Will you succeed in paying your loan back ? Will you let your debt swallow you whole ? Or will you awaken to the Underground Robot Fight Beauty, and become the uncontested boss of the arena ?\n\n## How to play (or at least how it was meant to be played)\n\nThe game has two phases, a preparation phase and a fighting phase.\n\nYou win when you manage to pay back your loan.\n\nTo earn money, you can have your robot fight every night. The stronger the foe, the greater the reward.\n\nEither you win or lose, if your robot is damaged, it is repaired the following day. This is not magic, this is engineering. (you can at least handle this much after studying this for 5 years I hope)\n\nYou pay interests everyday as long as you have ongoing loans. Generally, the higher the loans, the higher the interests amount.\n\nYou can spend your remaining fund on robot upgrade to win over tougher opponents, and earn more money.\n\nYou lose if you go bankrupt.\n\n### Fights explained\n\n![1570479622105.png](\/\/\/raw\/f03\/92\/z\/27966.png)\n\nThis is a one on one robot fight with a turn-based combat system. Your robot is always on the left hand side.\n\nYou can choose one of 3 attack types :\n\n- Attack : Your robot performs a physical attack, effective against Projectile\n- Guard : Your robot attempts to parry and counter incoming attack, effective against Attack\n- Projectile : Your robot performs a ranged attack, effective against Guard\n\nBoth robot strike at the same time when you press either of three attack button.\n\nYou win if your oponent's health reaches 0.\n\nYou lose if your robot's health reaches 0. \n\n**PRO TIPS**\n\n1. enemy attacks are not random. Each enemy generally have a preference for a certain attack type. Stay alert ! (we all have our favorite attack in such games don't we ?)\n2. Each attack type deals more damage when your opponent perform a certain other attack type. be sure to check health bars when blows are exchanged.\n3. On the right side of the screen, an attack type icon is displayed next to a percentage range. This is the probability for your oponent to perform an attack of the shown type (SKL on the screenshot above). The range will get more precise as your OBS stat increases.\n\n### Preparation phase\n\nDuring this phase, you can\n\n- pay back your loan (and win if you pay back everything)\n- upgrade your robot or your character\n\n#### Money\n\n![1570479032178.png](\/\/\/raw\/f03\/92\/z\/2796b.png)\n\nIn this panel, you can check how much you have left to pay, and info about each of the loans you have taken.\n\nYes, you are already broke AND indebted with one loan, and you can borrow more money if you need.\n\nThe fights will get tougher as you days pass so you'll probably need to resort to this to overcome stronger enemies. Be careful though as your daily payments will increase too. Don't go bankrupt!\n\n#### Robot upgrades\n\n![1570479063703.png](\/\/\/raw\/f03\/92\/z\/2796d.png)\n\nHere, you can buy upgrades to make your robot stronger.\n\nDMG increases the damage dealt by all three attack types. DEF decreases the damage you take. SKL makes effective attack types even stronger and reduces the damage taken when your opponent hits you with an effective attack. There are also special upgrade you can unlock later which effects are described on the Interface.\n\nOh, and you can also check out your robot's stats on the right side!\n\n#### Character upgrades\n\n![1570479202708.png](\/\/\/raw\/f03\/92\/z\/2796e.png)\n\nBuy assets for yourself!\n\nThere's only one upgrade on this screenshot but there might be more when the game is actually released.\n\nOBS stands for Observation and increases your odds to see through your oponent's next move during a fight!\n\nClick the \"you\" tab to check your character's stats.\n\n**PRO TIPS**\n\nYour reputation will have an effect on the loans you can take.
