Tips and tricks

  • Combo systems reward patience: keep the chain alive with safe moves rather than reaching for risky bonuses.
  • Learn the first thirty seconds perfectly. The opening is the same every time, so it should never be where you lose.
  • 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.
  • Take a short break after three or four failed runs. Arcade games punish tired eyes more than any other genre.
  • Because this is a Mobile game, turn on rotation lock so the screen does not flip mid-game.
  • Because this is a Webgl game, enable hardware acceleration in your browser settings if it stutters.
