Tips and tricks
- Take a short break after three or four failed runs. Arcade games punish tired eyes more than any other genre.
- Combo systems reward patience: keep the chain alive with safe moves rather than reaching for risky bonuses.
- 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.
- 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 Match 3 game, work from the bottom of the board so cascades do the work for you.
- Because this is a Arcade game, restart early when a run goes wrong instead of grinding out a poor score.
