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.
- 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.
- Aim for consistency before you aim for records. A steady run that avoids mistakes usually scores higher than a flashy one that ends early.
- Take a short break after three or four failed runs. Arcade games punish tired eyes more than any other genre.
- Because this is a Platform game, jump from the very edge of a platform for maximum distance.
