Tips and tricks
- Move between shots. Many shooters make you an easy target only when you stand in one place.
- Sound tells you where an enemy is before you can see it. Headphones help more than you would expect.
- Headshots, weak points and combo multipliers are where high scores live; once survival is comfortable, start hunting for them.
- Aim first, then shoot. Spraying costs time or ammo and rarely helps; a single well-placed shot almost always beats three rushed ones.
- Because this is a Arcade game, restart early when a run goes wrong instead of grinding out a poor score.

In terms of time, think of levels of a few minutes each, with longer runs in survival modes. The learning curve is approachable at first, with a steep climb in the later waves. The controls are tap and drag based, which makes it comfortable on touch screens as well as with a mouse.
