STRATEGY & TIPS FOR DARK HOOD

Practice one tricky section at a time instead of replaying the whole game from the start every attempt.

Play a few rounds purely to learn the layout before trying for a high score — memorizing what's coming beats reacting blind.

Watch for a rhythm in the difficulty ramp — most arcade games speed up in predictable steps, not randomly.

Keep your eyes on where you're going, not on your own character — peripheral awareness of hazards matters more than watching yourself.
