   §Learn the opening controls#

   The opening PC tutorial shows WASD to roll, right-drag to look, and hold Shift to boost. The size ring sits at the bottom left, with stars and purple stardust beside it. The right column contains shop, index, finds, boards, upgrades and settings.

   These keys are verified from the PC recording. Use your platform’s on-screen controls on mobile or console. The official listing supports both, but exact controller mappings have not been verified.

   

2. 02

   Move from small objects to crowded streets

   Collect smaller objects around the park and streets.

   Success check

   Objects attach and the size increases.

   §Move from small objects to crowded streets#

   Start with the small pieces around the grass. Keep moving through objects that attach to your ball. If a target does not stick, collect smaller nearby objects and come back after the size ring grows.

   The reviewed run moves through paths and park areas before town streets. This frame shows a ball at 8.47 studs beside planted rows and a road. It is one recorded route, with upgrades affecting the pace. It is not a mandatory area unlock threshold.

   

3. 03

   Make the first stardust count

   Open upgrades and inspect growth.

   Success check

   The balance and next effect are visible.

   If it remains unclear

   Claim pending index rewards if short of stardust.

   §Make the first stardust count#

   Open upgrades using the green arrow. The panel says stars keep upgrades and stardust, so an early growth level helps later runs too. Compare the next cost with the effect before buying.

   Watch the index button for a claim prompt after collecting new object types. Claiming it adds stardust to reinvest. In the footage, the claim button is separate from simply collecting an object.

4. 04

   Know when the run ends

   Reach the first-star target and inspect the prompt.

   Success check

   The star prompt appears at 50 studs.

   If it remains unclear

   Read the star row if your target differs.

   §Know when the run ends#

   The first-star threshold is 50 studs in the reviewed game. The first-star summary shows a ×1.25 growth multiplier and the next star at 100 studs. A star starts a fresh small-ball run. Read the star guide before resetting.

   If progress slows, check that useful finds are equipped, collect pending index rewards and return to clusters of smaller objects. No guaranteed completion time has been established.
