Tips and tricks
- 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.
- Restart early. If a run starts badly, do not grind it out; a fresh attempt costs nothing and saves your focus.
- Find the rhythm. Most arcade games have an underlying beat — taps, jumps or moves that fall on a regular interval — and once you feel it, your accuracy jumps.
- Play in a quiet tab with nothing else running. Small frame drops cause missed timing that feels like bad luck but is not.
- Because this is a Webgl game, enable hardware acceleration in your browser settings if it stutters.
- Because this is a Arcade game, restart early when a run goes wrong instead of grinding out a poor score.
