Tips and tricks
- Sound tells you where an enemy is before you can see it. Headphones help more than you would expect.
- Keep your cursor or crosshair roughly where enemies appear, not on the spot where the last one died.
- Headshots, weak points and combo multipliers are where high scores live; once survival is comfortable, start hunting for them.
- Learn the spawn points. Most levels reuse the same few entry points, and knowing them turns panic into routine.
- Because this is a Mobile game, turn on rotation lock so the screen does not flip mid-game.
