The questions people ask most, then an email address if yours is not here.

How do I place a part?

Tap a part at the bottom of the screen, then tap a gold pad on the board. The number under each part is what it costs in power.

How do I make a circuit?

Tap a part, then tap a tower that's already on the board. You see what it will turn into first. Tap the tower again to build it.

Any two different parts make a circuit. The Circuits button shows the ones you've found and what each one does.

How do I see what a tower does?

Tap it. The game slows way down while the card is open. The card shows what the tower does, its level, its power and what the real part does.

What is blowing a fuse?

Tap a part, then tap the path. The part blows like a fuse and hits everything near it. A bigger part makes a bigger blast.

How do stars and upgrades work?

Each level has three stars: one for clearing it, one for keeping the overclock dial at 2× or higher the whole time, and one for that level's challenge.

Spend them on the Upgrades screen. Each part has its own track, and circuits get the upgrades of both their parts.

What is the Daily Board?

A new board every day, the same for everyone. Your first run that day is your score and keeps your streak going. Runs after that are practice and don't change it.

I paid to remove ads. How do I get that on a new phone?

Sign into the same Google or Apple account on the new phone, open the game, and tap Restore purchases in the menu.

Where is my progress saved?

On your device, inside the game. There's no account, so there's nothing on our side to move or restore.

Still stuck?
