- If a level frustrates you, the game usually has a way around it: a different approach, a power-up you skipped or simply more practice on the previous level.
- Do not compare your first hour to someone's hundredth. Casual games are built to be learned in public, one small improvement at a time.
- Full-screen mode makes a real difference to precision. Use the button beneath the game.
- Read the on-screen prompts once. Most casual games explain their entire control scheme in the first ten seconds and never again.
- Because this is a Avoid game, stay in the middle so you can move either way.
- Because this is a Fishing game, let the fish tire before you reel.
