Good little pastime, even if pretty short.
Here're some tips if you need any:
- The "- box" shinks and reduces multiplier by 0.25, but the "+ box" increases it by 0.5 and enlarges of the same rateo. However, it's not a good idea to alternate them to get a solid +0.25 while keeping same sizes. Since gems' spawn and circles' spawn are not connected, you might want to rush for as many points as possible in early, so the best is to get all "+ boxes" in early and only when circles start getting too much you go for "- boxes" and try to go as far as possible.
- Since dash also reduces circles' size, it's better to play aggressive in early and willingly dash into the first 5 or 6 circles to make them as small as possible. Avoid doing this in late game, since one or two big circles ain't gonna affect your play so much compared to the other 13 little circles.
- The angry cube doesn't help so much, since there's a limit to how small you can make circles by dashing.
- The greedy cube is what I used to get the highscore of 150 for the achievement (precisely 157 points. not my highscore, though). Even if it's huge, you can get about 80 points very soon; just remember to use dash as much as possible.
- The chunky one looks good because circles are slower and you start with +0,50 multiplier, but I don't suggest it. In a game that gets harder as time passes, going slow is a terrible idea.
- Mike has only upsides but getting used to that speed is not easy; very good if you've the time to learn and master it.
- Yppah is... ... kinda awful? Having to jump to get high-value gems is a very different mechanic and it's ok, but being totally vulnerable makes it incredibly hard. Not worthy
- The cyclops's feature is not an upside. Even if you shrink the circles, new ones may be big anyway. And of course, no dash=no party.
- PAIN cube is what takes the most skills. Even too much skills. You can try it, but I don't think it'll bring you a higher score than what you can get with Greedy, Mike or even just Happy.
That being said, there's a problem with the saving system, and my save file gets lost if I return after 10 minutes or even less.
