Always have at least one bomb

Sometimes coins block the path and you can't get around, in this case you can destroy them with a bomb.

It's very easy to lose to Deep Blues if you don't have bombs, so either save one for him or be very careful.

What if the level exit is blocked?

Well, you have three options:
  • Find a trapdoor. As shrimple as that.

  • Find a crack in the floor and blow it up with a bomb. You have one, right?

  • In extreme cases, just wait for the song to end.

Wait, I can collect coins?

Uh, kinda.
If you kill a monster and move to the next level, the money dropped from it will be automatically picked up.
You can spend them at the conjurer's or transmogrifier's shops, although the first time is always free.

Find the Ring of Peace

Every enemy you kill is one tile you can't step on, so reducing the number of enemies will make your life easier.

Find a new shovel as soon as possible

You'll often get into situations where you can only get around through stone walls, and taking damage or wasting bombs every time isn't cool, so it's worth finding a better shovel.

Golden weapons = Regular weapons

Nuff said.
