Is speed a factor in diagonal traversal? - Red and White Race Car on Track

In response to the following Reddit post:

"[I]f you're struggling with diagonals this is what I found [...]: It's all in the SPEED. Accuracy doesn't seem to have that big of a part [i]n it. [...]

The margin of error you have to complete a diagonal is pretty large(on my Galaxy S4 I could be off by about 2-3mm from the center of the orb/diagonal and still have it register), but as long as you move quick, the game seems to "auto-register" the movement as a diagonal. The best way I can describe it is a "flick" of your thumb."

Does speed actually factor into diagonal orb movement?



Best Answer

It seems that the key to moving orbs diagonally, is to swipe really fast on your screen.
According to the following links:

I normally diagonal swipe when I'm rushing through a big combo. But I only succeed 2/5 of the time.
