# Core Game Loop

* Players select Gear to bring into their Missions
* Players encounter a series of enemies to battle against, as well as other challenges such as collection objectives which they can try to complete as quickly as possible.
* Collaborate with other players and/or AI players to take on these missions as you move (run or walk).
* Use Gear Skills: Players strategically spend their physical effort to move faster or slower to choose which skill they are using at any given time. Skills can damage enemies, heal the team, and defend the team.
* After completing a mission, see a summary of your physical and gameplay accomplishments as well as resources earned.
* Spend the resources you have earned to upgrade Gear to make it stronger so you can take on more challenging missions, or craft new Gear so you can try new playstyles.
