1. Learn to use and rely upon your speed control button. It may be the only thing that stands between you and many a deadly collision.
2. Avoid hovering around the matrix perimeters for too long. The sentinels will quickly sense your presence.
3. To save time, try to pick up as many cells as possible in a single direction before turning a corner to avoid a fireball.
