Scoring System
Rupees give 10 points when collected. Defeating enemies awards 50 points each. At the end, your final score adds a bonus of rupees collected x 20. Collect all 15 rupees and defeat all 4 enemies for the maximum possible score. High scores are saved to local storage.
Tips & Strategies
Beginner
- Collect rupees first since they are safe - only approach enemies when you are ready to fight
- Your sword swings in the direction you are facing, so face the enemy before pressing Space or Z
- Heart pickups at specific locations restore one heart - remember their positions for when you take damage
- Enemies patrol back and forth horizontally, so time your approach to attack from the side
Advanced
- Moblins are larger (radius 15) and easier to hit, while octoroks are smaller (radius 12) but have the same patrol pattern
- The sword hitbox extends 30 pixels in your facing direction - you can hit enemies before they touch you if timed correctly
- Collect all 15 rupees before reaching the Triforce to maximize your bonus (15 x 20 = 300 extra points)
- After getting hit by an enemy, you respawn at position (100, 300) - plan a safe route from there to avoid immediate re-hits
- Rock obstacles have varied sizes - memorize the layout to navigate the dungeon efficiently
Pro
- A perfect run collects all 15 rupees (150 points), defeats all 4 enemies (200 points), and gets the full rupee bonus (300 points) for 650+ total
- Time your sword attacks to hit enemies at maximum range (30 pixels) to avoid taking damage from their contact hitbox (25 pixels)
- Speed-run the level by plotting the shortest path through rupees while avoiding unnecessary enemy encounters
- Master the attack cooldown timing (15 frames) to chain sword strikes against multiple enemies in quick succession
