Tips and tricks
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Hypercasual game, find the rhythm of the single mechanic — that is the entire skill.
