General Tips
- Staying on beat is the most important thing in the game. Get a rhythm down and stick with it. The multiplier in particular plays a big part.
- Don't be afraid to move your body when playing the game. I find I perform best when I'm bobbing my head up and down to the beat.
- Always look for the shopkeeper when you have gold. He sells a lot of great items, and it doesn't take that long to find him in Zone 1.
- Blow up gold walls to get some free gold. Just be careful not to blow up the shopkeeper, he seems to take it personally.
- Experiment with the different items and find what you like best. This is a game in which you improve by learning more about the items through experience.
- If you're in great shape, you may want to skip shrines. Otherwise, give them a shot to see what you'll get.
- Remember to keep your distance from enemies when you have weapons with longer reach.
- Keep your spells in mind when fighting tougher enemies, especially mini-bosses. They can often get you out of a jam.
