Good habits
Little tips for better play.
A few simple habits help keep games in their proper place — short, enjoyable and optional.
Set a soft limit
Decide how long you want to play before you start. A phone timer works well for short breaks.
Treat points lightly
Trail points are only an on-screen score. They cannot be bought, saved for later or exchanged for anything.
Pause when it stops feeling fun
If a session feels frustrating or too long, close the tab and do something else for a while.
