Upgrading Auto Ovens: Each oven has multiple levels (Level 1, 2, 3, etc.) Higher levels = more cookies per second Costs increase with each level Balance purchases between new ovens and upgrading existing ones 🏪 SHOP SYSTEM Build your cookie empire with 4 different shops! How Shops Work: Each shop has a rotating progress bar on top The bar fills up over time (duration varies by shop level) When the bar completes, money is added to your account The bar immediately resets and starts filling again Shops earn money even when the game is closed! 📴 The 4 Shops: 🏪 Shop 1 - Starter Bakery Your first shop Moderate earning rate Low cost to unlock and upgrade Best for: Early game foundation 🏪 Shop 2 - Cookie House Mid-level establishment Better earnings than Shop 1 Requires significant investment Best for: Accelerating mid-game progress 🏪 Shop 3 - Advanced Dessert Shop High-tier production facility Excellent passive income Expensive but worth it Best for: Late-game scaling 🏪 Shop 4 - Ultra-Modern Cookie Complex Ultimate money-making machine Massive passive earnings Very expensive to unlock and upgrade Best for: Becoming a true tycoon!

The investment system lets you multiply your money... or lose it! How It Works: 1. Real Candlestick Charts You'll see a live chart with green and red candles Green candles = price going UP 📈 Red candles = price going DOWN 📉 Each investment round lasts 15 seconds 2. Place Your Bet Decide how much money to invest Choose BUY (if you think price will rise) or SELL (if you think price will fall) Wait 15 seconds for the result 3. Win or Lose ✅ Correct prediction: Your investment DOUBLES! 💰💰 ❌ Wrong prediction: You LOSE your investment! 💸 Investment Strategies: Conservative Approach: Only invest 10-20% of your total money Study the chart patterns before betting Wait for clear trends (3+ green or red candles) Aggressive Approach: Invest large amounts for massive gains Higher risk = higher reward Best when you have substantial backup funds Pattern Recognition: Look for consecutive green/red candles Consider recent trends Remember: markets can reverse suddenly! 💡 Warning: Never invest money you need for essential upgrades!
