Random practice won't get you to pro level. You need a structured approach. Here's a comprehensive training plan that took me from struggling at 10 platforms to consistently hitting 50+.
Week 1-2: Foundation Building
Goal: Consistent 15-platform runs
Focus: Visual estimation and timing consistency
Practice: Play 5 games daily. After each game, note what went wrong. Build awareness.
Week 3-4: Developing Intuition
Goal: Reach 25 platforms
Focus: Trust your instincts, reduce overthinking
Practice: Try the "fast play" method – make decisions quickly without second-guessing. This builds intuitive timing.
Week 5-6: Consistency Training
Goal: Hit 20+ platforms in 3 out of 5 games
Focus: Reducing variance, staying calm under pressure
Practice: Breathing exercises between games. Focus on maintaining composure as difficulty increases.
Week 7-8: Advanced Techniques
Goal: Break through to 30+ platforms
Focus: Platform-specific strategies, recovery from bad positions
Practice: Deliberately practice difficult scenarios. When you encounter a tricky platform configuration, restart and practice it repeatedly.
Week 9-12: Mastery Phase
Goal: Consistently 40+ platforms, occasional 50+
Focus: Mental game, marathon runs, peak performance
Practice: Longer sessions with built-in breaks. Track your mental state and performance correlation.
Daily Practice Structure
Warm-up (5 minutes): Two casual games, no pressure, just get into the rhythm.
Focused Practice (15 minutes): Apply the week's specific focus. Push yourself but don't burn out.
Cool-down (5 minutes): One final game where you apply everything you've learned. End on a positive note if possible.
Tracking Progress
Keep a simple log: date, high score, notes about what worked. Review weekly to see trends and adjust training focus.
When to Rest
Take at least one full rest day per week. Your brain consolidates learning during rest, and you'll often return stronger after a break.
Remember: Progress isn't linear. Plateaus are normal. Trust the process, and you'll see results!
