– If enemies glow blue, you can dash through them to collect health
– Need to dash through 10 blue enemies to get a health boost
– Temporary weapon boost from red enemies
– This lets you shoot through enemies damaging the ones behind them
– Green temporarily boosts your walking speed
– For red and green enemies, a shrinking colored circle will appear above your head letting you know how much time you have before you run out
– The dash mechanic is unlimited even when dashing through the air
– After defeating bosses, they will appear in other levels to help you progress
– One boss in the game is named Battalion (temporary)
– This particular boss has an instant kill
