How I Finally Figured Out Squid Haus Basics
So last week, I downloaded Squid Haus after seeing folks chat about it. Looked messy, honestly. But hey, everyone seemed hyped, so I gave it a shot. Man, I got wrecked. Like, badly.
I started real simple: just clicking around. Didn’t even know what half the buttons did. Jumped straight into a match. Big mistake. Got shot, like, immediately. Like five times before I even moved my dude properly. Felt like a total idiot holding that controller.
After maybe ten rounds of pure losing, I stopped. Needed a breather. Decided to actually look at the practice room nobody told me about! Found it hidden in the menu. Seriously, why hide the good stuff? Spent an hour there later that night. No enemies, just me and the map. Learned how to actually move without tripping over myself. That alone was huge.
Key things I practiced:
- Moving sideways behind walls. Sounds dumb, but I kept bumping into stuff.
- Swinging my arms like a maniac at first. Calmed down, focused on smaller hits.
- Figuring out that weird jump-dash thing everyone does.
Biggest mistake? Trying to win fights head-on. Just charged in swinging. Got obliterated every single time. Learned the hard way it’s more about hiding spots and surprise hits. Found corners nobody bothered checking. Started catching folks off guard. Felt sneaky. Felt good.
Started slow. Played super cautious. Hid more than I attacked. Watched where the winners went. Stalked their paths. Copied their spots. Seriously, just followed them like a creepy shadow learning the map.
First time I actually won? Pure luck. Three other guys fighting each other. I just sneaked up and tapped the last guy standing. Screen flashed “Victory!” I almost yelled. Just a simple stab after the chaos. Won me the round. Didn’t even feel like I earned it, but hey, it counted!
Kept at it though. Every day for a bit. Mainly practiced that dash-jump-wall thing until my thumb hurt. Started catching players zooming around. Aim felt better. Got a few real wins where I knew what I was doing. Stopped charging like a bull. Became that sneaky guy in the corners.
Took losing maybe twenty rounds before it clicked. Don’t rush. Use the walls. Watch the other players. Hide often. Win the small fights. You ain’t taking down the whole map alone as a newbie. Forget that. Survive first. Win later.
Just gotta play smart, not fast. Hide. Dash when needed. Hit people who ain’t looking. And yeah, practice that beginner area! Saved my skin. Honestly, without that room, I’d probably be rage-deleting the game by now.
