Tips & Strategies

Focus on creating longer chains for bonus points.
Prioritize connecting Daruma dolls that are blocking potential matches.
Keep an eye on upcoming doll colors to plan your moves ahead.
Avoid random clicks; rushing can break your strategy.
Use the edges and corners to manage tricky layouts efficiently.

Many new players make the mistake of connecting dolls without thinking ahead, which quickly fills the board and limits future moves. Success comes from observing patterns and planning multiple steps in advance. As levels progress, the board becomes more crowded, and the ability to anticipate doll placement separates casual players from high scorers. Taking a moment to assess the board before each connection can significantly improve your performance.
