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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Because this is a Animal game, each animal usually has a unique ability — test them all.
