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.

- Learn the first thirty seconds perfectly. The opening is the same every time, so it should never be where you lose.
- 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.
