Beginner tips

The basics

1. Tap the slime nearest to expiring first. Normal slimes last 5 seconds. Bad ones last 4.
2. Never tap purple or toxic slimes on purpose. Poison costs 3 seconds.
3. Always take Extra Time slimes. Two seconds buys about two more spawns.
4. Use explosions on crowds. A blast from an Explosive slime pops every slime in range, and each scores.
5. Keep your finger moving. Tapping fast matters more than aiming perfectly, because slimes are generous targets.

Pets and coins

1. Equip a pet before every level. Start with Chubby, then switch to Rumble at level 4.
2. Save for Frost or Echo first (800 coins each). See Which pet should I get?.
3. Claim your daily reward and missions every day. That is about 430 coins a day on average from the reward cycle alone.
4. Replay early levels for coins if you are short. Winning pays the completion reward. See Earning coins fast.

Habits to avoid

1. Do not chase one slime. If it is far away, take two close ones instead.
2. Do not tap bad slimes in a rush. On a crowded screen, look before you tap.
3. Do not hold your pet ability for too long. Three uses per level is generous, so spend them.
