Tips and tricks
- 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.
- Set a small goal per session — one level, one upgrade, one new best — and stop when you hit it. It keeps the game fun.
- Spend your first attempt learning, not winning. Poke at everything on screen; browser games hide small mechanics in plain sight.
- 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.
- Because this is a Family game, take turns and compare scores.
