Tips and tricks
- Short, frequent matches build skill faster than marathon sessions.
- Cooperative modes reward splitting roles: one player handles offence while the other covers, rather than both rushing.
- Do not tilt. After a bad round, the next one is a fresh start; the player who resets emotionally usually wins the set.
- Use the first round to test. Try something unusual and see how the opponent reacts; the information is worth more than the round.
- Because this is a Pixel game, pixel games often have very precise hitboxes — trust the sprite edges.
