Booster Decision Lab

Pixel Flow Power Ups

A booster is good only when it changes the next move. Pick the blocker, then decide whether to spend, save, restart, or match the board first.

Spend or save

What is blocking this run?

RecommendationSave or Add Tray

Use Add Tray only if the extra slot protects two pigs that can both hit the opener. Otherwise restart before spending.

1Pixel Flow Add Tray power-upAdd Tray

Best for: Saving a run when two useful pigs are about to arrive but the five slots are already tight.

Save when: The board is still closed and you cannot immediately use the extra slot.

Mistake: Using it before the opener color is visible.

2Pixel Flow Hand power-upHand

Best for: Removing one wrong pig so the real opener can enter the tray.

Save when: Several slots are bad. Hand fixes one problem, not a full queue collapse.

Mistake: Using it on an annoying pig instead of the pig blocking the next clear.

3Pixel Flow Shuffle power-upShuffle

Best for: Recovering a matching board where you know the next needed color and the belt will not serve it.

Save when: The board is still blocked. Shuffling before opening space usually changes nothing.

Mistake: Treating Shuffle as a solver instead of a queue reset.

4Pixel Flow Super Shooter power-upSuper Shooter

Best for: Pushing through a large blocker after you confirm it is the real route opener.

Save when: You have not identified the blocker that unlocks the rest of the board.

Mistake: Spending it on scattered pixels that normal ammo can clear.

Decision flow

Spend only after these checks.

1. Is the board open?

If the real blocker is still closed, most boosters only delay the same problem.

2. Is one pig blocking everything?

Use Hand for one bad stored pig. Do not use it for a full queue collapse.

3. Is the belt order the only issue?

Shuffle is strongest after you know the exact color you need next.

4. Can an extra slot save two useful pigs?

Add Tray is worth it when the added space directly protects a route opener.
