PopStar tip #4: Don’t allow more abandoned tiles.
- While helping abandoned tiles is important, it’s just as vital to make sure you’re not creating even more abandoned tiles.
- In many cases, it is unavoidable to make matches that cause other tiles to get separated from stars of the same color.
- There are, however, ways you can help reduce the number of orphan stars you create.
- Before you make any match, look around the areas to see what tiles might be affected.
- If you see a star that will be orphaned if you make the match, try clearing that star first.
- Whenever you do make a match, look in the area for another tile of the same color that you can add to the match. This will prevent more from being separated.
PopStar tip #5: Work from the bottom.
- Like many games where pieces fall with gravity, you’ll want to use that to your advantage and work on the bottom of the board.
- If you start at the top, you could run out of matches much sooner since you won’t be able to get the tiles you need to match on the bottom.
- Work low and try to get rid of outliers and build big matches.
- Figure out which colors you need to clear the bottom tiles, and make matches that will help you clear them.
