If that is not possible, then time your attack to swiftly land on them in between attacks.

If possible approach them from the opposite direction they are shooting.

You can also use a horizontal plank above your head for protection.

It takes time to elevate, so if they come after you and you can’t out-elevate them then run away horizontally and take advantage of the screen wrapping.

If they are below you and there is a small gap for them to travel through then keep going back and forth to not give them a chance to make it through.

If you are on a horizontal plane above them you are almost certain to win.

After the helmet comes off hit them once more to beat them.

If they are wearing a helmet expect to bounce off them & them to lose their helmet.

There is no penalty for hitting their side the same time as their head if you are slightly above them, so coming at a low angle gives you a greater probability of hitting them than falling at a more steep angle does.

Fly slightly off the ground and run into their upper half of their body from the side, or hit them when falling.

Never stand next to them or else they’ll hit your soul balloons with their swords.

When you press the movement keys you are not telling the game to immediately move your player in that direct, rather you are telling it to apply force in that direction, which in turn will either begin to provide movement in that direction or slow down movement in the opposite direction.

W key: acts like the up arrow key, controls elevation.

If you beat a level in one player or two player mode it also unlocks the other play mode.

You can go back and play previously beat levels again.

Initially only the first level is unlocked and other levels are locked until you beat preceding levels.

Choose what level you would like to start playing.

This will bring up the level select screen.

Fair warning: friendly fire is a thing! If your friend is competitive then this game might turn into a modern cartoon version of the Nintendo hit classic game Balloon Fight.

Click on the 1 or 2 at the bottom of the game welcome screen.

Fly slightly above the skeletons, bats and other evil creatures then descend on them to hit them in the heads.
