Tips and tricks
- Use short practice sessions. Ten focused minutes will improve your timing far more than an hour of frustrated retries.
- Keep moving. Standing still is the most common way to lose an action round, because the game is designed to punish hesitation.
- 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.
- 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.
