Squish Squad Tips: Sculpt, Squeeze and Score Higher

Squish Squad never asks you to follow a recipe, but a few habits make a great squishy much easier. Start at your bench by picking any mould — bun, heart, star, cloud, cat head, strawberry, donut or moon — then use the tools in whatever order you like. Drag to pull a ridge or push a groove, hold still to swell a spot, and paint with the jars on keys 1–7 or any colour from the picker. Layer colour over colour, use the gloss slider for a glossy or matte finish, then add as many stickers, faces, sprinkles, pearls and charms as you want.

The grade out of 100 rewards the coat of paint, colour, sculpting, decoration and squeeze, each with diminishing returns, so a little of everything beats piling on one thing. Set the softness before you squeeze: soft foam squashes deep and creeps back slowly, firm foam springs back with a bounce. Hold touch, mouse, Space or Ⓐ to dent the foam with the ASMR squelch, let go, and let it rise fully before you finish for the whole squeeze score.

Tap Finish (F) whenever you love it — a bare mould is still a valid squishy. Great squishies of 70 or more in a row raise your coin multiplier up to x3, and every fifth wish you grant calls a VIP whose wish bonus counts triple. The critter's wish in the bubble is only a bonus, never a requirement.
