Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about playing, saving, the launcher, and the game itself.
General
Is it really free?
Yes — completely free, with no ads and no purchases. It's a passion project.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It runs right in your browser. A Windows launcher is also available if you'd prefer a desktop app with offline play and auto-updates.
What platforms can I play on?
Any modern browser on desktop or mobile. The standalone launcher is Windows-only.
Can I play on mobile?
Yes. The layout is touch-friendly and works on phones and tablets — tap to blend, just like clicking on desktop. The website always serves the latest version, which adapts to smaller screens.
Do I need an account?
Nope — no sign-up, no login. Just open the game and start blending. Your progress lives right in your browser.
What is the launcher for?
It's an optional desktop app that manages game versions, lets you play offline, and keeps both the game and itself up to date automatically.
Does the launcher cost anything?
No — the launcher is free too. It just adds offline play, version management, and automatic updates.
Why is the launcher Windows-only?
The desktop launcher is a Windows app. On any other system, the browser version plays exactly the same — no install needed.
How do I get the latest version?
The browser game is always current. The launcher updates both itself and the game automatically, or you can grab builds from the releases page.
Are there more updates coming?
Yes — it's actively worked on, with new upgrades, mechanics, and balance tweaks rolling out. Watch the releases page to keep up.
How do I report a bug or suggest an idea?
Head to the GitHub repo and open an issue — reproduction steps and screenshots help a ton. Feedback is always welcome.
Saves & progress
Does my progress save?
Yes. The game auto-saves to your browser, so you can close the tab and pick up right where you left off. You can also press Ctrl+S to save manually.
Can I back up or move my save?
Settings includes export and import, so you can save a backup file (or code) and carry your progress to another device.
Could clearing my browser data wipe my save?
Yes — the save is stored locally, so clearing site data resets it. Export a backup first; the desktop launcher keeps things tidier if you want a more permanent setup.
How do I reset my progress?
Each save is independent. To wipe one, use the Delete button next to it in the main-menu save list, then start a new game. There's no undo, so export a backup first if you're unsure.
Gameplay
How do I earn money faster?
Stack upgrades for a bigger payout per blend, then hire employees so the cash keeps flowing even when you're not clicking. Keep an eye on the $/s readout and buy whatever raises it most.
What are special outcomes?
Lucky blends — Crusty, Creamy, Decorated, Baked, Swirled, Golden, and more — that pay bonus cash or boost your rating. Rarer ones pay far more, and effects can stack on a single shake.
Can blending be automated?
Yes. Enable Auto Blend with the button in the top-left corner. Blend-time upgrades apply to both automatic and manual blending.
What are flavor combos?
When the specific flavors a combo needs are all active in the blender at the same time, you get a flat income multiplier. There are 25 combos, from +10% to +100%.
Does spending XP lower my level?
No. Your level is driven by lifetime XP, so spending XP on research or staff training never costs you a level.
What does the shake price control do?
Unlocked at Level 7, it lets you set your selling price. Higher prices earn more per sale but can weigh on your customer rating; lower prices do the reverse. It feeds into reviews and demand.
Is there offline income?
Yes — the Shift Manager upgrade lets your shop keep earning while you're away, so you come back to a pile of cash.
Are there keyboard shortcuts?
Space or ESC pauses the game, and Ctrl+S saves manually.
Is there an end goal?
It's open-ended — keep upgrading, hiring, and expanding to grow your empire as large as you like. New content arrives over time.
