"Swamp Fever: Level 1": "Eat Your Brains" song

In the bar in the abandoned town, find the jukebox and play it to hear "Eat Your Brains" by Jonathan Coulton.

Defeating Hunters or Jockeys

When a Hunter is jumping at you use the shove move to force him to stumble back preventing him from landing on you. Doing this will also work on the Jockey. This strategy however will not work for a Charger who is running, a Witch, or Tank.
