Yeah, it can be quite tricky to shake off! What worked best for me in my playtesting was trying to stay well away where possible and using pills only when I felt I needed to, but there is some luck involved, so it might not work for everyone. I imagine there are other strategies that may also work, maybe even better!
Movement was something I was planning on tweaking near the end, but unfortunately didn't quite get around to.
Anyway, thanks for playing!
