Start with a clear win condition

The Bazaar rewards boards that point in one direction. Choose an early plan such as ammo weapons, Poison, Burn, economy scaling, Flying, or a Core engine, then cut items that do not help it.

Treat shops as information

A shop is not just a place to spend gold. It tells you whether the run should commit, pivot, or hold resources. Strong players skip mediocre upgrades so they can afford the real payoff later.

Upgrade the engine first

The most important upgrades are usually the item that deals damage, the item that speeds it up, or the item that keeps you alive long enough to use it.
