Tips and tricks
- Play in a quiet tab with nothing else running. Small frame drops cause missed timing that feels like bad luck but is not.
- Learn the first thirty seconds perfectly. The opening is the same every time, so it should never be where you lose.
- 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.
- Take a short break after three or four failed runs. Arcade games punish tired eyes more than any other genre.
- Because this is a Hypercasual game, find the rhythm of the single mechanic — that is the entire skill.
- Because this is a Avoid game, stay in the middle so you can move either way.
