Check the Google Docs link in the OP: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jzvOrGDv6_3Sh9p6KG9LdO4pKPGioPhPvQFyoxEJ78o/htmlviewI bought this back when it came out and played a bit, but took a break to finish 100% Spelunky and play some Totori. Started playing again yesterday, and some of the systems are a bit confusing. Is there a resource that explains some of the games systems or do I just have to dig on my own? Like, I'm not fully sure what each stat does, besides some DW penalty with agi less than 25, and it seems the "defend" command does nothing if you are slower than the opponent? Also, I was using the circles in Mars' place getting messages like "mars controls x more circles", so I figured I had to finish all those then fight her. But on my like 4th circle she showed up and wrecked me, I was still around level 3. Then some gazer memos by another random circle said "beware of mars", but I got some random enemies. Is the circle she pops up in random, or should I grind without touching circles for a while? God, sorry for being such a noob, hard to find info online about some of these niche japanese localizations.
After reaching a certain number of circles, the mini-boss (regular Mars in your case) shows up. After completing all of the circles, you can fight the real boss (enraged Mars).
