Gameplay

How to play Shelly

  • Aim slightly ahead of moving enemies so more pellets connect.
  • Do not auto-aim at maximum range when precise chip damage matters.
  • Cycle Supers at close range: a full hit can quickly charge the next one.
  • Keep useful walls intact until breaking them creates a clear advantage.
