Pro Strategy

Bonus points » The level of difficulty increases after twenty seconds spent on the same level. Clearing the board also increases the level, and rewards a massive score bonus.
Piece origin » The dots on the pieces indicate the piece origin. The mouse will by default align to this tile. Each piece has its origin near the bottom-left, making it easier to push the black tiles up the board rather than down.
Contain the infection » Black tiles can only spread to adjacent tiles (not including diagonals). Be careful not to leave single tiles as they can result in a much larger problem if left alone.
