## Your character

Every player has a character, dressed in the studio at https://sidekickarcade.com/avatar/ ([details](https://sidekickarcade.com/avatar/index.md)).

## Coins

Coins are earned by playing and spent on the character. They can never be bought with money.

- Each finished run pays 1 coin per 20 seconds of play (up to 5), plus coins for the game's goal
  (each game's page says how many), plus 3 for beating a best score. A run under 8 seconds that
  scored nothing pays nothing.
- Achievements pay their own coins, once each.
- A daily bonus: 10 coins on day 1 of a streak, 5 more each day in a row, up to 40 on day 7.
- A first visit starts with a 50-coin welcome gift.
- Progress (coins, items, achievements, the character and settings) lives in the player's browser, and an optional account (a passkey, no email or name) syncs it across devices.
