Gameplay tips:

1. Dash can be used both on the ground and in air. When used without pressing movement inputs, the dash gives a vertical boost instead of a horizontal one.
2. There are glowing nodes around the map that the Inspector Drill can break for rewards.
3. Sometimes your way may be blocked by rubble, This can be destroyed after finding a detonator, pointed by a yellow arrow.
4. Some weapons have special ammo which can be swapped when using the weapon.
5. The game has a save feature which lets the player continue from the last checkpoint reached. A new game can be started from the menu.
