One thing to notice as you play
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Refer to the controls when needed.
What counts as success
Clear five enemy waves before losing three lives. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
How a round unfolds
- Start and steer.
- Hold Fire.
- Avoid enemy projectiles.
- Clear the final tougher wave to win.
Choosing and moving on screen
Pointer/arrow movement and held Fire. Start / pause and New round are available. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
An example to follow
Move sideways between incoming shots. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Take a moment to compare.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Post-hit protection is temporary. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
