Tips and tricks
- If you are stuck for more than a couple of minutes, step away and come back. Puzzle solutions often arrive when you stop forcing them.
- 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.
- Use undo or restart freely. Experimenting is how you learn the mechanics; there is no penalty for trying an idea.
- Because this is a Survival game, plan for the late game early; what feels like plenty of resources will not be.
