Pick up whatever you can
You want to pick up any foodstuff that you can, whether it’s pancakes or topping. The higher your pile, the more you’re going to score when you get to the end of the level. Do your best to pick up everything, and only avoid grabbing things if getting them is going to put you in danger.
You can fall off the edge
If there’s no wall at the edge of the level, you can fall off. Obviously, this results in an instant fail. Try and stick to the center of the level, and don’t push your luck trying to squeeze past obstacles at the side of the track. It’s better to weave through than make a mistake and have to start again.
Hit an obstacle and you lose everything
Other than the pipes that knock off the top of your stack, hitting an obstacle will knock everything off your plate. It’s imperative that you avoid them at all costs. If you do hit something, it’s probably worth your while deliberately swiping off the edge of the level and starting all over again.
Lift your finger to stop
You don’t have to keep moving all the time. In fact, sometimes stopping and waiting for an obstacle to move is your best course of action. Lift your finger off the screen and your pile will come to a halt, letting you avoid the hazards that fire across your path and picking the perfect time to get past them.
Pick the right color
When you come to the gates, you need to push the button that matches the color of the stripes. When there’s a gate ahead, make sure you’re in the right position to hit the correct button – it’s hard to readjust when you don’t have much time and, obviously, hitting a gate is a bad idea.
