Tips and tricks

  • Work backwards from the goal. Ask what the final state has to look like, then ask what the state before that must be.
  • Look for forced moves — places where only one option is legal. Solving those first shrinks the problem.
  • Do not memorise solutions, memorise principles. The level after this one will use the same idea in a new arrangement.
  • Count. Tiles, moves, colours, matches — many puzzles are secretly arithmetic, and a quick count reveals the plan.
  • Because this is a Adventure game, explore side paths early; adventure games hide their best upgrades away from the main route.
