Instructions

🎮 How to Play

Welcome to Tied Up gameplay! Your character is a small ball tied by a spring to a larger, stationary ball. To move, simply click or tap and drag to pull the small ball, then release to let it swing around the anchor point. Your goal is to use this swinging motion to dodge incoming enemy waves. You can also attack by colliding your small ball with enemies. You start with 3 lives; each hit from an enemy costs one life. Survive as long as possible to beat your high score in this addictive physics-based action game.

🎯 Objectives

The primary objective in Tied Up is survival. Your short-term goal is to successfully navigate each wave of enemies without getting hit. Each wave you clear increases your score, so your long-term target is to achieve the highest possible score by surviving as many waves as you can. Victory is measured by your position on the leaderboard. To be successful, you must master the swinging physics to expertly dodge attacks and strategically use your own ball to take down enemies when possible.

💡 Pro Tips

Mastering Tied Up requires more than just quick reflexes. Use these pro tips to boost your score and survival time.

🎪 Master the Swing: Don't just fling randomly. Learn to control the pendulum-like motion. Building a consistent, wide swing gives you more control and makes dodging large groups easier.
⚡ Strategic Movement: Sometimes, small, controlled movements near the anchor point are safer than wild, long swings, especially when enemies are closing in from all sides.
💰 Score Optimization: While dodging is key, don’t be afraid to attack. Deliberately colliding with enemies not only thins their numbers but also often rewards bonus points. Weigh the risk versus reward!
🏆 Perimeter Awareness: Keep your small ball away from the edges of the screen
