Tips and tricks
- Aim for consistency before you aim for records. A steady run that avoids mistakes usually scores higher than a flashy one that ends early.
- 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.
- Restart early. If a run starts badly, do not grind it out; a fresh attempt costs nothing and saves your focus.
- Learn the first thirty seconds perfectly. The opening is the same every time, so it should never be where you lose.
