Tips and tricks
- Read the whole board before your first move. In most puzzle games the first move is the most important one, and it deserves ten seconds of looking.
- Count. Tiles, moves, colours, matches — many puzzles are secretly arithmetic, and a quick count reveals the plan.
- Use undo or restart freely. Experimenting is how you learn the mechanics; there is no penalty for trying an idea.
- If you are stuck for more than a couple of minutes, step away and come back. Puzzle solutions often arrive when you stop forcing them.
- Because this is a Arcade game, restart early when a run goes wrong instead of grinding out a poor score.
- Because this is a Hypercasual game, find the rhythm of the single mechanic — that is the entire skill.
