How to Play

Beginner’s Guide:

• Step 1: Download and install the game from your app store, then launch it. Begin with the tutorial level that introduces basic controls and mechanics.
• Step 2: Start collecting energy orbs to activate your weapons. Focus on defeating enemies in the first wave to build confidence with the combat system. Watch for enemy attack patterns to time your dodges effectively.

Pro Tips:

• Master the dodge roll – this is crucial for survival against fast-moving enemies. Timing your dodge rolls correctly can prevent frustrating game overs.
