Excavation Mini-Game - dig a tile grid with chisels, shovels, bombs, and scanners to uncover fossils, treasure chests, and timed bonuses in a fully separate economy. Seagull Events - catch random seagulls for diverse rewards including currencies, eggs, pet food, temp boosts, and more. Pile up offline, release on return. 11 Unique Fishing Zones - from Ocean and Swamp to Moon and Mars, each with its own fish pool across 6 rarities to discover and collect. Fishing Contest - weekly challenge mode with skill-based levels. Earn medals, climb packs, and claim legendary rewards. Chest Hunt - a risk/reward mini-game where streaks build multipliers and gem savers keep you in the game. 31 Buildings - buy and upgrade a full tier of income generators that scale your passive earnings and offline haul.
