ZEZ isn't a particularly deep game, but it's certainly a blast if the idea of an endless-running/match-three game takes your fancy. Here are a few handy tips to help you get off to a flying start - and deliver a killer blow when you come crashing back down to earth.
It's almost always worth taking a little extra time to bring a four-strong match-up into play, rather than going for an easy three. You get a much higher boost for matching four tiles on the screen, and if you can keep these matches coming consecutively, you should have no trouble nailing a new high score.
Try to ignore the timer as much as possible. Stealing a glance at it will only take away from the precious seconds you have remaining on the clock. Instead, stay focused on the gem-matching at the bottom of the screen.
The timing mini-game that sends you shooting off into the sky takes a little while to perfect, but we've got a useful tip for you. Make sure you tap just before the moving bar hits the very top of the meter to get the maximum boost. There's a little bit of lag with the timing, so a slightly early tap will get you off to the best start.
At the end of each run you'll come crashing back down to earth to deliver your knockout blow. Tired of waiting for your creature to reach the bottom so you can start again? Simply keep your finger held down on the flashing red button at the bottom of the screen - this will help bring him down with a mighty & rapid bump.
When it comes to matching up tiles, there's a certain amount of what feels like lag, but you can queue up tile commands ahead of time. Doing so is essential if you want to get a decent score. Just keep tapping the tiles in the order you want to switch, tap once more to set off the match, then start looking for the next scoring opportunity immediately.
