Tips and tricks
- Learn the controls alone for two minutes before you invite a friend. Fumbling the basics is the fastest way to lose a match you should win.
- Play the opponent, not the game. Notice what your rival keeps doing and punish that habit.
- In shared-keyboard games, agree on who uses which keys before you start — hand collisions cause more losses than skill does.
- Be a good winner. Rematches are how multiplayer games stay fun, and nobody replays a gloater.
- Because this is a Mobile game, turn on rotation lock so the screen does not flip mid-game.
