Try to find the best way TO kill everybody like a gun with infinite ammo or a melee weapon that doesn't break.Guns to look for:mini-gun,nuke,plasma gun,and poisonous gas if you can find it.Melee weapons you have to look for:katana,car,tree,people,and the best modded weapon in the game,the moon.

GnomeSlice

@Tristan Yes.

Do you have a gamepad?

It makes it a lot easier to play.

Tristan

@GnomeSlice I do not. Which could be why I'm having so much trouble.

GnomeSlice

@Tristan No, you're having trouble because the controls are extremely difficult.

The biggest plus of a gamepad is it lets you map your dash button to a bumper.

Tristan

I keep screwing up the wall running.

GnomeSlice

@Tristan Yessss me too. Your instinct is to jump, when you really just need to hold 'up'.

Tristan

10:09 PM

@GnomeSlice Exactly! Which kept causing me to jump into spikes.

GnomeSlice

@Tristan Which character have you been using?

Tristan

@GnomeSlice The default guy. The blue one, I think.

GnomeSlice

@Mana Er... then what's this 'Invisible War' I got in a bargain bin?

@Tristan Ah, yes.

The little purple girl can jump three times. Might make it easier for you to correct mistakes.

However, her jumps aren't near as high.

Q: What are the differences between the characters?

When you begin a level, you have the option to select one of four characters. What are the differences between these four characters? They don't appear to be purely cosmetic, as the third one (short girl with dusters) has a triple jump, which none of the others have.
