How To Play
Part 1: How To Play

Step 0: Run the game
Step 1: Click the 'Play' button in the main menu
Step 2: Click the 'Press Me!' button in the center of the screen
Step 3: Repeat 'Step 2' ~10-250 times
Step 4: Upgrade your CPS
Step 5: Continue steps 2,3, and 4 until you are satisfied with your number of clicks
Optimizing Game Play (Sweating)
Part 2: Optimizing Game Play (Sweating)

In this part of the guide I will show you how to most optimally spend your clicks to get the most amount of CPS.

Math Formula:
X=cost of upgrade
Y=end result

Upgrade #1
Multiply the cost of the upgrade by 8
If the cost is more than Upgrade #3 then don't buy it
Buy Upgrade #3 instead until Upgrade #3 is more expensive than said number
Ex. X*8=Y

Upgrade #2
Multiply the cost of the upgrade by 2.5
If the cost is more than Upgrade #3 then don't buy it
Buy Upgrade #3 instead until Upgrade #3 is more expensive than said number
Ex. X*2.5=Y

League Upgrades
Take the amount of league progress you need (1 million/10 million)
Divide (1 million/10 million) by your CPS and divide by 60, then divide by 60, then that's how many hours it will take to upgrade leagues
Ex. 1,000,000÷16.25=61,538.4615
61,538.4615÷60=1025.64103
1025.64103÷60=17.0940171

17.0940171 Hours until upgrading league is available
(Setting a timer is optional)
Bugs
Part 3: Bugs

Annoying Stuff
UI bug - Upgrades don't show commas when going over one thousand
UI bug - Customization button and the upgrades button are off center of the main upgrades panel
Visual bug - Progress bar for going to the next league doesn't show progress

Bugs
Gameplay Bug - When upgrading to diamond league no reset occurs for the score
UI bug - Reset Data buttton doesn't work
UI bug - Sometimes the drop down for selecting Backgrounds, Sound Effects, and Buttons, doesn't respond to clicking it
UI bug - Leader board scores don't go above 2.14 billion

Fixed
Visual bug - Valentines Day background is obstructing text
Audio bug - When 'sound' slider is off opening music still plays when you launch the game
UI bug - 'Play' button has an artifacting issue
UI bug - 'Exit' button text is off center
UI bug - Upgrades are free
UI bug - If you click the button and check your leaderboard place it doesn't automatically update
Story Mode Movement Test
Story Mode Movement Test

The Story Mode Movement Test can be found by clicking a button labeled 'STORY MODE TEST!', upon joining the movement test the voice line will be repeated to you "Hello, welcome to the story mode movement test, this is not a final product, if you find any issues or anything, go to our Discord, thank you."; After or during this message is played you can move using the A, D, Space, and Control keys on your keyboard, as of now (June 26th, 2022) these can not be changed. After learning the basics of how the game works you can advance into seeing 5 types of blocks each, the 5 main blocks include:
Slippery Blocks
Base Blocks
Death Blocks
Air Blocks
Gate Blocks

These 5 blocks all come in 18 different states, these include:
Base
Base Top
Base Bottom
Base Left
Base Right
Base Top and Left Corner
Base Top and Right Corner
Base Bottom and Left Corner
Base Bottom and Right Corner
Base Single
Base Top Left Edge
Base Bottom Left Edge
Base Top Right Edge
Base Bottom Right Edge
Sloped Up Left
Sloped Up Right
Sloped Down Left
Sloped Down Right

The first block, Base Blocks, these blocks you will come in contact with when you first spawn into the game, these aren't very special, they are just blocks that stop you from going places and help you stand.
The second block you probably send your attention to is the Death Block, self explanatory right? You stand/touch them and you die pretty simple.
The third block you will see is the Slippery Block as the name also suggests, its slippery, on sloped slippery blocks sliding down them is quite a bit faster than running on them.
The fourth block you'll find is the Gate Block, its only opened by clicking a button opening said gate.
The fifth block is the Air Block, you cant see it but its just a place holder block that doesn't do anything as of now.

Speed-running
Speed-running has been a thing since the Movement Test came out, speed-runners such as:
4LTN#7251
SkiSky#2389
klof44#6612
InverseTeardrop#2646
╠╦╩╗Maffin╔╩╦╣#1101

Speed-runs have been traded back and forth through out the passing weeks of the release, all speed-runners have the DLC bought due to the increase of version updates making it easier to find glitches. One of the most prominent glitch hunters is SkiSky#2389, discovering many glitches such as:
Fast wall climb (before nerf, patched)
Fast wall climb (after nerf)
Fast wall climb V2 (after nerf)
Block Phasing
Blind Start
Button/Wall jump Skip (patched)
Reset Skip

One of the speed-runners, 4LTN, is the best speed-runner out of the current speed-runners as he has very good consistency in many aspects of the game. SkiSky is another great speed-runner however due to the lack of average skill in the game his times suffer every run. Inverse is another great speed-runner however doesn't post many runs and lacks in overall experience. klof44 is a speed-runner that hasn't posted much but has a good grasp on overall game mechanics. Maffin is the lead developer and posted some meme runs such as: Ball% which was a inf-dev version of the DLC Movement test that was only released to the public for a short while, Inverse also took a try at this meme speed-run.
