Tips and tricks
- 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.
- Take a short break after three or four failed runs. Arcade games punish tired eyes more than any other genre.
- 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.
- 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 Arcade game, restart early when a run goes wrong instead of grinding out a poor score.
- Because this is a Action game, keep moving.
