Strategy Guide
- Try the opposite of what keeps failing. If you are playing aggressively and dying, play defensively. If you are playing cautiously and timing out, push forward. The answer is often the reverse of your instinct.
- The early levels teach mechanics that become critical later. Do not skip through them, even if they feel easy. The patterns they introduce come back.
- Undoing your last move is almost always better than restarting from scratch. Backtrack strategically instead of resetting every time you get stuck.
- Learn the difference between what costs you progress and what costs you time. Avoiding the first is always more important than optimizing the second.
- Figure out what ends your runs most often. The most common failure point is usually the most valuable thing to improve.
- Watch your own replays if the game supports them. You will spot mistakes in replay that you completely missed during live play.
