Pips up

Pips up strips sports down to the moments that matter: the shot, the save, the goal. Score more than your opponent, beat the clock, or chain together a perfect run of plays. Controls: Controls are intentionally light — a couple of keys or clicks are all you need to execute advanced moves. Tips to get better: Pay attention to visual cues — most games telegraph what's coming a half-second before it happens. The first boss or big challenge usually teaches you a mechanic you'll need for the rest of the game. Watch for patterns in enemy or obstacle spawns — most games loop through a finite set. If you're drawn to games with a pips flavor, Pips up hits that spot cleanly. Pips up is the kind of game you'll keep open in a tab for weeks.
