 Health Points, otherwise known as HP, is vital to your success in "Oh So Hero!". Starting with a max of 150 HP, Joe will begin to lose his current HP every time he is hit, grappled (more if the animation finishes or if it's a 100% lust grapple), or drops into/triggers a hazard such as falling into water. When his HP hits 0, poor Joe will lose his stamina and be left vulnerable to the fiendish whims of the horny enemies! Oh, and you'll also get a Game Over, forcing you to restart the stage from the last entry point. Health Points, otherwise known as HP, is vital to your success in "Oh So Hero!".

 ==== 3) Lust Meter ==== ==== 3) Lust Meter ====
-The Lust Meter, seen on screen as just Lust, is how randy Joe is currently feeling. Every time he takes damage from an enemy or is grappled, the meter starts to fill in varying amounts (some faster than others). This is highlighted by the outlines surrounding Joe's status to the upper-left of the screen growing redder the higher it gets.+The Lust Meter, seen on screen as just Lust, is how randy Joe is currently feeling. Every time is grappled by an enemy, the meter starts to fill in varying amounts (some faster than others). This is highlighted by the outlines surrounding Joe's status to the upper-left of the screen growing redder the higher it gets. Many enemies also have their own seductive taunts. Each taunt usually creates a kind of projectile with a unique movement pattern that increases Joe's lust by a certain amount if he is hit with it.
  
 It's important to avoid the meter filling to 100%, as this prevents Joe from resisting grapples and, if he isn't grappled, exposes him to an unstoppable sex animation that only triggers when Joe is at 100% Lust, which causes more damage than regular grapples! Fortunately, Chillpills can be found to calm his desire and the meter lowers whenever it hits 100% (50% after the current sex animation concludes, 0% otherwise). Meaning if Joe is alone when it hits its peek, he can easily work off the meter alone. It's important to avoid the meter filling to 100%, as this prevents Joe from resisting grapples and, if he isn't grappled, exposes him to an unstoppable sex animation that only triggers when Joe is at 100% Lust, which causes more damage than regular grapples!

 Those devious aliens/enemies! Fortunately, Joe is a superhero by trade (or, at the least, by hobby). They come in various shapes and sizes: some with different attacks and HP, some can't even be stunned by a good punch, and one can't even be harmed. While avoiding them //is// an option, it isn't exactly heroic. A swift combo or two using the **X** button can give them a beating, however, Joe does have another set of skills and a body to match, so you can just as easily hit **X** while holding **Down** to seduce them. Most enemies will require more than one glance at what Joe has on offer, so don't expect them to instantly fall in a single hit! Those devious aliens/enemies!

-The bar surrounded by a black outline seen above their head is their HP bar. Hit them enough, they'll be knocked out and vulnerable to your grapples (though you //can// do so sooner by just grappling them after knocking them down with a combo). However, the second, wavy bar is a lust bar. It...doesn't actually say much, but if it'waving a full pink color then they will be lost to their own lust and lead to a different sex animation once you grapple them, instantly defeating them after it concludes! Or you could just watch them fap away like the horny dudes they are, that works too.+The bar surrounded by a black outline seen above their head is their HP bar.

 +==== 10) Rhythm Meter ====
 +{{osh_rhythm_mechanic_hud.png?nolink&150 |}}
 +
 +Version 0.16.1300 introduces a new rhythm game-like mechanic.  This feature appears during sex scenes with NPCs.  By pressing "x" as the cursor aligns with the reticle, you can skip to the end of a frame during a scene.  Successfully hitting all the cursors will give you bonus health and energy when Joe successfully Tops a Enemy and reduces vulnerability of being attacked mid scene.
 +
 +When used while subbing to an enemy, by accelerating the scene, Joe can reduce the damage he takes since damage is dependent on the scenes duration.  This currently serves no purpose when used on non-hostile NPCs.  When an enemy uses a light grapple (Joe's Lust is less than 100%), this mechanic won't appear unless it reaches max mid scene.
 +
 +==== 11) Multigrabs ====
 +{{osh_multigrab.png?nolink&300 |}}
 +
 +Version 0.18.200 introduces a new combat mechanic in the form of [[Multigrabs]]. Multigrabs are a technique used by some of the enemies in the game. Essentially, it allows for two (and maybe more in the future) enemies to grapple [[Joe]] at the same time. The conditions to activate this is that the characters must be compatible with each other and their must not already be too many enemies grappling Joe. This tactic has the ability to inflict nearly twice the combined damage of each enemy individually and will reset Joe's Grapple Escape Meter, which in turn makes it harder for Joe to escape than if only one of them had grappled him since his lust will no doubt be increased.
 +
 +Multigrabs can also be triggered if a compatible enemy grapples Joe while his topping another enemy.
 +
 +The list of compatible enemy combinations can be found [[multigrabs|here]].
 +
 +==== 12) Awakenings ====
 +
 +Version 0.19.200 introduces a new combat mechanic in the form of Awakenings. Awakenings are an abilty used by several enemy that increases their power or grants them access to knew attacks. The condition for an enemy to activate their respective awakening varies as does the types of abilities they unlock. For example: [[Bax]] unlocks his Awakening when his physical health is halved, while [[Haya]] unlocks his Awakening when his lust is increased to 50% of its max. Awakenings are indicated by a grey circle that appears next to an enemies' health bar.
 +
 +===== Buff Icon =====
 +
 +{{ c:bufficon.jpg?nolink&50|}}As of update 0.14.900, Joe can now receive stat boosts. They can be found next to the map, which an icon showing what effect it is as well as how long it will last for.

-Either you've had one too many punches to the noggin or, more likely, you've enjoyed watching the grapples too often. That's when you're faced with the dreaded GAME OVER! Only, it's not actually dreaded in any way. Instead of the usual punishment you'd see in most games, a Game Over here only resets you back to where you entered the level. There's no Zenni loss, your HP and SP are fully restored, and it's as if nothing ever happened. Well, except for the incredibly graphic sexual scene that functions as your Game Over screen...

 +At the time of writing, all zones have unique game over screens. The exception in this case is the (currently) unfinished Lood City zone. All the unique game over screens are animated while the sole exception merely has a still image of Joe. This will most likely change as development continues.

 +Some zones (Cas' Cabin, Brask's Palace, and Smol Beach) have no such game overs as they lack anything that can remove HP.

 +===== Invisible Stats ===== 
 + 
 +While you can't actively see them, there's currently four special stats that directly effect gameplay beyond the more obvious HP and SP increases: Stamina, Strength, Charisma and Lubricity. You won't see them on screen, but you might notice their effects. If you don't, well here's a handy run down! 
 + 
 +**Stamina**: This effects lust gain from enemy tease attacks. The higher, the less lust Joe gains.  
 + 
 +**Strength**: This effects the physical damage Joe causes with his attacks. 
 + 
 +**Charisma**: This effects how seductive Joe is to enemies and how easily they succumb to his teasing. 
 + 
 +**Lubricity**: This effects how easily Joe escapes enemy grapples.
