GAME SCREEN
Would-be gladiators should pay attention to the information displayed on the game screen; it could make the difference between staying alive and becoming another arena statistic.
On-screen information differs depending upon the challenge (i.e. a Possession game screen indicates how long you have held the flag and who is currently in possession of it, while team challenges display team scores).
The existence and location of game screen information varies, depending on the number of players taking part. Descriptions in this manual assume a 1-player game is being played.

Health Level
The Arena's a dangerous place; do not underestimate it! Even the best are going to get hurt or even fragged when pitched into battle, so it is vital that you keep an eye on your health level, which is displayed in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen.
Throughout the arenas, it is possible to increase your health beyond your character's current maximum value, although the level counts back down to the current maximum when this occurs.
Armor Level
Wearing armor reduces the inevitable decrease in your gladiator's health level when attacked by an enemy. Your current armor rating is displayed to the left of your health level.
You can pick up items and power-ups that allow you to temporarily increase it beyond your character's current maximum level. As with Health, whenever your armor rating is above the maximum, it counts down gradually until it reaches that mark, even if you aren't under attack.

The weapon and/or power-up currently in use are represented on-screen by icons.
