How to play Double Up
- Press the play button above and wait for Double Up to finish loading. On first load this can take a few seconds while the game files are fetched.
- Follow the on-screen prompts. The developer describes the controls like this: Tap to launch the block Hold to preview
- Read the whole level before your first move. Identify the goal, then look for the forced moves that must happen regardless.
- When you are comfortable, set a target: a score to beat, a level to clear or a time to shave. Small goals are what make Double Up stick.

Tips and tricks
- Do not memorise solutions, memorise principles. The level after this one will use the same idea in a new arrangement.
- Play with sound on if the game has it; audio cues often confirm a correct move before the animation finishes.
- Look for forced moves — places where only one option is legal. Solving those first shrinks the problem.
- Count. Tiles, moves, colours, matches — many puzzles are secretly arithmetic, and a quick count reveals the plan.
- Because this is a Brain game, the obvious answer is often a trap in brain-teasers — pause before you click.
