Your First Hour in the Game - Tap Simulator REBORN Wiki
A practical walkthrough of your first session, from picking a starter pet to unlocking your second island.
Overview
This beginner walkthrough covers the first hour of Tap Simulator REBORN, the Roblox incremental simulator by Cursor Makers. You will learn the core tap-to-Coins loop, how eggs turn savings into pets, when to push your first rebirth, and which rebirth upgrades matter most before you ever touch a portal.
Watch the Full Guide in Action
Prefer to see the route before walking it? This full gameplay walkthrough follows the same order as this guide: starter pet, first eggs, first rebirth, and the bridge out of the spawn area. Watching someone else hesitate at the island portals is a great way to avoid the same Coin traps yourself.
The First-Hour Route
The game does not force a tutorial on you, so the first hour is about building good habits in the right order. Follow the five steps below exactly as written and you will reach your first rebirth with a healthy Coin buffer instead of a wasted grind.
Each step builds on the last one, so resist the urge to skip ahead to portal fees. Players who rush islands early often stall with weak pets and no Gems, then have to grind twice as long to recover.
Pick a Starter Pet and Tap Everywhere
Choose any starter pet (the Dog is a solid pick) and tap the screen to earn Coins. Tapping anywhere counts, so tap while you walk. Your pet multiplies every Coin you earn, which is why the earliest minutes matter.
Buy Your First Eggs
Spend Coins on the cheapest egg near spawn until you have three or four pets equipped. Hatch results are random, but any new pet that out-multiplies your weakest equipped one is an instant income upgrade.
Take Your First Rebirth
Open the rebirth interface once you can cover the Coin requirement. Rebirth converts your wallet into Gems plus a permanent tap multiplier, and it never deletes pets, islands, or progress systems.
Invest Gems in Auto Clicker
Put your first Gems into the Auto Clicker node of the Gem skill tree before anything else. It earns while you plan, and community guides consistently rank it the best first purchase of a new save.
Cross the 700 Tap Power Bridge
With auto-clicking running, push your Tap Power past 700 and cross the bridge behind spawn. The Spike Egg on the other side is your first real upgrade egg.
Understanding Coins, Gems, and Rebirths
Coins are the everyday currency: taps, pet multipliers, and chests all feed the same wallet, and eggs plus portal fees drain it. Gems only come from rebirths, and they buy permanent nodes in the Gem skill tree. Because rebirths wipe your Coin balance but nothing else, the smart rhythm is to spend Coins down to a safe buffer, then rebirth immediately.
This is also why the rebirth guide tells you to treat every Coin you hold as fuel rather than savings. A wallet sitting idle does nothing; a wallet converted into Gems and multipliers makes every future tap stronger.
Early Mistakes That Cost Hours
Most slow starts trace back to the same four mistakes. Each one feels reasonable in the moment, which is exactly why they spread. Check yourself against this list before you buy anything during your first session.
Saving Coins Forever
Hoarding Coins for a far-off portal starves your egg income. Pets multiply everything, so an early hatch usually repays itself before the portal fee matters.
Ignoring Tap Upgrades
Coin upgrades that raise raw tap output apply to every future tap. Fund them before luxury hatching, exactly as the pet progression guide recommends.
Farming a Weak Egg Too Long
Once a stronger egg is affordable, the old one is dead weight. Move up as soon as the multiplier gain is clear instead of chasing perfect rolls from a stale pool.
Buying Gamepasses on Day One
Check the gamepass value guide first. Most passes are multipliers on systems you have not unlocked yet.
Where to Go After the First Hour
Once Auto Clicker is running and the Spike Egg is in reach, your session shifts from learning to optimizing. Head to the islands guide for the full unlock order, or study the pet tier list to see which hatches are worth chasing at your stage.
Codes are also worth a bookmark. The redemption system exists in Settings but was not yet live in October 2026 checks, so keep the codes page handy and check back after each update drops.
Session Checklist
Before you log off each day, run this five-point checklist. It takes less than a minute and guarantees that tomorrow's session starts with income already flowing rather than a cold restart.
- Auto Clicker Gem node purchased and active
- Every equipped pet slot holding your strongest available hatch
- Coin buffer spent down close to the next rebirth requirement
- New egg tier checked against your current income rate
- Shiny Stars and event content scanned for anything time-limited
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Tap Simulator REBORN free to play?
Yes. The game is completely free on Roblox and every system is reachable without Robux. Gamepasses only accelerate hatching and storage, and our F2P luck guide covers the free alternatives.
Which starter pet should I choose?
The difference is minor and temporary. Community players commonly pick the Dog, but any starter works because you will replace it with an egg hatch within your first half hour of tapping.
Does rebirth delete my pets?
No. Rebirth spends only the Coins you are holding. Pets, pet variants, inventory, unlocked islands, Shiny Stars, and purchased Gem upgrades all survive every rebirth.
What are Gems used for?
Gems buy nodes in the Gem skill tree, with Auto Clicker widely recommended as the first purchase. Each node permanently improves future Coin generation, which compounds across every rebirth.
How many players can join one server?
Servers hold up to 10 players. The game is fully playable solo, and tapping progress is not shared, so a busy server changes nothing about your own income rate.
When do codes arrive?
No codes were verified as of October 2026 because redemption is not yet enabled. Bookmark the codes page and watch official channels after each update.
Who made the game?
Tap Simulator REBORN is published by the Cursor Makers group on Roblox, with development credited to @dobdev and @Zued. The experience launched on August 4, 2026 and updates frequently.
