Controls


You can either play with the :

  • Arrow keys, Z to attack, and Space to diffuse or
  • WASD, J to attack, and Space to diffuse


Once you press one of the movement keys at the start of the game, you are force to use those keys until GameOver or a refresh.


Tips


Enemies


You cannot die from enemies, they will only stun and delay you. There are 5 types enemies that are spawn in the game. Each type has is basically the same except in colour and their special move. They all swipe and move similar. They are introduced throughout gameplay in the following order:

  • Black - Your basic enemy. Special move - Running wildly towards you.
  • Blue - Fires a blue orb that freezes you for some time.
  • Red - Fires a bouncing fire orb that'll delay you for some time.
  • Green - Fires a black ink blob that will delay you for some time.
  • White - Fires lightning at you that will delay you for some time.
  • Deal with all enemies the exact same way.


Combat


  • * Press down to go down a level.
  • Use the downward smash to kill enemies. It is the fastest method for getting rid of them.
  • Do not immediately press Space to diffuse a bomb after your smash or you will freeze your character. You can release Space to unfreeze her. Just press space after her smash animation is complete.
  • Use jump kick to knock enemies off of ledges/edges.
  • Never just stand and fight. Use one of the two above tips.
  • If you are hit, press Up while falling to regain your character's senses.
  • With the lazer power-up, jump and shoot to keep your movement.
  • If you are on a different platform, enemies will not use their special move, but will jump to get to you. Use this to your advantage. You can lure enemies away from bombs as they jump/drop to get at you.
  • If an enemy is on the same platform as the bomb, always deal with them first.


Diffusing Bombs


  • * Always go for the bomb that will explode within 10 seconds. Otherwise, just go for the bomb that will explode the soonest unless a bomb is directly on the way and you are assured that you will make it in time for farther one.
  • If you start diffusing a bomb with 1 second left, you will be successful.
  • You can diffuse a bomb if you are in its hitbox. Meaning as long as you are touching the bomb even if you are below or above it, you can diffuse it.
  • Generally, diffuse top to bottom as getting up is slower than falling.


Movement


  • * Hold Up to jump higher
  • Use double jump to adjust your positioning.
  • The door and ramp on the right of the lightning bolt sign is not an actual platform. Weird, eh?
  • It is possible to jump two levels of the fire escape with your double jump if you activate your 2nd jump at the 1st's peak. If you cannot get this consistently, don't attempt it as you will lose time.
  • Get all power-ups, they will disappear with time.
  • The jump to the pawn shop sign from the garage below it must be double jumped.
  • The right-side of the map will give you the hardest time - landing on the A/C units. If you double jump from the Lightning Bolt Sign on the left, you can reach the uppermost A/C fairly consistently.
  • Internalize/memorize the map so you can plan your jumps instinctually.
