🔓 How to Unlock New Characters
New characters are unlocked by completing levels for the first time. Each time you progress and finish an existing level, you unlock blueprints to build new buildings at your base.
Some of these blueprints are for houses that house the characters. Simply play and complete each level with a character who hasn't finished it before, and you'll unlock blueprints. Then, build the character's house and place it in your base to unlock them as playable.
🎮 Character Combinations
Eventually, you unlock the ability to use two characters at once, and combining their unique balls and abilities to create powerful combos is some of the most fun the game offers!
