How the big features work
Leaderboards. Clear a round and your time goes on that round's weekly and all-time boards. The first time, you're asked for an optional board name. Weekly boards reset Monday 00:00 Pacific. Check them at the Plaza's LEADERBOARD door.
Ghosts. With Ghost of best run on (Settings), your best run of each round replays as a see-through Block. Beat it to replace it.
TODAY screen. 3 quests a day (same for everyone), a daily streak with one freeze a week, and stickers and stars as rewards. Resets at 00:00 Pacific.
Chapter 1 clues. In Grassland, look for the Sunstone and the clue sign next to it. Stand by the sign to read the clue and add it to your eye counter.
Island sharing. On the 3D Island, tap SHARE. The game copies a link with your island packed inside it (nothing is uploaded). Anyone who opens it walks around a copy.
Relay baton. Publish a level from the Relay Editor and you get a basetopia.xyz/r/CODE link. Whoever holds the baton has their ghost raced by everyone who opens the link. Beat the baton ghost to take the baton. The race card keeps the relay history.
Also live
- Cloud save: in Settings, tap SAVE TO CLOUD for an optional code that keeps your progress across browsers and devices. Use RESTORE with that code on another device. No account.
- Morning Tide: on the 3D Island, something new washes up on your island.
- Island Inspector: on the 3D Island, a star rating and building tips for your island.
