In the level mode, however, you'll play through smaller and more condensed scenarios that you can finish in just a few seconds. Tomb of the Mask is an outstanding game that combines a gameplay perfectly adapted for touch screens with an old-school difficulty.
Tomb of the Mask is a great new game that made its way on the App Store, challenging us to collect as many coins as possible in a minimalistic/retro world that seems to flawlessly mix Indiana Jones and Pac Man. The result is an incredibly simple game to learn how to play, but one that proves really difficult to master – and I am here to help you master it as soon as possible, or at least get better scores, level up faster and unlock all masks. For that, I have some Tomb of the Mask cheats and tips to make it happen!
So take a break and read Touch, Tap, Play’s Tomb of the Mask tips and cheats for playing this amazing game better and getting the most out of it!
Never use coins to revive
This is by far the best rule: you will always have the option to watch an ad to continue your run, so never spend the extremely valuable coins on continuing a run – it’s not worth it! Enough said!
Only revive when you are really on a roll
The number of ads you can watch is limited (but resets on a daily basis), so don’t overdo it and keep the resets for those moments when you’re really on a roll and about to beat your high score or get a completely amazing score. Otherwise, it’s not worth it. Start a new game and keep your continues for when they matter!
Spin the Wheel of Fortune
One of the best things about the Wheel of Fortune is that it can earn you Shields, which can be extremely useful in the game and get you very far. So spin the wheel of fortune and always try to get a shield out of a 200 roll (that’s the cost of one roll). If you win 600 coins, for example, this means that you have two extra rolls. Keep up with the numbers and calculate your losses and you will soon be able to get a nice amount of shields per each 200 coins spent. And that’s money well spent!
Invest in power-ups
Shields are really expensive, so I would ignore them early on. Instead, I would invest in the other power-ups, especially the Coin Addict and Magnet, with the Freeze being the last one to upgrade. Keep upgrading those as you have the money and only after you get them to half, you can consider buying Shields – although the Spin Wheel Method is even better!
Don’t waste your shields!
As you probably know already, shields are extremely useful but also extremely difficult to come by. So don’t waste them and only keep them for use in extreme cases – after the 4th or later leap. If you use them before that, you’re basically wasting shields and a lot of money. Make sure you only use them when they matter and make a difference!
Unlock new Masks
As you level up, you unlock new masks which you can play as. Some are better than others and so far my favorite is the Dog, which gives you more coins and no snakes, so that’s one less enemy to worry about. Look at the bonuses offered by each new mask you unlock and play with the one you think is the most useful.
Choose your path quickly
It’s not just the obstacles and traps in the labyrinth that you have to worry about, but also the bar coming from down under, so you need to move fast. Always look for the fastest way forward and ignore the dots, even though they are the ones that score points. However, staying alive for as long as possible is your priority and if you spend too much time trying to collect all the dots, you won’t stay alive for that long. Also pay attention at the blue lines on the walls – these are extremely tricky and in my case, the #1 reason for the game over message after the bar coming from below.

With its retro-style graphics, Happymagenta’s Tomb of the Mask isn’t much unlike many of the company’s other titles in terms of look and feel. Despite the casual look and feel, this game is an iOS-only title, with no Android version available just yet. In terms of mechanics, this is an endless arcade game, and that means you’ll be exploring an infinite procedurally generated vertical labyrinth. In simple English, that means an endless, random maze.
But the “fun” begins when you find a mysterious mask that allows you to climb walls “easily and promptly” – the “fun” continues, so to say, when you find yourself having to avoid traps and enemies. Thankfully, you’ll also have some power-ups to help you when the going gets tough.If you’re a fan of Atari-style gaming, or maybe if you were already around when the Atari was in vogue, this game will appeal to you. In fact, you may find that some of the game’s features are reminiscent of Pac-Man.
In any case, you may need some help in improving your high score or leveling up, which is where our Tomb of the Mask strategy guide comes in. Let’s get to those tips. Look Before You Leap, But Act QuicklyWe sort-of mean this literally – before swiping toward a certain direction, you’ll have to look ahead of you and consider where you may end up after you swipe. But that’s not all, as you’ll also have to take into account what kind of swipes you may be making after that initial swipe, and where you’ll be ending up after those actions.
Planning is critical in this game, and if you don’t have a plan, that’s seriously going to hamper your progress as you may end up taking a literal one step forward and two or more steps back.While this may suggest taking your time in order to plan carefully, you also have to move quickly in the game, as you’ll also have to deal with the bar moving up from underneath, which could get you like the obstacles, traps, and enemies could. Collect As Many Power-Ups As PossibleWhenever you see a power-up in the tombs, then go ahead and get ‘em. We’ll tell you about a very useful one of these a little later on, but one example we’d like to single out is the Time Freeze. Collecting this power-up would temporarily stop the wave from underneath. You also have the Shield power-up, which gives you one extra hit before getting killed. Speaking of that, you can watch ad videos to restart and continue where you left off, though it’s only recommended you do this if you were particularly close to beating your high score.
More Information On Using Your Shield And How To Obtain ItThe Wheel of Fortune has the potential to earn you shields, which, as we said above, allow you to last a little longer on your runs by giving you an extra hit on an obstacle/enemy. A simple trick you can use is to try to get a shield per 200 coins spent on a spin. If you earn extra coins when spinning the wheel, you can use those extra coins on extra spins for a shield, but you generally want to stay fairly close to one shield per 200 coins spent when spinning the Wheel of Fortune.Otherwise, shields can be quite hard to obtain in the game, so if you have them, save them for when you really require them.
Generally speaking, we believe it’s best if you only use your shields after the fourth or fifth jumps; using them anytime sooner would be a waste of precious shields. How To Add To Your CoinsSee those glowing coins that appear at random points in the tombs?
Tap on those coins and you’ll activate Coin Addict, which is essentially the game’s own fever mode. All the dots nearby will turn into coins, and you will of course want to go after them at all costs. You can also add to your coin total by watching videos – as it is explicitly stated, ad videos will earn you 500 coins after you’re done watching them. Also, the Wheel of Fortune feature allows you to do just that – spin the wheel for a random chance at earning more coins. How To Reactivate VideosBy default, the game won’t serve ad videos to you on an infinite basis, but if you don’t want them to disappear, you can make them come right backsort of.
First thing to do would be to watch a video like you normally would, then return to the game’s home screen. After that, tap the screen when the Tap to Play option appears so you can get the ad video once again. Tap on the video to watch. This is a simple process you can repeat as often as you want to earn an unlimited amount of coins. Do Not Use Your Coins For RevivesOne definite no-no when spending your coins is to use them to revive your character. We strongly advise that you do not use your coins for revives, as you’ll be able to watch an advertisement anyway. Coins may not be as hard to come by as you think, but you shouldn’t waste them either to revive yourself, even if you’re close to beating your high score.
Be More Prudent In The Second Part Of Your RunThings start getting a little hairy once you reach the second part of your run, as that’s when you’ll have to deal with enemies and obstacles. We suggest observing the patterns of your enemies, so that way you could pass by them when you know you’re not going to get hit along the way. Taking the gung-ho approach and just charging past your enemies or the obstacles may get you killed way too early, so be prudent; don’t rush into things just because the stakes are higher in the second area.
Use Your Coins To Buy New MasksYou can unlock new masks in the game as you level up and earn more coins, and each of these masks has their own special capabilities. For example, the Dog mask gives you a coin bonus and eliminates snakes from the list of enemies. Before buying a new mask, check what kind of bonuses or privileges are available to you, and choose accordingly.This is the end of our exclusive strategy guide for Tomb of the Mask.
