Tips and tricks
- Prioritise the threat that will hurt you soonest, not the one that is closest or biggest. Fast enemies before slow ones, shooters before melee.
- Keep your cursor or crosshair roughly where enemies appear, not on the spot where the last one died.
- Learn the spawn points. Most levels reuse the same few entry points, and knowing them turns panic into routine.
- Headshots, weak points and combo multipliers are where high scores live; once survival is comfortable, start hunting for them.
- Because this is a Action game, keep moving.
- Because this is a Pixel game, pixel games often have very precise hitboxes — trust the sprite edges.
