Welcome to the Official MadStone Strategy Guide! If you're looking for advice on how to improve your MadStone skills, or if you're just interested in how the game plays, you've come to the right place.
About the Guide
Hey everyone, this is Paul, from RiverMan Media. My brother Jacob and I created MadStone. Long before the game was finished, I spent hundreds of hours play testing it. I also played it a lot just for fun, which sometimes slowed down the game's progress! In this guide, you'll be getting inside information on how to play the game from the people that created it from start to finish. Enjoy!
Table of Contents
The Basics
This section covers everything new players should know to tackle the beginner and easy modes. I recommend that beginners also check out the interactive in-game tutorials. You can access them from the main menu (select "Training").
Cascade Details
You'll learn the precise rules that govern cascades, and how to use them to your advantage. Understanding cascades is vital for getting large combos. This information will also be really useful in the puzzle levels (the bonus rounds in Arcade mode).
The Combo System
Working the combo system is a huge key to winning MadStone. This section teaches the strategy behind maintaining a combo and provides advice on how to begin and end combos. There is a walkthrough of a large combo example, using screen shots to explain it step by step. You'll also get some hard numbers: how much Quake time you earn for large combos, how much time you lose per strike, and more.
All About the Quake
When is the best time to Quake? How much time should you earn before using a Quake? How do you maximize your chances of breaking an opponent's MadStones? All of these questions are covered in this section.
