Tips and tricks
- Watch your own replays or failed attempts critically: the same mistake usually repeats three times before you notice it.
- Spend your first attempt learning, not winning. Poke at everything on screen; browser games hide small mechanics in plain sight.
- If a level frustrates you, the game usually has a way around it: a different approach, a power-up you skipped or simply more practice on the previous level.
- Sound effects are feedback, not decoration. Play with the volume up at least until you know the game.
- Because this is a Strategy game, economy first, power later.
