How to play

In the future, a robot league stretches from the scrapyard on the edge of the city to a tower above the clouds. Build your robot and pick a move each turn: close in, strike light or heavy, raise your guard, vent an overheating motor, work the crowd. Catch the shrinking ring at the right moment and your blow lands harder; catch it while your rival swings and you parry. Spend the Scrap you win on new parts, train your pilot and topple the champions of all three leagues.

1. 1Name your robot, choose its light colour and a starting build: brawler, gunner or bulwark.
2. 2Pick a rival from the League tab. In a fight you make one move per turn; a blocked move shows why on its button.
3. 3When you strike, a ring shrinks over your rival: press Space or tap the screen as it meets the inner circle. Do the same while your rival swings to parry.
4. 4Strikes build heat; at full heat your robot locks up for a turn. Vent dumps heat, but you're exposed that turn.
5. 5Clean hits and Show off whip up the crowd; at full hype the Finisher unlocks and pays extra Scrap.
6. 6Buy parts in the shop and spend pilot points as you level up. Beat the four rivals to challenge the league champion.
