Tips and tricks
- 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.
- If there is a reload, reload during quiet moments — never in the middle of a wave.
- Prioritise the threat that will hurt you soonest, not the one that is closest or biggest. Fast enemies before slow ones, shooters before melee.
- Because this is a Pixel game, pixel games often have very precise hitboxes — trust the sprite edges.
- Because this is a Minecraft game, gather before you build; running out mid-project is the classic mistake.
