- TIPS AND TRICKS -
* There are infallible patterns for every stage. If you find one which works once in a game, use it again the next time you are on that stage.
* If you are heading towards a dead end, stop on a corner, and wait for the fuses to burn themselves out - better than losing a life!
* On the early levels clear as much of the maze as possible for extra points.
* If you manage to cut the fuses off completely from you, feel free to leech points by clearing as much of the maze as you can.
* Use the blocks inside the grid to keep the fuses at bay. You can force them to take a particular route by clearing the grid and leaving them no option.
