- Play the first run purely to learn. Notice the rhythm of the obstacles, then start a fresh run and aim for a clean start.

Tips and tricks
- Aim for consistency before you aim for records. A steady run that avoids mistakes usually scores higher than a flashy one that ends early.
- Take a short break after three or four failed runs. Arcade games punish tired eyes more than any other genre.
- 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.
- Find the rhythm. Most arcade games have an underlying beat — taps, jumps or moves that fall on a regular interval — and once you feel it, your accuracy jumps.
- Because this is a Collecting game, plan a route that passes everything once.
Who will enjoy it
We would recommend Stack Rider to anyone with a few minutes to spare and a competitive streak. In terms of time, think of runs of thirty seconds to a few minutes, endlessly repeatable. The learning curve is simple rules, high skill ceiling. The controls are tap and drag based, which makes it comfortable on touch screens as well as with a mouse.
