Top 5 Tips for JoyJoy
- Familiarize yourself with all of the weapons and their Ultra Attacks. It’s okay to have a favorite but you need to be flexible as you never know which power-ups you’ll get and when you’ll need to use different attacks.
- Know when to grab power-ups and when to let them lie for a bit. Particularly in the case of the power-ups that offer temporary assistance, it is sometimes better to keep them for when you really need them. Just don’t forget about them.
- Use your Ultra Attack. It’s easy to ignore it, but if you have a full Ultra Meter you should be using it soon. Ultra Attacks are great for clearing out crowds, but make sure you look for a good opportunity to cut a retreat before your Ultra Meter runs dry.
- Keep moving. If you’ve played a twin-stick shooter before you probably don’t need this advice, but enemies in games like these are designed to swarm a stationary target. Always be on the go.
- Aim your shots. The game will do its best to auto-target if you stop shooting, but don’t rely on that. The nearest target isn’t always the one you want to be shooting at, and a lot of the weapons don’t track well if you’re not personally directing them.

Playing with a controller on the iPhone started as a joke — no, literally, it did. So how did we get from there to today’s PS4/XBox support?
