Tips and tricks
- Do not chase every bonus. Collectibles placed near danger are a trade-off the designer set for you; take them only when your position is safe.
- 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.
- Use short practice sessions. Ten focused minutes will improve your timing far more than an hour of frustrated retries.
- Watch the edges of the screen, not just your character. New threats almost always enter from the sides or the top, and spotting them early gives you a full second of extra time.
- Because this is a Gun game, reload in quiet moments, never mid-wave.
