A good time to go higher or lower is when a lot of enemies are getting too close, or if you can’t find a bomb. You jump and fall faster than you can move horizontally. If the bombs are clumped together outside of the swarm, instead of activating the closest bomb, you can go for the farther bomb, and use the space to go backward and activate the other, this way instead of having to just run forward and leave most of the shards behind, you can safely turn around and collect.Īt higher scores when there are thousands and thousands of enemies on your tail, it’s good to take advantage of vertical movement.
