How to Play Tinhead
Quick start
Guide Tinhead across the planets of the Sprocket System, collect batteries and stars, and destroy Grim Squidge's machines. Change the Bounce Blaster angle before firing so shots reach low, level, or high targets, and look for ricochets that open switches or defeat enemies around cover. Keep momentum under control near conveyor belts and spikes, search side paths for health, and save difficult jumps until the landing area is visible.
Controls
D-pad: run and crouch. A: cycle the Bounce Blaster angle between low, level, and high. B: fire one bouncing shot. C: jump. Start: pause. The options screen can rearrange A, B, and C functions, so these are the default assignments. Use the angle indicator before firing into narrow passages.
