💡 Pro Tips

Elevate your Pumpkin Jack gameplay from good to great with these expert strategies.

🎪 Master the Timing: Don't spam clicks! The key to fluid movement is anticipating Jack's arc and placing platforms just as he begins to descend. This creates a smooth, continuous flow.
⚡ Plan Your Route: Before making a move, quickly scan the upcoming section. Look for pearl locations and obstacle patterns. Planning two or three platform placements ahead will save you precious time.
💰 Pearl Priority: Always go for the pearls! They are essential for a top score and often require creative platform placement or a slight detour. Missing one might mean restarting the level.
🏆 Embrace the Challenge: Some obstacles seem impossible at first. Stay patient! Experiment with different platform angles and jump timings. Sometimes the solution is to place a platform further away to build momentum for a bigger leap.
