Start by making a chain
When a square clears, whatever was above it falls down.
If those blocks land as another square, the chain continues, and every link raises your multiplier. Once you can set these up, your scores change scale.
Build your multiplier early
Once it goes up, it stays up for the rest of the run, so chains you land early keep paying off.
Let chains build the big squares
Since a 4×4 clears the moment it completes, the big squares come together mid-chain instead. How you stack decides whether they do.
Need time? Make the first clear bigger
Only the first square of a chain returns time, and the bigger it is the more you get back. Aim there when the clock is running low.
When in doubt, drop it
Flick up once you know where the piece goes. The clock runs while you think.
