I liked the game. Very nice look and a simple upgrade system that let's you specialize in what feels comfortable. It leaves you wanting more in a bad way however. It felt like it ended prematurely so it didn't get a chance to grow on me as a title. As an art style and game-play you got it down right but it could have used more levels.

I understand what you are saying. There were a lot of challenges, and at some point or another i had to finished the development cycle. It was getting out of control and was starting to become a vaporware. But im sure to expand the experience in a sequel. Ty.
A very nice and clean looking top down shooter. The only trouble I have is level 7 is incredibly tough for a spider leg mech as the shields get wrecked by the defenses while the other mechs seemingly suicide bomb my armor away, not sure why they run RIGHT at me. Still, the upgrades are pretty damn nice, but the single shot cannon should let you see a bit farther, and a map would be helpful.
definitely one of the best mecha shooting games. however, i didnt play through the whole game coz' i have no idea what the special attack does, cant see much effect whether i trigger it or not
very fun game :3 im a huge fan of these top down shooters and this one was definitely one of the funner ones ive played i love how it makes it feel like your in an old school VR room and the music was very fitting to the game in fact the only problem i found was with the legs i liked the ability part but it confused me that the set of legs that focused on speed forced you to stay in one spot while the slower legs simply surrounded you with a shield it would make more sense to swap those two but other than that great game :3 i hope to see more like it
Definitely one of the best mecha/shooter games I've played. Excellent work! Had me hooked from beginning to end. I saw your comment below about making the sequel focused on a survival mode, but I think the campaign missions were great. I just wish there were more of them. Possibly more missions about survival, but not necessarily a main focus of the sequel. Wish I could give more than 5 stars for this, though!

Means a lot to me Ninja. With the experience i gained from making this one and getting the feedback from the players the possible gare2 will feature a lot more i hope. The survival is something that from what i can dig in the comments and all some ppl really enjoys that type of game. The problem now for me is what i will do for the next one. Survival is something, a turn based something more strategical is another, or just another top down. Im just one person, doing all the art/design/programing/music/sound levels takes a lot of time.
But thanks for the support.
