Tips and tricks
- Do not chase every bonus. Collectibles placed near danger are a trade-off the designer set for you; take them only when your position is safe.
- Use short practice sessions. Ten focused minutes will improve your timing far more than an hour of frustrated retries.
- Keep moving. Standing still is the most common way to lose an action round, because the game is designed to punish hesitation.
- Learn the enemy or obstacle patterns before you try to go fast — most action games repeat a handful of behaviours, and once you recognise them the game slows down in your head.
- Because this is a Girls game, take your time with creative choices; there is rarely a wrong answer in this kind of game.
