Game speed

Game Speed

Game Speed controls how fast the run simulation advances (`Time.timeScale`).

Base behavior

• Default selectable speed starts at 1x
• Base max speed is 3x
• Speed button cycles upward, then loops back to 1x

How to increase max game speed

Your max speed is:

Max Speed = Base Max + Milestone Bonus + Process Bonus + Game Speed Executable Bonus

Where:

• Base Max = 3
• Milestone Bonus = +1 (if unlocked)
• Process Bonus = +1 (while Game Speed process is active)
• Executable Bonus = sum of active Game Speed Executable values

Milestone unlock

Spoiler: milestone that increases max speed

• MM1-Milestone-Wave1000-Game-Speed
• Effect: permanently increases base max speed by +1

Process bonus

• Process: gameSpeedProcess
• Value: +1 max speed while active

Game Speed Executables

Game Speed Executables add directly to max speed (not standard x-multiplier behavior).

Rarity values:

• Common: +0.05
• Uncommon: +0.10
• Rare: +0.15
• Epic: +0.20
• Legendary: +0.30
• Mythic: +0.40

Notes:

• Multiple active Game Speed executables stack by sum
• Modifiers can increase/decrease executable effect and duration
• Executable slots limit how many can be active at once

Practical examples

• No bonuses: 3.0x max
• Milestone only: 4.0x max
• Milestone + Process: 5.0x max
• Milestone + Process + Legendary Game Speed executable: 5.3x max
• With multiple executables, max can be higher (sum of their values)

Important restrictions

• While paused: speed forced to 0x
• During mini-games: speed forced to 1x
• On end/death screen: speed forced to 0x

So even with high max speed, some game states temporarily override it.

QoL notes

• Your selected speed is saved between runs
• If max speed is fractional (from executables), cycling can land exactly on that fractional cap before looping
