What skills.exe shows
The official skills screen lists Hand skills Big Pockets 0/3, Quick Grab 1/5, Vacuum Collect 0/1, and Ball Magnet 1/4, plus Ball Pit skill Quick Hands 0/2, and four locked rows marked with question marks. Ball Magnet's visible effect is collect additional nearby balls when picking up a ball, with a balls line from 1 to 3. The same panel shows a level-1 price of 1,00 € and a balance of 0,00 €. That is the only numeric price I will print. Other costs stay blank.
Mighty Hand is fully upgrade all hand skills. Fully equipped is max out every possible upgrade. A new colleague is the first vacuum robot. Those three are on the achievement list. I am not turning the question-mark rows into named skills.
Tools the store and the patches name
The store names a scoop and a flashlight. Achievements and discussions name a ball vacuum and a vacuum robot. Launch notes add a coffee machine, a whiteboard, two hands, and ball vents. Vents still run when every pit is full and store the overflow as bonus balls. A wider range is said to stop the pull from taking balls through walls. Buying order is not published. My own leaning, labeled as a leaning, is light first, then carry size, then speed, because the store talks about staying in the light and about filling pits before the next key. That leaning is not a studio tier list. Beginners can read tips. Pit bugs fixed in November are on ball pits.
