How to Play The Merchant
Keep your eyes on the part of the screen that will kill you, not on your own character. Anticipating the next obstacle matters more than watching the current one.
Learn the pattern before you try to beat it. Almost every failure in The Merchant comes from reacting too early rather than too late.
Controls
Expect a very small control set: the arrow keys, WASD, or simply a tap anywhere on the screen. The challenge is timing rather than dexterity.
The in-game screen lists the exact keys or buttons before the first level.
Tips & Tricks
