Sometimes, you can get more victories and earn more coins by playing the practice version of a round, rather than by playing against a real life opponent in a round. To figure out if this is the case or not for a particular stage, simply experiment. Practice mode will pit you against a computer-controlled player. Computer-controlled players tend to be easier to beat in the later stages, while in the earlier stages they can get very tough to beat.

The stronger the materials that you have for your gun, the easier it is to win. Skip over the plastic and buy the steel as soon as you can (it only costs 150 coins to do so). Once you get 150 coins, delete Gun 1 from your inventory (don’t even bother unlocking the second gun) and then start building a new gun. Use the starting grid (the small grid) and then scroll over to the steel materials and buy them. This gun will automatically be better and more powerful.

Once you unlock the bigger grids, you can set blocks on top of each other, not just next to each other, allowing you to make a wider gun, which can potentially help you stop recoil. The second grid only allows you to build 2 blocks deep, which ends up making strange-looking guns since the muzzle has to be either on the left or the right side, but the third grid size allows you to build symmetrical guns.

To some degree, though, it doesn’t even matter how you construct your guns. If you want, you can even simply throw random parts all over the place, and the gun will still fire as intended, even if the muzzle is on the back side of the gun, and even if half of the blocks that you built the gun with are simply floating in mid air. The left side of the grid, btw, will ALWAYS be the side that the bullet comes out of, so if you place the tip of the muzzle on the right side, your gun will be backwards.

You also don’t have to use all of your blocks, or even half of them, if you get a new grid. You can build a small gun in a big grid, and it will still give you the same amount of ammo and the same performance, and allow you to win that much more easily against computer opponents, and to rank up faster by beating them. Also, even though you rank up faster by winning, you rank up fastest by beating PvP opponents – computer opponents earn you less experience points.
