At least 50 stages will be included at launch spanning an eclectic range of gaming genres including karting, fishing, archery, typing, photography, dating sims, monster catching and many more.
Players compete against the clock through as many stages as they can before their lives run out. Unlockable Mod Stones act as buffs/debuffs which make each run through different, some Mod Stones add extra lives, others affect the combo multiplier or the game speed.
A career screen tracks players’ high scores, medals and achievement progress for each stage and the leaderboard shows how well the player has done compared to the whole world or their Steam friends.
Coins are littered throughout the stages which can be used to purchase customisation items and also hints and tips from other players. These tips might be useful, or they may just be for trolling, either way they lead players to experiment in different ways to approach the stages. XP progression adds a further dynamic to the game which comes with its own set of unlockable rewards.

At least 50 stages to master, with each stage full of references, homages, ridiculous humour
