Tips and tricks
- 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.
- Read the whole board before your first move. In most puzzle games the first move is the most important one, and it deserves ten seconds of looking.
- Work backwards from the goal. Ask what the final state has to look like, then ask what the state before that must be.
- Because this is a Action game, keep moving.
- Because this is a Adventure game, explore side paths early; adventure games hide their best upgrades away from the main route.
Who will enjoy it
We would recommend Space Patrol to players who prefer thinking to twitching, from casual brain-teaser fans to dedicated solvers. In terms of time, think of a level or two in five minutes, or a long relaxed session. The learning curve is gentle at the start and genuinely tricky later. The controls are tap and drag based, which makes it comfortable on touch screens as well as with a mouse.
