How To Play

All in one line   -  1 ,2 ,3, 4 to play cards

Detail Version

For each card, there are a direction and card type.

The first one point to 4 direction means that it can be used totally following your mouse pointing direction.

For the others, a single direction card has a 150% bonus compare to all direction card but it can only point to a certain direction.

Like below gif, when I use the last card (point to NE), my mouse is pointing to SW, then my character dash to the top.

Cooldown and Countdown

When you are playing, there are two timer you need to focus on,

the first one is the CoolDown time bar which is the larger and lower one. It starts counting each time you play a card.

After the CoolDown time is done, the CountDown time bar starts counting. When the CountDown time bar ran out, your character will automatically play a random card. (like below gif)

Note that there is a penalty for the card effect according to how fast you play the card after cool down

The maximum penalty is 60%
