* Collect all of the flags on the early levels as there is no great threat from the boots.
* Scroll bombs to the opposite edge of the screen so you can easily collect them and move back to your starting side.
* At the start of each level you get a few seconds where the boots can not move. Make use of this time to get to the first bomb.
* If two bombs are ticking down, get the closest one first unless the other is much closer to exploding.
* Move the floor away from boots to trap them.
* If you trap a boot on a single square, you can move the square away from underneath it, trapping it on empty space.
