Gameplay Mechanics

The Melky/Sandbox has 2 sub areas. The Beanstalk and the Castle in the Clouds.

The Beanstalk

The Beanstalk is separated into "zones" which are each 20 hunts long.

The type of zone (Standard, Super, Extreme, or Ultimate) determines how many Magic Beans will drop per catch. Condensed Creativity doubles loot drops of Magic Beans.

Loot Multiplier on the Beanstalk

Zone Loot Multiplier Burning
Condensed Creativity
Standard Zone 1x 2x
Super Zone 2x 4x
Extreme Zone 4x 8x
Ultimate Zone 8x 16x

At the end of each zone, you'll encounter the guardian of the stalk, Vinneus Stalkhome.

Defeating Vinneus Stalkhome will reward one Fabled Fertilizer and send you up to the next zone.

If you have collected enough Fabled Fertilizers you can plant a vine to one of the rooms into the Castle in the Clouds

The Castle in the Clouds

There are 3 floors in the Castle in the Clouds, the Dungeon Floor, the Ballroom Floor, and the Great Hall Floor.
Each floor consists of "rooms" that are each 20 hunts long. The type of room (Standard, Super, Extreme, or Ultimate) determines which items the mice will drop, how many items the mice drop per catch and how much Noise is added to the Noise Meter.
Each piece of loot raises the Noise Meter by one so your Loot Multiplier is how much Noise you will make per catch.
Failing to catch a mouse adds half of the total Loot Multiplier of Noise to the Noise Meter.
If you reach the end of a room with a full Noise Meter then the Giant will awaken and chase you out. At the end of the chase, you will encounter the Giant until you defeat it. The Giant Chase adds a 2x additional loot multiplier.
Defeating the Giant will reward Fabled Fertilizer and send you back to the Beanstalk.
