This game has steam item drops enabled, meaning that you can get items for free, which you can use in-game, trade or sell for steam cash on the community market.

Key details:

• Every 48 hours you can get up to 3* sticker packs.
  
• You may get the first pack immediately after starting the game.
  
• To get a pack if eligible, press "play". You will get the item immediately. An icon on the top right will also notify you that you received a pack.
  
• You have to idle the game 10-20 minutes to be allowed another pack (I recommend waiting in the main menu)**.
  
• You won't get a new pack in the same session (one "session" is from starting the game to quitting it)

*This may change - if you manage to get more, let me know so I can update the guide.
**Time only counts when the game is running! This means that you either need to have the game running on your computer or simulate it. If you have ASF, you can add the GameID 614910 to the collection GamesPlayedWhileIdle in the respective bot config tab.


Items which were obtained by opening packs. Packs will tell you how many items they will generate. All generated items can also be traded or sold.

You can then open the pack or sell it right away, items included in the pack may also be sold. Stickers can be used to decorate the bottom right of your screen while playing, but are more commonly used in inventory showcases, which is also why some are worth up to 1-2$ (and are actually bought at that price, speaking from experience with the market)

You can recycle any items (except packs) to receive a Sticker Fragment. Note that this item cannot be traded or sold, so don't recycle something of value or that you want to keep!

These are the conversion rules:

• 1 Item ➜ 1 Sticker Fragment
  
• 5 Sticker Fragments ➜ 1 Token
  
• 10 Tokens ➜ Rare Packs(s)

Although not confirmed, I assume rare packs are those not found in circulation anymore (= no longer drop by pressing play).

You get more than half of all current achievements by just starting up the game.

The rest of the achievements are awarded simply by playing, and it's very easy to reach the required 2000 points. If you still have trouble reaching 100%, look in the tips and tricks for full game controls.

This is the last achievement.

Here are the complete controls, as they sometimes aren't self-explanatory.

• Drag a piece from the field in the bottom on the field, and let go to place it there.
  
• To rotate a 2x1 tile (two cakes next to each other in the bottom field), click on it.
  
• If three cakes of the same kind touch (diagonally does not count!), they will merge into one cake of the next level.
  
• Cakes will merge into the most recently placed/merged into tile.
  
• When three last-stage cakes ("bear") touch, they will merge and the tile they merge to will kill all cakes in a 3x3 radius explosion.
  
• Goal is to simply get the highest possible score.
  
• You lose when the field is completely filled.
