Twype is a game against time where you need to decide quickly on your next move.
You control a Puck by swiping in the direction you want to jump. If you swipe towards an empty area, you lose the game and have to start over.
If you stand still after a successful jump, you will notice the Pad below the Puck shrinking, until it can no longer hold the Puck. When that happens, you lose and have to start over.
When you perform a successful jump, you will notice that a green bar on the pad lights up on the side to which you have jumped. After you light up all 4 sides, you get a score multiplier and an Energy Bar.
Collecting 5 Energy Bars will activate Turbo Boost, during which the Puck will automatically perform 30 jumps before the Turbo Boost expires.
During the Turbo Boost, you can still swipe to a desired direction, and the Puck will automatically jump towards that direction when possible. You can use this technique to collect 5 Energy Bars before the Turbo Boost expires, and therefore chaining multiple Turbo Boosts together.
Remember that the score multiplier is crucial to achieving the highest score possible, and that the faster you swipe, the more score points you collect.
