Tips to Improve
- Spend the first few rounds learning the controls without chasing a high score. Getting comfortable with the inputs pays off more than early optimization.
- Pay attention to what the scoring system rewards. Understanding the game's priorities helps you focus on the right actions.
- Memorize the sections that kill you most. Targeted practice on weak spots improves your runs faster than just replaying from the start.
- Test the edges of each mechanic. Move in directions the game does not suggest. Interact with things that look static. The boundaries tell you a lot about how the game works.
- Figure out what ends your runs most often. The most common failure point is usually the most valuable thing to improve.
- Early runs are for learning the patterns, not for high scores. Treat them as reconnaissance.
