Tips and tricks
- Do not memorise solutions, memorise principles. The level after this one will use the same idea in a new arrangement.
- If you are stuck for more than a couple of minutes, step away and come back. Puzzle solutions often arrive when you stop forcing them.
- Look for forced moves — places where only one option is legal. Solving those first shrinks the problem.
- Read the whole board before your first move. In most puzzle games the first move is the most important one, and it deserves ten seconds of looking.
- Because this is a Adventure game, explore side paths early; adventure games hide their best upgrades away from the main route.
