Tips and tricks

  • Keep moving. Standing still is the most common way to lose an action round, because the game is designed to punish hesitation.
  • Use short practice sessions. Ten focused minutes will improve your timing far more than an hour of frustrated retries.
  • 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.
  • 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 Pixel game, pixel games often have very precise hitboxes — trust the sprite edges.
  • Because this is a Action game, keep moving.
