Tips and tricks

  • Combo systems reward patience: keep the chain alive with safe moves rather than reaching for risky bonuses.
  • Play in a quiet tab with nothing else running. Small frame drops cause missed timing that feels like bad luck but is not.
  • Aim for consistency before you aim for records. A steady run that avoids mistakes usually scores higher than a flashy one that ends early.
  • 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.
