Tips and tricks
- Sound effects are feedback, not decoration. Play with the volume up at least until you know the game.
- If a level frustrates you, the game usually has a way around it: a different approach, a power-up you skipped or simply more practice on the previous level.
- Full-screen mode makes a real difference to precision. Use the button beneath the game.
- Spend your first attempt learning, not winning. Poke at everything on screen; browser games hide small mechanics in plain sight.
- Because this is a Mobile game, turn on rotation lock so the screen does not flip mid-game.
