Tips and tricks
- Learn the enemy or obstacle patterns before you try to go fast — most action games repeat a handful of behaviours, and once you recognise them the game slows down in your head.
- 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.
- Sound is a cue. Many action games telegraph attacks with an audio effect a moment before the visual one — play with sound on when you are learning.
- Because this is a Shooting game, aim before you fire, and fire in short bursts.
- Because this is a Action game, keep moving.
