Tomb of the Mask cheats and tips - How to grab everything and make the most of ads
Ad therapy
I can't stop swiping. I'm seeing dots and I'm collecting them all in a Pac-Man style labyrinth but with so much speed and ferocity.
That's right, I'm playing Tomb of the Mask, and it's really fun. Things move quickly, and as such it's hard to put the game down. Well, it'd be harder if there were less ads.
If you want to play more of the game, grab everything, and even avoid ads as much as possible, this is the guide for you.
1
Dot matrix
Tomb of the Mask is a colourful, pixelated swiper that will grab your attention. A quick swipe of your finger will change gravity, and fling you against walls thanks to the force of momentum.
You will essentially want to get to the end of each stage, while picking up all of the dots, coins and - most importantly - stars on each stage.
The dots' positioning will hint at what path is most efficient to grab them all, but thanks to stage design, you might end up missing a few on your first fly through.

Hot plate
What will inevitably become the biggest obstacle between you and your goals, there are walls which spit out spikes which will instantly kill you. Best avoided, obviously.
You can tell which walls are dangerous by a light glow they have, which means you should look out for which walls you're about to fly into.
They won't pop out immediately, instead giving you a short moment to orient yourself, but shoot off as quickly as you can to avoid death. Also, wait for them to retract before going back in that direction.

Sneaky bats
The other obstacles you'll find in your way are actually alive. Well, I think they are, anyway.
The first is a bat, and they'll fly back and forth in a linear path, blocking your progression. Often, these will be in locations that make it awkward to grab stars or dots.
The next are odd puffer-fish like creatures, which pulsate in a set pattern, allowing you to time it so you can sneak past without getting spiked.
As for the creatures that drop projectiles from above? Pfft, just keep moving.

As few ads as possible
Right, so if you've been playing the game for any amount of time, you may have noticed that there are ads. Yep, a bunch of them.
In fact, you're likely to encounter an ad every time you clear a level, and will be prompted further in exchange for chests, coins and continues.
Here's the thing: since you'll get an ad anyway, why not watch one for a reward? The ones you don't choose to watch you can usually skip after 15 seconds, but if you're gonna have to deal with an ad, might as well get something out of it other than a headache.
