What makes a good arcade game? Usually difficulty that ramps steadily, the "one more go" effect and bright, readable visuals — and Become a Mechanic has each of them in some measure.

Tips and tricks
- Look one step ahead of your character. Reacting to what is under you is too late; reacting to what is coming is exactly on time.
- Find the rhythm. Most arcade games have an underlying beat — taps, jumps or moves that fall on a regular interval — and once you feel it, your accuracy jumps.
- Aim for consistency before you aim for records. A steady run that avoids mistakes usually scores higher than a flashy one that ends early.
- Restart early. If a run starts badly, do not grind it out; a fresh attempt costs nothing and saves your focus.
