Tips and tricks
- Take a short break after three or four failed runs. Arcade games punish tired eyes more than any other genre.
- 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.
- Aim for consistency before you aim for records. A steady run that avoids mistakes usually scores higher than a flashy one that ends early.
- Learn the first thirty seconds perfectly. The opening is the same every time, so it should never be where you lose.
- Because this is a Hypercasual game, find the rhythm of the single mechanic — that is the entire skill.
