Tips and tricks
- If there is a dash, jump or dodge move, treat it as a resource: use it to escape, not to attack, until you know the level.
- Sound is a cue. Many action games telegraph attacks with an audio effect a moment before the visual one — play with sound on when you are learning.
- Keep moving. Standing still is the most common way to lose an action round, because the game is designed to punish hesitation.
- Do not chase every bonus. Collectibles placed near danger are a trade-off the designer set for you; take them only when your position is safe.
- Because this is a Pixel game, pixel games often have very precise hitboxes — trust the sprite edges.
- Because this is a Action game, keep moving.
