Strategy Guide
This is a placeholder for the strategy guide that will be posted to this site
eventually. Until the game is complete, the guide can't possibly
be complete either.
I will note that the Kroz series of games, at one time, had their own strategy
guide. Because Cruz is quite faithful to the original series in terms of
gameplay mechanics and level design, the classic Kroz strategies will apply to
both games.
For now, here are a few tips to help get you started...
-
Don't forget you can move diagonally. The Home, End, Page Up, and Page Down
keys move diagonally.
-
Mouse click-to-move controls are new to Kroz-style games. Some parts of certain
levels are much easier to complete with mouse controls, while others
(especially sideways levels and boulder puzzles) are easier to complete with
classic keyboard controls. Experiment and find out which control scheme works
best for you.
-
Enemies move synchronously. If you time your movements to when they pause, you
can sneak by them with minimal damage.
-
You will often need to decide whether to expend whips or teleports in order to
clear a difficult obstacle. Sometimes, charging right through costs less in
terms of inventory (usually gems) than it would if you had expended many whips.
-
It's a good idea to use teleports when you are genuinely trapped; wasting them
can have consequences later in the game, when you really need them. However,
seasoned players can economize and use teleports to gain maximum points in
certain situations.
-
Never waste keys! Even if you manage to collect extras and find a way around
locked doors without expending some, it's best to wait to use them. For tough
levels later on, you can breeze by them with the keys you saved from earlier
levels.
