Tips and tricks
- Keep moving. Standing still is the most common way to lose an action round, because the game is designed to punish hesitation.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Because this is a Jumping game, watch the landing spot, not your character.
- Because this is a Collecting game, plan a route that passes everything once.

The controls are tap and drag based, which makes it comfortable on touch screens as well as with a mouse.
