Tips and tricks
- 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.
- 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".
- Use short practice sessions. Ten focused minutes will improve your timing far more than an hour of frustrated retries.
- Do not chase every bonus. Collectibles placed near danger are a trade-off the designer set for you; take them only when your position is safe.
- Because this is a Action game, keep moving.
- Because this is a Mobile game, turn on rotation lock so the screen does not flip mid-game.
