Tips and tricks
- Restart early. If a run starts badly, do not grind it out; a fresh attempt costs nothing and saves your focus.
- 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.
- 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.
- Because this is a Hypercasual game, find the rhythm of the single mechanic — that is the entire skill.
- Because this is a Clicker game, buy the cheapest upgrade that multiplies output rather than the flashiest one.
