- 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.
- Aim for consistency before you aim for records. A steady run that avoids mistakes usually scores higher than a flashy one that ends early.
- Learn the first thirty seconds perfectly. The opening is the same every time, so it should never be where you lose.
- Because this is a Drawing game, shorter strokes are more precise than long ones.
- Because this is a Girls game, take your time with creative choices; there is rarely a wrong answer in this kind of game.
