"Token" system used to buy upgrades for your characters. Prices range from $1.39 CAD to $5.49 CAD.

You can pay for "Tokens" to upgrade your character, however does not give you an advantage against other players as this game has no online aspect.

Cannot save while playing.
Gambling / Loot Boxes reported on Jan 8, 2023
"Chests" function to unlock new characters.
Illusion of Control reported on Jan 8, 2023
After a certain objective is completed, it tells you "You were better than X% of players!" This is false and could not be true, as the game does not require internet.
Variable Rewards reported on Jan 8, 2023
Open a "Chest" after a certain objective is reached. Said chests claim to have a percentage to give you a new character to play as. These claims are probably misleading.
