  • Learn the first thirty seconds perfectly. The opening is the same every time, so it should never be where you lose.
  • Take a short break after three or four failed runs. Arcade games punish tired eyes more than any other genre.
  • 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.
  • Restart early. If a run starts badly, do not grind it out; a fresh attempt costs nothing and saves your focus.
