Freezing Knights

Getting Started

Learn each knight's strengths early. One knight may be better at dealing damage while the other provides support or defense. Understand the turn order: you move both knights, then enemies act. Positioning is crucial — don't leave a knight surrounded by enemies.

Pay attention to the dodge mechanic. You can avoid enemy attacks by timing your movements correctly. This is especially important against bosses and powerful enemies where taking hits is costly.

Advanced Tips

• Position Knights to Protect Each Other — Place them so they can support each other in combat
• Save Special Abilities for Tough Encounters — Don't waste powerful attacks on weak enemies
• Explore Thoroughly for Hidden Items — PICO-8 games often hide secrets in unexpected places
• Learn Enemy Attack Patterns — Each enemy type has predictable behaviors; exploit them
• Manage Your Resources — Healing items and special abilities have limited uses
• Use the Environment — Some obstacles can be used to block enemy movement
• Level Up Strategically — Focus upgrades on the playstyle that suits your team

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Separating Your Knights Too Far — They can't support each other if they're on opposite sides of the map
• Wasting Healing Items on Minor Wounds — Save them for critical moments
• Not Using the Dodge Mechanic — Taking unnecessary damage makes the game much harder
• Rushing Into Combat — Assess the situation before engaging; retreating is sometimes smarter
• Ignoring One Knight — Both characters need attention; a neglected knight becomes a liability
• Not Exploring Side Paths — Hidden items and shortcuts are often off the main route
