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.
  • Play in a quiet tab with nothing else running. Small frame drops cause missed timing that feels like bad luck but is not.
  • 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.
  • 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 Drawing game, shorter strokes are more precise than long ones.
