Game instructions

Your main objective is to complete each level by defeating enemies and finding your way to the exit. Use a wide variety of weapons and keep moving, as enemies attack in large groups from every direction. Collect health, armor, ammunition, and power-ups, while searching the environment for hidden secrets. On open arenas, maintain distance and avoid being surrounded. Different enemies require different tactics: weaker enemies can be quickly eliminated with basic weapons, while larger threats are best handled with powerful guns and explosives. Save your strongest ammunition for dangerous encounters, learn the layout of each arena, and use the available space to your advantage.
