- Be mindful of your surroundings
Nex Machina’s gameplay is relentless. New enemies are spawning rapidly, so the you should constantly be alert and looking for where the next wave of enemies will come from. - It’s all about the score
You should always try to improve your score. Basically everything you do in the game gives you score points. Try to save the humans, kill the enemies and to destroy anything that looks like it can be destroyed. - Multiplier is the key
The main secret of getting a good score is to increase your multiplier as quickly as you can. You can find multiplier tokens in yellow crates, which are sprinkled around in each world, or by successfully destroying a pattern of visitors. Enemies also start dropping multiplier tokens once you have all power-ups collected. - Keep up the human combo
Maintaining the human combo makes your multiplier increase faster. It’s a good idea to let the human meter deplete almost completely before picking up the next human, thus maximizing the duration of the combo. Remember that the combo carries over to the next level. - Know your beams
There are two types of laser beams in the game. Usual beams are bright pink and can be dashed through. Darker, purple beams can’t be dashed thorough and are supposed to be avoided. - Search for the secrets in each world
There are lots of secrets in each world of Nex Machina. From hidden levels to beacons that yield a large amount of score points. - Complete the dash minigame
At the end of each level you will see a large circle closing in on a smaller one around your character. If you dash right at the moment when two circles meet, you will get extra score. - Complete the world fast to get a better time bonus
While the game rewards precision, it is also good to try and complete the levels quickly, since at the end of each world you’ll be given a bonus to your score depending on how fast you were. - Reclaim lost power-ups
Whenever you die you drop one of your power-ups. It will then stay there for you to pick up until your next death, when you will loose another power-up. - Different weapons for different situations
Nex has a few different special weapons. Each of them is valuable and provides a lot of help depending on what world and level are you on. Swapping them accordingly whenever possible will improve your ability to deal with what the game throws at you.
