Game Selection Strategy

For Beginners

Start with:

  1. Chomper - Easiest to learn

  2. Brick Breaker - Simple mechanics

  3. Pixel Snake - Good skill progression

Avoid:

  • Flappy Pixel (too hard initially)

  • Space Rocks (complex controls)

For Competitive Players

Focus on:

  1. Games you enjoy (motivation matters)

  2. Medium difficulty (less competition than easy)

  3. High skill ceiling (practice advantage)

Best combinations:

  • 1 easy game (consistent earnings)

  • 2 medium games (competitive edge)

  • Maybe 1 hard game (less competition)

For Maximum Earnings

Multi-game approach:

  • Play 3-5 games daily

  • Rank 6th-10th in each

  • Multiple smaller rewards > one big reward

  • Diversification reduces risk

Example:

  • Chomper: Rank 8th = 250 8BIT

  • Brick Breaker: Rank 6th = 250 8BIT

  • Pixel Snake: Rank 7th = 250 8BIT

  • Total: 750 8BIT/day vs 1,250 for one #1 spot

Game Mechanics

Scoring Systems

Most games use:

  • Points for actions (eating dots, breaking bricks)

  • Multipliers for combos/power-ups

  • Bonus for completing levels

  • Penalties for deaths (in some games)

Higher score ≠ Always better strategy:

  • Sometimes surviving longer matters

  • Consistency > risky high-score attempts

  • Study what actually ranks top 10

Difficulty Progression

All games get harder over time:

  • Speed increases

  • More obstacles

  • Fewer power-ups

  • Pattern complexity

Key to high scores:

  • Master early levels quickly

  • Survive late-game difficulty spike

  • Don't take unnecessary risks early

  • Practice high-level gameplay

Power-Ups

Common power-ups across games:

  • Speed Boost - Temporary faster movement

  • Shield - One-hit protection

  • Multi - Double points or projectiles

  • Slow-Mo - Slow down gameplay briefly

  • Extra Life - One more chance

Power-up strategy:

  • Save shields for late-game

  • Use speed boosts to clear levels fast

  • Catch multi-ball/multi-shot immediately

  • Don't risk death chasing power-ups
