Tips and tricks
- If there is a power meter, release slightly earlier than feels natural; most meters are tuned so that "full" is too much.
- Use the whole field, court or track. Players who hug one side become predictable.
- Small, steady inputs. Over-steering, over-swinging and over-jumping are the most common mistakes in every sports game.
- Defend first when you are ahead, attack first when you are behind. It sounds obvious, and yet.
- Because this is a Brain game, the obvious answer is often a trap in brain-teasers — pause before you click.
