Tips and tricks
- Sound tells you where an enemy is before you can see it. Headphones help more than you would expect.
- Prioritise the threat that will hurt you soonest, not the one that is closest or biggest. Fast enemies before slow ones, shooters before melee.
- Aim first, then shoot. Spraying costs time or ammo and rarely helps; a single well-placed shot almost always beats three rushed ones.
- Learn the spawn points. Most levels reuse the same few entry points, and knowing them turns panic into routine.
- Because this is a Hypercasual game, find the rhythm of the single mechanic — that is the entire skill.
