A useful order for your first run
- Learn the two room objectives. The beginner guide explains why breaking every object is only half the job.
- Know your next unlock. Keep the weapon growth table and coin upgrade costs separate: they are different progression systems.
- Read the next enemy before entering. Use the 30-level chapter guide, then follow its links to the attack reference.
- Change position when a shot is blocked. The cover illustration shows why moving around an edge matters more than holding fire.
- Know how to recover. Read continue versus restart before choosing after a defeat.
