- Take a short break after three or four failed runs. Arcade games punish tired eyes more than any other genre.
- Learn the first thirty seconds perfectly. The opening is the same every time, so it should never be where you lose.
- 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.
- Because this is a Candy game, make matches low on the board to trigger cascades.
- Because this is a Christmas game, seasonal games often have hidden bonuses in the decorations.
