Excellent mech game but too easy
The game was just awesome. You have successfully brought the mech genre to 2D world. The upgrades were all great, the controls were as though you were moving a mech around, and I enjoyed looking at the weapons pretty pretty colors in motion!
A minor bug: I think the weight meter is a bit kooky. I'd try to mix and match weapons and it would vary between 15/24 tons to 115/24 tons and the latter was when I used the cheaper weapons. A bit odd.
My only negative is that the game got too easy fast. The first couple levels were a bit challenging but I was able to make it halfway without really upgrading too much (saving the money at the time) and by the end I was fully decked out but I was still expecting a challenge from the last guy and that just didn't happen. That upset me because I really liked the terrain you built for that level with those alien creatures popping up and I didn't get to experience all that until after I killed the guy and explored before I went to the menu. Not to mention I was hoping for some cool looking mech design for the end boss because it said it was custom. I was also expecting "boss-type" weapons and tech. The kind that would MAKE me run around the terrain to avoid him. He didn't even have a lock-on blocker.
Overall the game IS awesome. Not too much replay value though. Maybe, if you know how to (and/or want to), make an online version of this game. Could be cool.
