01 / Keep the wheels turning
A little help for the little bot.
On iPhone, drag in the lower play area to move Pip. Weapons fire automatically. Collect salvage, choose upgrades, and build your parade of weapon carts.
How do I pause or leave a run?
Tap Pause to open Intermission. Choose Back to the Parade to resume, or Save & Return to Title to leave the run. Choose Continue Parade on the title screen when you’re ready to return.
Where are the sound and comfort settings?
Open Settings from the title screen or Intermission. Sound Effects and Music have separate switches. You can also adjust Phone Vibration, Reduced Motion, and Deploy When Resting.
Do I need an account or an internet connection?
No game account is required. Gameplay and saves run locally on your device. Apple's startup age-assurance check may require a connection where applicable. If a required check cannot finish, the game shows a Retry screen. Visiting this website or sending support email also needs an internet connection.
02 / Keep what you earn
Your parade. Your progress.
Your run saves automatically during play, when choosing upgrades, and when pausing. Use Save & Return to Title when leaving a run, then Continue Parade to pick it up again.
What does New Parade reset?
New Parade replaces your current run. Your Workshop collection, discovered-machine records, earned outfits, settings, and best score remain. Defeat or victory also ends the current run, while earned collection progress stays with you.
Can I move my progress to another device?
Progress is stored locally on your device. The game currently has no built-in cloud-save or cross-device transfer feature.
03 / A quick tune-up
If something goes sideways.
The game froze, closed, or a control stopped responding.
If the game still responds, pause and choose Save & Return to Title, then reopen it and choose Continue Parade. If it is unresponsive or the problem returns, contact support. Include what happened just before the issue and whether you had switched apps or locked your phone. Keep the app installed.
There’s no sound or music.
Check the separate Sound Effects and Music switches in Settings, then your iPhone’s volume and audio output, including connected headphones. If the problem started after an interruption, mention that in your support email.
My progress looks wrong or my saved run is missing.
Keep the app installed and contact support before starting a new parade or repeatedly trying to load the save. Describe what you expected to see and what changed. Please don’t delete the app or clear its data as a troubleshooting step.
04 / Send a note to the workshop
Help me find the loose bolt.
Email eric@erichubbard.net with a description of the problem. These details help:
- Your iPhone model and iOS version.
- The game version, shown on the title screen beside your best score and run count.
- What you were doing, what you expected, and what happened instead.
- Whether it happens again, plus a screenshot if useful.
Suggestions and general feedback are welcome too.
