- 1
Learn the core loop first
Open [Getting Started](/guides/getting-started/) and [How to Play](/guides/how-to-play/) for mouse controls, stamina, piggy spawns, bill timers, and perks. The free demo still teaches habits that transfer to the live Steam full game.

Read piggy routes before chasing jackpots
The [Piggy Types](/guides/piggy-types/) guide explains Normalito, Tourist, Woody, Piñata, El Loco, Taurus, and jackpot timing. Pair it with [Rare Coins](/guides/rare-coins/) so collection goals do not steal bill money.

Pay bills before the collector snowballs
Use [How to Pay Bills](/guides/how-to-pay-bills/) to decide when to interrupt a good money streak and when a short delay is worth the upgrade you are chasing. Overdue bills trigger the debt collector.

Layer on full-release systems
After the demo loop clicks, read [Launch Week Guide](/updates/launch-week-guide/), [Post-Launch Notes](/updates/post-launch-notes/), [Prestige System](/updates/prestige-system/), and [Desk Gadgets](/updates/desk-gadgets/) for full-release systems and launch-week pricing.
