My Knowledge of Back Off, Barbarian!

When you start the game, you will notice boxes with arrows in it. To move to that box, you press the button that you use to move in the direction of the arrow and then you move in it. EXAMPLE TIME

I have WASD rigged up for movement, so pretend that every 6 key is my char.

If I wanted to move downwards, I would have to press the W key (which is the key I use to move up), not the S key (Which I use to move down).

Generally, you want to move away from the enemies. Which, of course, you are very right. But here's the thing: sometimes it is hard to because of the map. The easiest map to play on, in my opinion, is the forest one (not the one with aton of bridges), because it has a nice, open space. See the space below for advanced tips and tricks.

Like I said in the top, you want to move away from enemies. But sometimes you find yourself cornered. So what do you do, cower in it and wait for death? NO! You cheat death! Just before they try to jump on you, you move to the spot where they were, and the enemy gets ticked off! Congratulations, you just cheated death in his own game! Now get ready for him to slap you.

I will update this guide sometimes.
