Advanced Strategies
Mastering Cobb Can Move requires understanding not just the rules, but how they interact.
Rule Priority System
When rules stack, you must prioritize:
| Priority | Rule | Action |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sight (SEE) | Stay in darkness |
| 2 | Sound (HEAR) | Move carefully |
| 3 | Smell (SMELL) | Keep distance |
| 4 | Pursuit (MOVE) | Keep moving |
Golden Rule: If sight is active, prioritize darkness above all else.
Optimal Pathfinding
Finding the best route requires checking each threat:
- Which areas are dark? (for sight)
- Which paths are quiet? (for sound)
- Which routes maintain distance? (for smell)
Find the route with the least exposure to the most dangerous threats.
Movement Timing
Timing is everything when rules stack:
- Watch Cobb's patrol patterns
- Move when Cobb faces away
- Pause at corners and intersections
- Never rush across open spaces
Handling Failures
When you fail, analyze immediately:
- Which rule killed you?
- Did you forget a rule was active?
- Did I misjudge a safe area?
- Did you rush when you should have waited?
Keep a mental checklist of all active rules.
Mental State Management
Cobb Can Move is as much mental as physical:
- Stay calm under pressure
- Don't panic when Cobb gets close
- Remember all active rules simultaneously
- Accept that some runs will fail
The game rewards patience and attention.
