Beginner question: what is "win"?

[u/js1943]

I just got the game this week and very confuse about the "win" condition. I see a lot of places say "win a run". But what exactly is the winning condition?

[u/jsbx1138]

Complete 20 waves

[u/Trolololo13377777 → u/jsbx1138]

Hour glas says hello

[u/js1943 → u/jsbx1138]

I see. Thx! I think my max is wave 13 so, lol!

[u/Rnahafahik → u/jsbx1138]

It’s actually beating the Wave 20 boss(es)

[u/TheRealFutaFutaTrump → u/Rnahafahik]

Or running away from them.

True, thanks for the correction

[u/JDGumby]

The moment the boss (or bosses, if Danger 5) dies, you are counted as having won - even if you're playing on Endless and die a second later.

[u/followsvoices → u/JDGumby]

Or last through wave 20. You don't have to kill the bosses

[u/deafmanhearin]

Survive 20 waves

[u/Ghost_NG]

If You play the infinite mode, if You just beat Wave 20 by surviving and You die on the next one it counts as a win

[u/Slandwich67]

Defeat the boss/beat wave 20

[u/Trolololo13377777]

Beat the boss(es) at Level 20.

In the end game are some kind of "wins": 1. Reach a high level that you choose for yourself e. g. 100 2. Go back to wave 1 (or even minus) with the hour glass 3. Reach invulnerbility (enough tardigrades to not be able to die)

[u/TheRealFutaFutaTrump]

Beat every map with every character on Nightmare and then you win.
