Tips and tricks
- 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.
- When you die, note exactly what killed you. The answer is usually one specific pattern, and fixing that one thing is worth more than "trying harder".
- 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.
- Keep moving. Standing still is the most common way to lose an action round, because the game is designed to punish hesitation.
- Because this is a Animal game, each animal usually has a unique ability — test them all.
- Because this is a Classic game, the old rules still apply.
