Pro Tips

1
Keep your tap precise and centered on each orb to maximize catch registration, especially when speed ramps up.
2
Watch for patterns in orb descent speed and spacing. Early orbs move slower—use that window to settle into rhythm.
3
Don't panic when difficulty jumps. Take a breath and focus on one orb at a time instead of looking ahead.
4
Use Zen Mode to practice your timing without pressure. It's a great way to warm up before chasing high scores.
5
Consistency beats speed. A steady hand and calm mind will outperform frantic tapping every time.
