Tips and tricks

  • Do not memorise solutions, memorise principles. The level after this one will use the same idea in a new arrangement.
  • Work backwards from the goal. Ask what the final state has to look like, then ask what the state before that must be.
  • Play with sound on if the game has it; audio cues often confirm a correct move before the animation finishes.
  • Use undo or restart freely. Experimenting is how you learn the mechanics; there is no penalty for trying an idea.
  • Because this is a Kids game, younger children do better with a mouse or touch screen than with keyboard combinations.
  • Because this is a Arcade game, restart early when a run goes wrong instead of grinding out a poor score.
