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".
- 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.
- Because this is a Clicker game, buy the cheapest upgrade that multiplies output rather than the flashiest one.
