A checked unsuccessful attempt — not a winning solution
The rules you need
- Use arrows or WASD to move on desktop; changing direction can turn the hero before a later step.
- A short desktop click triggers a flip from the hero's position. The tutorial asks you to flip the tile under an enemy; this is not a distant-tile editor.
- Watch hearts and the enemy-clear count. The result screen advises lining enemies up and says flip waves travel the whole row.
First Flip: why moving and flipping can still leave the enemy alive
The checked first arena has a grid, fixed blocks, a hero and one pursuing enemy. Three attempts ended without a knockout. The useful comparison is between visible movement/flip feedback and the actual clear counter, not a claim that random clicks solve the arena.
Move, face and trigger a flip
Down inputs moved the hero into the field. A short click produced a highlighted directional strip, and the tutorial advanced from movement guidance to the flip instruction. The strip shows an action was triggered; it does not establish a knockout.
Check the remaining enemy and health
The enemy was still present while hearts fell. The tutorial subsequently showed Smash an enemy into a wall. That prompt supplies a tactic to try, but its appearance alone is not a cleared enemy.
Read the ended attempt honestly
The final checked attempt ended at So close!: lives spent, 0/1 cleared, score 0, time 14 seconds and 1 enemy left. The result's own tip is to line enemies up before flipping. This example records the failed approach, not a completed arena.
Read the ended attempt honestly — actual result
What this example teaches
Movement, facing and the flip animation are separate from the victory condition. Repeated contact consumed the hearts before a knockout was confirmed. For the next attempt, establish the enemy's line and an escape route before spending the flip; use the clear counter to test whether that change helped.
Mistakes to avoid
- Do not treat a lit strip or the next tutorial sentence as proof that an enemy was defeated.
- Do not remain in contact with the pursuing enemy while deciding the next input. The live arena keeps running; use Pause when reading the screen.
Questions about this board
Did this attempt clear First Flip?
No. The saved result explicitly says 0/1 cleared and one enemy left. A winning route still needs a separate verified attempt.
Why did clicking a distant tile not select it?
The observed desktop action is a directional flip from the hero. Position and facing matter; the pointer is not an unrestricted board-editing tool.
Other modes and further play
The home screen offers Campaign, Daily challenge, Tasks, Shop and Survive. Those menu entries are not all-mode completion proof. This guide establishes the opening controls, action feedback and an ended unsuccessful attempt; it makes no claim of an enemy knockout.
