Thanks to Melvin’s Tsum Tsum game invite, I’ve been kind of “addicted” to it since. The best part is that I downloaded it at midnight, right before bedtime and it was such a fast-paced game that the more I played, the more alert my mind got. I couldn’t sleep the entire night… so you have been warned!
Here’s evidence of me not being able to sleep at 4:39am. A good friend Seth tries to help… (no, I didn’t attempt to count them, in case you were wondering!)
How to Play Tsum Tsum?
What’s a Tsum? Ask Disney/Pixar. You’re given a minute to clear the board, connect 3 or more Tsums to eliminate them. Basically the longer the combo, the more points you get. As Melvin puts it before I proceeded to download the mobile app…
it’s damn g@y but super addictive
Do you need to be of high level to get high scores in Tsum Tsum?
No you don’t. It doesn’t really matter what level you are, the level bonus does not affect the final score much. What you need is a really good Tsum and some coins to buy bonuses or 5 rubies to get extra 10 game seconds, but that’s totally optional!
Play Like a Tsum Tsum Master
Since I’ve broken his high score (we’re still friends) and some friends have been asking me how I did it… whether I use cheat at Tsum Tsum. The answer is: no cheat involved.. Here are some of my Tsum Tsum ‘secrets’ or tips I personally feel has helped me better when I play the game… hopefully they can help you get high score on Tsum Tsum as well:
Try different Tsums
Because each Tsum has a different skill, see which one fits your style the most. Personally I like Marie Cat and Mikey best. It’s a pain trying to save up to buy the Premium Box, but the 30K will be coins well spent!
Focus on clearing your selected myTsum
It took me a long while to understand that there are two types of bonuses: Tsum fever and the Fever bar in the middle – they are totally separate. (now you know!) Focus on clearing the type of Tsum on the bottom left of the screen and you’ll be fine. Keep activating its power; don’t let it go to waste. At the same time, follow the next tip…
Stay in Fever mode as long as you can!
GO CRAZY. Burst the bubbles during Fever mode. I am not sure whether you get more bonus during then, but it helps keep the fever momentum going for a few extra seconds.
To get the roulette bonus at the end of the game, make sure your Tsum bonus button is golden. (can be activated)
Turn on the music
It will help you better identify when it’s time to hit the Fever button, when the clock is ticking, etc. That way you don’t have to spend time checking the Fever bar.
Save those coins
Buy Tsum Boxes as soon as you can afford them. As you play the game, you can earn EXP for the type of Tsums you clear… they can level up faster the earlier you own them.
I don’t purchase the add-ons since because it’s too expensive and there’s no ROI. But if you really, really insist on breaking your friend’s high score, I suggest buying these 4 bonuses. +Score +EXP +5>4 +Bubbles
Just keep going
Even when the Tsums are being cleared off the board when you’ve created a combo, scan the other sides of the screen to clear other Tsums you can find – you don’t need to wait. There’s no time to lose!
Don’t bother shuffling
Shaking the gyroscope is the last resort. You’d be wasting a few seconds of the game waiting for the Tsum to settle down in a new spot. That means you aren’t really forming combo to earn points.
Clear the same type of Tsums first
I personally find it easier to scan the screen like that. In 1 minute, there’s not much time to think.
Keep drawing lines
It takes a while to get to understand what patterns/shapes you should be drawing for certain bunch of Tsum. Thankfully the Tsums get highlighted so there’s really not much thinking going on when completing the lines
That’s all I can think of for now. Leave a comment if you have differing view or more tips to add on! Have fun and try not to be addicted!
If you found this useful, share it with your friends! (or maybe you’d like to stay on top of the list for a while longer!)
