Tips and tricks

  • If there is a reload, reload during quiet moments — never in the middle of a wave.
  • Move between shots. Many shooters make you an easy target only when you stand in one place.
  • Learn the spawn points. Most levels reuse the same few entry points, and knowing them turns panic into routine.
  • Keep your cursor or crosshair roughly where enemies appear, not on the spot where the last one died.
  • Because this is a Mobile game, turn on rotation lock so the screen does not flip mid-game.
