Tips and tricks
- If you are stuck for more than a couple of minutes, step away and come back. Puzzle solutions often arrive when you stop forcing them.
- Work backwards from the goal. Ask what the final state has to look like, then ask what the state before that must be.
- Do not memorise solutions, memorise principles. The level after this one will use the same idea in a new arrangement.
- Look for forced moves — places where only one option is legal. Solving those first shrinks the problem.
- Because this is a Hypercasual game, find the rhythm of the single mechanic — that is the entire skill.
