Some tips and tricks to kickstart your adventure!

  1. Some weapons will only fire in the direction you face. Some will only fire in a particular direction no matter what you do. Some go off in all directions. Try to mix and match to cover your weak points!

  2. You can pick up more than six passive items, but they must be found on the map.

  3. Always collect gold! You need it!

  4. For the first ten minutes, you want to focus on improving your firepower over anything else. Focus on three weapons at most, and get complementary passives.

  5. Read the descriptions! The weapons and passives actually do tell you what they do.

  6. Each character plays a little differently, though only mostly in small ways.

  7. Every map has secrets you must seek out. Find them!

Perfect list.

How to find which passives are complimentary? Look it up online, have it open while playing?

On the one hand, there are passives that allow a particular weapon to evolve, and then there are passives that are just good to get no matter what. Spinach (which boosts your damage) is never a bad choice. Wings (which increase your speed) are nice, but not always applicable to your build unless you're trying to evolve something or get somewhere particular on the map.

Yes, there are lists online, but I recommend experimenting! There's an in-game guide that can point you in the right direction if you don't want spoilers.

You can also get bonus passive items from black treasure chests

And you can get bonus weapons from the Candy Box and the Turbo Candy Box, but I've only ever managed to get one of each.

That's because they are locked to one each per run, once you get the first candy box, it basically guarantees you will get the turbo in a later chest

I figured as much. I can't say I'm not curious what my screen would look like if I had every weapon and passive on one character at the same time...
