PLAYER'S GUIDE

◈ GAMEPLAY

Single Player — Battle AI-controlled hexapods. Destroy all enemies to win. If your robot is destroyed, the battle ends.

Multiplayer — Up to 4 pilots fight online. The host creates a room and shares the 4-character code. Joining pilots enter the code and ready up; the host launches when all are ready. No AI opponents.

◈ BATTLE SETUP
◈ ARENA Choose one of 6 maps — Training, Ruins, Mars, Urban, Mosaic, or Pit.
◈ ENEMIES Select 1–8 AI opponents (Single Player only). The difficulty scales with count.
◈ SOUND / VOICE / MUSIC Adjust each volume level independently before launching.
◈ VR MODE Toggle on to launch in Meta Quest immersive mode (appears when a headset is detected).
◈ HEAT MANAGEMENT

Every weapon discharge generates heat. Reaching 85% triggers a SHUTDOWN — your robot freezes until it cools to ~55%. Cooling happens continuously, even while moving.

Press O (PC) · Right B (VR) · OVERRIDE (Mobile) to break out of shutdown before its 5 second warning expires running at high heat levels causes damage to your hexapod.

◈ GEAR (1–9) PC, Slider Mobile, Y+Right Stick Up/Down on Quest Higher gear = faster movement, more heat per shot, and slower cooling. Lower gear = cooler and more efficient. Change gear at any time during battle.
◈ ROCKET JUMP Adds a 7% heat penalty on top of normal weapon heat.
◈ CL BAR (HUD) The Cooling Efficiency bar — a longer bar means faster cooling. Low gear = long bar.
◈ DAMAGE

Your robot has 7 damageable parts: the body and 6 legs — Front (F), Front-Right (FR), Rear-Right (RR), Rear (R), Rear-Left (RL), and Front-Left (FL).

◈ BODY Losing all body HP destroys your robot and ends the battle (or eliminates you in Multiplayer).
◈ LEGS Legs can be damaged or destroyed. A destroyed leg (dashed spoke in the HUD) reduces mobility. You cannot walk once yoy're below 3 legs
◈ HUD PANEL Bottom-left on PC/VR, top-right on mobile. Shows Health Points (HP), Heat (HE), Speed Gear (SP), and Cooling Effeciency (CL) bars above the hexapod damage diagram.
