Tips and tricks
- Watch the edges of the screen, not just your character. New threats almost always enter from the sides or the top, and spotting them early gives you a full second of extra time.
- Use short practice sessions. Ten focused minutes will improve your timing far more than an hour of frustrated retries.
- Learn the enemy or obstacle patterns before you try to go fast — most action games repeat a handful of behaviours, and once you recognise them the game slows down in your head.
- 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.
- Because this is a Physics game, use momentum rather than fighting it.
- Because this is a Skills game, practise the hardest input in isolation before you attempt a full run.
