Escape the Walls
Grow the CCU's co-op incremental hit — you wake up trapped behind giant walls and the only way out is through. Smash bricks, vacuum up the rubble, cash it in for stronger tools and break into the next room, solo or with up to 3 friends.
Codes: one code is circulating — RELEASE for free Gems (redeem from the code box in the menu or Settings). The game's own description doesn't advertise codes, so if it fails it's already expired; nothing is lost by trying.
The loop
Each room is the same rhythm — break, vacuum, deposit, upgrade. The walls just get thicker.
- 1Smash the wall
Hold your tool on the wall until blocks break loose. Every hit is progress — the wall has a fixed block count, not a puzzle.
- 2Vacuum the rubble
Broken blocks become cubes you vacuum up. Your bag fills fast, so don't over-haul before depositing.
- 3Deposit for Money
Carry collected cubes to the deposit belt to convert them into cash — the currency that buys the whole progression.
- 4Upgrade tools & storage
Money buys the next tool tier and bigger storage; blue blocks fund research boosts. A better tool is worth more than another bag upgrade once you can one-cycle a wall.
- 5Into the next room
Breaking through moves you to a new room with a bigger wall. There are 9 walls in total — the run ends at the Gold Vault, and finishing pays Gems toward your best time.
Tools, classes and gems
| Know this | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Tool ladder | Pickaxe → Shovel → Drill → Jackhammer — each tier breaks blocks faster, which is the only real gate on later walls |
| Classes | Unlockable classes add passive perks — check what yours does before a run, some lean into speed, some into yield |
| Gems | Earned from successful escapes (and the code above) — spent on the premium side of progression |
| Best time | Escapes are timed; replaying for a faster clear is the endgame loop once you reach the Gold Vault |
| Co-op | Up to 4 players share a run — more hands on a wall means faster rooms, and it's the intended way to play |
First-run tips
Tool before bag
Breaking blocks faster beats carrying more of them — if you can afford either, take the tool upgrade first.
Spend the blue blocks
Blue blocks fund research boosts, and sitting on them does nothing. Check the research option whenever a room feels slow.
Deposit early, deposit often
There's no bonus for a full bag — short trips back to the belt keep cash flowing and upgrades coming.
Play the multiplayer bonus
The game supports up to 4 players and walls don't scale with party size — a duo clears meaningfully faster than solo.

Nine walls in total, ending at the Gold Vault. Each room is one wall — break it and you move on.
Can you play solo?
Yes. The game supports 1–4 players and nothing is co-op-only — solo runs are just slower.
What's the best tool?
The Jackhammer is the top of the ladder (Pickaxe → Shovel → Drill → Jackhammer). Prioritize climbing it over storage upgrades.
