- New Game Plus: Once you accumulate enough energy, you can reset with meta-energy to increase production or purchase special upgrades.
- Not-Actually-Cosmetic Award: Every achievement provides a beneficial multiplier to something (cost of ball bounce upgrades, cost of energy capacity upgrades, and bubble growth) that goes up with each completion as well as one ruby.
- Play Every Day: There are daily rewards for coming back to the game which can be re-rolled with rubies.
- Premium Currency: Rubies can be bought for real money or earned by getting in-game achievements. They're used for optional upgrades.
