More Gameplay Tips
At first, you'll only have to land one hit to defeat an enemy, but as the levels go higher, you have to land more hits, and the timing can be tough to nail down, so you'll have to prepare for some frequent close taps. Don't tap as soon as you think you hit the mark or you'll get a lot of too-early taps. Wait until the marker is a little bit inside of the target as there's some room for error there.
While getting new items is purely aesthetic at first, keep acquiring them because if you can acquire a duplicate, you'll get a huge advantage. The duplicated item will level up, so if you equip the leveled-up item, the targets will be larger, so you'll be able to tap on them more easily.
You can earn a lot of coins from the levels themselves, but there are lots of opportunities to earn more outside of the matches. After each round, you'll get the opportunity to watch an advertisement in exchange for 30 coins. That doesn't sound like much at first but watch an ad every single time that you lose at a level, and the coins will add up EXTREMELY quickly.
Achievements are a great way to collect coins, items, and potions. To get to the achievements menu, go to the settings menu and tap on the button that says Achievements. If you have any that have been completed (which will be denoted with an exclamation mark on the icon), then you'll be able to collect the rewards. For the rest, the game will show you what you have to do to unlock the achievements and get the reward.
Head back home to the quest guild whenever you want to complete some limited-edition quests. These will be much tougher than the ordinary ones, because you'll have to kill multiple enemies in a row to get the reward, and you will have to use more taps to get the kill in. But once you do, you'll get either a coin reward, or one or more items as a reward.
Various Gameplay Tips
There are a bunch of special items in the game, all with different powers. They are also pretty difficult to get, so using them when they really matter and make a difference is vital.
It doesn't really matter which of the items you are going to use - they are all useful in their own way, basically extending your play time and increasing your chances to complete each stage. So use them when you are really going to complete a stage: and decide before starting, because afterwards you can't use them! An even better idea is to mix them with a free continue. On some occasions, when your progress in a stage is solid, you will get the option to watch an ad to continue playing, or pay 20 coins to do so. Whichever option you chose (I would definitely go for the free one!) you get the chance to use a special item afterwards. This increases your chances to complete the stage even further, so make sure you use them if you want to be sure you're completing the stage you're so close to finishing!
Most of the items and unlocks in the game have no real effect on the gameplay itself and are purely cosmetic, but if you draw the same type of item twice, it starts upgrading and if you get enough, your game will get easier since the ball will move slower. So try to save as much money as you can and unlock a new item as soon as you have that chance.
There are some challenges in the game that you can take for great rewards (usually chests), but they are also extremely risky because if you fail, you lose your hard earned coins. The best idea is to try your hand at these paid quests after upgrading your items a few times and/or when you have a few special items to use. Also, it's a good idea to do so when you're fairly confident on your abilities, but by that time you probably are.
The game can become extremely frustrating, that's a fact. It also gets you really tired since you have to focus and give 100% each time you play. This is why taking breaks every now and then to rest your eyes and calm down a little bit can work wonders to your game. Just give it a try and see how well you'll perform after taking a couple of minutes away from Questy Quest!
