Glowfly Beginner's Guide: 10 Tips to Light Up More Nights
Ten tips for new players: when to add lights and when to level them, how merging works, which boosts to use before bed and how to break the big rocks faster.
1. Collect often
Light you earn waits on the Collect button at the top. Nothing is lost, but light you haven't collected can't be spent, so collect before you shop.
2. Add lights to the lowest card
The + is always on your lowest light. Once three kinds of light are open, each press adds five at once.
3. Merge at ten
When a card shows 10/10, merge: ten lights become one of the next kind, which is far stronger. Three kinds of light are in play at a time.
4. Level up, too
The ▲ button raises a light's level and every copy of it gets stronger. When adding lights gets expensive, levels are often the better deal.
5. Pick skills at levels 5, 20 and 40
Each light has three skill slots. A glowing slot is waiting for you to choose: more power, more light earned, faster flight or stronger hits on hard rock.
6. Nothing is wasted
When a fourth kind of light opens, the lowest one fades away, but a quarter of its levels passes on to the light above it.
7. Tap and hold
Tap a wall to hit it yourself, or hold the speed button to make everything faster. Glass breaks in one hit; big rocks take many.
8. Use Power boosts for big walls
A Power boost makes every light hit harder (and their trails flicker with flames). Light boosts double what you earn.
9. Before bed, Deep Sleep
The lights keep working for 4 hours after you leave. Deep Sleep adds more, so start it before a long break.
10. Open boxes and daily gifts
Star Boxes drop now and then and at every chapter end; the game shows exactly what each can contain. Claim the daily gift every day for boosts and gems.
