- Set a small goal per session — one level, one upgrade, one new best — and stop when you hit it. It keeps the game fun.
- Read the on-screen prompts once. Most casual games explain their entire control scheme in the first ten seconds and never again.
- Sound effects are feedback, not decoration. Play with the volume up at least until you know the game.
