Tips and tricks

  • Restart early. If a run starts badly, do not grind it out; a fresh attempt costs nothing and saves your focus.
  • 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.
  • Combo systems reward patience: keep the chain alive with safe moves rather than reaching for risky bonuses.
  • Learn the first thirty seconds perfectly. The opening is the same every time, so it should never be where you lose.
  • Because this is a Action game, keep moving.
