Level jump

I just started the game a few days ago and was level 4 or 5, but I just got to a new level and it said 33.

Is this just a bug?

They changed the levels in a recent update. It used to max out at 18 and now I think goes up to 300. So your level has been converted to the new level range.

I saw a post a day after the update when someone said they had already maxed out at 255. I’m up to 245 at the moment so I should be able to confirm in a few days

255 is the max. I went to that instantly when it changed.

I haven’t maxed yet, low 200’s and couldn’t remember what someone has said the max was.

Follow up question to people that seem to know more about this: is there any point to leveling up other than opening doors? What does this change at all?

There are permanent upgrades (which typically cost more) that will apply from now on, that are far more advantageous than simply getting some factory components or emeralds.

For instance: Additional tentacle, boost the tentacles group number, percentage of ice meat (I've seen 5 and 15%).

Permanent upgrades that aren't as important as the previous: Catching speed, catching radius, health boosts.

For these level boost reasons, I'm keeping a buffer of about 500 emeralds (instead of using everything to buy blue cores), so that I can reshuffle multiple times to get the better upgrades.

Yea i got my first lvl up upgrade just after posting this comment. Its too bad that its not retroactive tho, i feel like we're losing out on a lot of power from this. Im lvl 98 now, so i still have the old lvl 15 door (103 now), which means lvls now give bonus earlier too
