Tips & strategy

Pick a color first

Scan for the largest cluster of the same color before you start drawing. Mixed-color loops always fail — it is faster to loop three matching orbs once than to chase two colors separately.

Track void ink

Void traps drift like normal doodles. Before closing a loop, trace your shape mentally and make sure no ✕ orb slid inside. One careless capture costs a heart and wipes your combo.

Bigger loops, bigger payoffs

Each extra orb adds 50 base points plus combo bonus. When four or five same-color orbs clump together, one generous loop beats several tiny ones — and keeps your combo climbing.

Close confidently

You do not need to return to your exact start point — the game snaps the stroke when endpoints are close enough. Draw smooth arcs rather than hesitating; rejected "not closed" loops waste time while more orbs spawn.

Protect your combo

After two or three successful loops, avoid risky shapes that might clip a wrong-color orb. It is okay to wait a beat for orbs to drift apart. See Scoring & combos for the math.

Level-ups change pace

Every 400 points raises the level and spawn rate. After a level-up toast, expect the paper to fill faster — prioritize clean captures over greedy multi-orb attempts until you adjust.

Use continues wisely

The rewarded continue restores your last checkpoint with one heart. It works best when you still had a strong score and manageable orb layout — not after a chaotic board full of void ink.
