Tips and tricks
- Aim for consistency before you aim for records. A steady run that avoids mistakes usually scores higher than a flashy one that ends early.
- Play in a quiet tab with nothing else running. Small frame drops cause missed timing that feels like bad luck but is not.
- Learn the first thirty seconds perfectly. The opening is the same every time, so it should never be where you lose.
- Combo systems reward patience: keep the chain alive with safe moves rather than reaching for risky bonuses.
- Because this is a Tower Defense game, build at corners where the path doubles back so towers get two passes at every enemy.
