The atmosphere of this one is gorgeous, but it's also got some great gameplay too, and I would happily play more of it.

Pretty much the only gripes I had have already been raised on here by a few others, so I'll just mention what I liked. I LOVE opening the canopy. Even with no purpose, it's a great touch. The bootup sequence, physical interface and all those little immersive touches are sublime.

I think some tanks & tracked vehicles would work really nicely as weaker enemies, perhaps beefing up the enemy mechs.

Although I've never played them, this game reminds me of games such as the mechwarrior series.

I like the retroy 32 bit sorta aesthetics on things such as the textures, as well as the bulky utility aesthetic of the mechs.

The sound design is immersive, with the soft sound of rain, or the muffled sounds from outside your mech. The beeps and system sounds, as well as button clicks also made me feel engaged. While I'm guessing the aforementioned games were more sim like in gameplay with system managements and the like, I did like the minor management of stuff such as heat. Additionally with the gameplay, from trying to engage enemies from a distance, or get into positions where I can hit them well, but they can't hit me much. Doing so I also had to account for my weapon's positions as well, to decide which weapons to use.

Not much of a complaint, but being able to destroy trees through weapons or movement would add some world interactivity and satisfaction.

Great entry, with some really polished ad pleasing things, like the cockpit. Only thing I miss are larger spaces to make a better use of turret swing and classic circling, and ability to trump down the trees. Opening the cockpit is a bit futile (or did I miss something) but great fun nonetheless, helps with the immersion

Loved how immersive this was at making you actually feel like actually being in a mech!  Had an issue where a enemy clipped through a side of a hill to come kill me though haha!  

Super cool! Felt like I was playing some mech warrior. The weapons felt great and having to balance between the three while having to worry about heat really made me think about how I fought! The only thing more I could wish for is that the trees weren't so invincible and in the way sometimes.

Couple small things though: not sure if it was intentional or not, but if you just keep turning the mech on and off again you can heal back up to 99% hull. Each subsequent time after the first only did it by a few percentage points but still. Also once you die at the end, at least for me the mouse didn't pop up so I couldn't press quit. 

Other than those small things though fantastic job! Great atmosphere, great feeling controls, and the cockpit and mech functionality was fantastic. I'd love to see more.

Wow, this is one of my favorite entries.  This is similar to what I was striving for in my game, but this outcompetes it in almost every way.  This is a real homage to the old Mechwarrior games, I absolutely love it.  From the mech start-up to the combat, and the great UI design.  Well done!

A top entry for this jam.

Veeeery nice attention to detail. Rain and open cockpit at the start was a pretty smart move to set up ambience, good idea. The hud on showing up over the canopy and other details like that really sell the feeling of piloting the mech.

Awesome job yet again! The sounds, atmosphere, mech controls - everything was all top notch!

This is awesome! Love the cockpit hud design.

Normally I'm not very comfortable with tank controls, but these felt easy to use. I got a hold of it pretty quickly.

This is probably the best I've played from MechJam so far, and exactly the kind of game I was hoping for from this jam.

 I really like the classic tank controls, being able to look around in the cockpit with the mouse was a great decision. The environment is varied and looks interesting and the mech models are very nice. 

I really like the combat, the mech systems like heat and coolant charges are on point. The HUD being part of the cockpit is very cool, and the low-pass effect is perfect.

Awesome! Super cool visuals, I love the mech powering on sequence. The weapons are satisfying, and the fighting is intense. Great Jam!

its damn good, gameplay, art, and sound are all on point.

I really love the sounddesign and the atmosphere! Wish there would be more games like this out there.

Great submission! Really liked the sound design and visuals.
