Nightshade Archary is one of the arcade games in the Diemakora collection. It loads in seconds and needs nothing installed. You will understand Nightshade Archary in about ten seconds and still be improving at it a week later. That is the arcade formula done right. Its tags tell you what to expect: it follows the hyper-casual formula: one mechanic, instant play and very short rounds; there is a journey with a beginning and an end rather than an endless score chase; you run and jump across platforms, and precise movement is the core skill.

Tips and tricks
- Learn the first thirty seconds perfectly. The opening is the same every time, so it should never be where you lose.
- Find the rhythm. Most arcade games have an underlying beat — taps, jumps or moves that fall on a regular interval — and once you feel it, your accuracy jumps.
- Look one step ahead of your character. Reacting to what is under you is too late; reacting to what is coming is exactly on time.
- Take a short break after three or four failed runs. Arcade games punish tired eyes more than any other genre.
- Because this is a Adventure game, explore side paths early; adventure games hide their best upgrades away from the main route.
- Because this is a Hypercasual game, find the rhythm of the single mechanic — that is the entire skill.
