Tips and tricks
- 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.
- 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.
- Combo systems reward patience: keep the chain alive with safe moves rather than reaching for risky bonuses.
- Restart early. If a run starts badly, do not grind it out; a fresh attempt costs nothing and saves your focus.
- Because this is a Arcade game, restart early when a run goes wrong instead of grinding out a poor score.
