How to Play Heavy Nova
Quick start
Choose a mode, then learn the basic punch, kick, and dash before attempting special techniques. In the side-scrolling training stages, preserve stamina and clear the obstacles rather than rushing into every enemy. During one-on-one battles, keep enough stamina to attack and recover, vary your distance, and use grabs only when you can approach safely.
Controls
D-pad: move, crouch, or rise/fly as the current section allows. A: punch. B: kick. C while moving forward: begin a dash. In one-on-one fights, hold forward and press A or B to grab; available attacks vary with distance and remaining stamina. Start: pause.
