Tips and tricks
- Learn the first thirty seconds perfectly. The opening is the same every time, so it should never be where you lose.
- Restart early. If a run starts badly, do not grind it out; a fresh attempt costs nothing and saves your focus.
- Play in a quiet tab with nothing else running. Small frame drops cause missed timing that feels like bad luck but is not.
- Combo systems reward patience: keep the chain alive with safe moves rather than reaching for risky bonuses.
- Because this is a Arcade game, restart early when a run goes wrong instead of grinding out a poor score.
