Token spending priority
Treat tokens as progression fuel. If a purchase does not make future token income easier, delay it until your route is stable.
- Spend early tokens on repeatable gains.
- Record token rates per route during playtest.
- Separate free tokens from Robux products if present.
What needs checking
The game may use tokens, gems, developer products, or multiple reward currencies. The first playtest should document each currency separately.
Quick reference
| Token use | Priority | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Bucket upgrades | High | Improves reward loop |
| Skill tree | High | Unlocks compounding power |
| Cosmetic or optional items | Low early | Does not speed progress |

How do you get tokens fast?
Focus on upgrades that improve the normal drain loop, then compare checkpoint routes for better returns.
Are tokens paid?
The monetization system still needs verification because Game Pass data alone may not show developer products.
