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.
- 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.
- Keep moving. Standing still is the most common way to lose an action round, because the game is designed to punish hesitation.
- When you die, note exactly what killed you. The answer is usually one specific pattern, and fixing that one thing is worth more than "trying harder".
- Because this is a Hypercasual game, find the rhythm of the single mechanic — that is the entire skill.
- Because this is a Adventure game, explore side paths early; adventure games hide their best upgrades away from the main route.
