- Set a small goal per session — one level, one upgrade, one new best — and stop when you hit it. It keeps the game fun.
- Sound effects are feedback, not decoration. Play with the volume up at least until you know the game.
- Because this is a Arcade game, restart early when a run goes wrong instead of grinding out a poor score.
