current wall faster with permanent upgrades.
Watch automation gaps
The current demo is click-heavy; auto-buyer, area effects, and worker ideas are recurring player requests.
Guide-side estimator
Profit per minute
Compare upgrades without pretending the demo formula is final.
Next worm adds about $150 gross per minute. A 5% broad upgrade adds about $45.
