Three ways to play
Local Mode is the default and lightest experience: no sign-in and no cloud sync waits. Choose Smooth Play Mode only when you want automatic backups and friend visits. Ranked Mode uses a separate server-run shop for fair competition.
Where your progress lives
Local progress stays in this browser. Smooth Play Mode can back up your existing local shop after you choose it; your original local save stays separate. Ranked shops start fresh unless an existing cloud shop uses its one-time migration choice. Smooth Play money and items cannot enter fair rankings.
Backups, friends and rankings
Local: browser saves, backup files and codes. Smooth Play: local play plus automatic cloud backups and friend visits. Ranked: server-run progress and optional weekly ranking visibility. Visits are read-only and casual visits show the latest sync time. Entertainment rankings are not open.
Choose when you are ready
You do not need to sign in to play locally, and we do not ask you to sign in during normal play. Open Shops & friends → Enable backups with Google to choose cloud backup. Existing cloud shops get a one-time choice between Smooth Play and Ranked; waiting keeps their current mode. New ranked access is temporarily unavailable in Vietnam except for the existing-shop choice and retained eligibility.
Simulated delivery orders
Delivery orders and customer reviews inside the game are simulated. They are unrelated to signing in or other players placing real orders. Friends can visit a shop summary, not control it.
A second shop and archive deadlines
After a ranked owner chooses to open a fresh second shop in Smooth Play, the retained ranked shop is archived after 14 days without ranked gameplay. The ranked archive, including its recovery copies, is permanently deleted after 90 days from archiving and can no longer be restored in the game. Restoring before the deadline cancels that deletion countdown and starts a new 14-day inactivity period. Signing in, visiting shops, cosmetic changes and Smooth Play do not extend ranked activity. This rule does not delete the Smooth Play shop, Local shop, account, friends or privacy settings.
Open Shops & friends → Shops to open the new shop or restore an archive before its displayed deletion date. The new Smooth Play shop starts on day 1 with 400k; it does not copy ranked money or items. While the ranked shop is archived, permitted visitors see your latest Smooth Play backup. Archives are processed by hourly maintenance, never before 14 full days without ranked gameplay.
Choose a mode for what you need
| You want | Choose | Remember |
|---|---|---|
| Quick play without signing up | Local Mode | Keep an exported file or code before switching browsers. |
| Your current shop with a cloud copy | Smooth Play | Sign in when you choose backups; wait for Backed up before moving devices. |
| Competition using server-verified scores | A separate Ranked shop | Opening depends on account eligibility; Smooth Play progress does not become ranked points. |
You do not need to change modes just to play on a phone. Adding a Home Screen icon gives you quick access without enabling backups. For a device change, read the save-transfer steps first.
