Really cool! My main critique is that sometimes the UI felt hard to interact with, sometimes buttons weren't easy to click and I would have to move my mouse around until some unrelated part allowed it to be highlighted. Perhaps this is a window size issue? Otherwise, a really fun experience.

Great work! Nice feedback on the shooting and movement. Procedural levels seem to work well. Good variety in the enemies and weapons.

Pizza ex MachinaAbsolutely lovely. Needs to be a full game.
A great addition would be adding somewhere in the game what the icons mean. I know they are on the game's main page, but I didn't see that until after I was done. Also selecting the new level was a bit clunky and hard to select at times. I also did notice sometimes I would spawn in some scenery object, but was able to get out easily the times it happend to me.
Great job guys!

Mecha Soldier - MechJam IV 2023Very solid jam submisssion! I had a blast hunting down the enemies and trying out all the guns. There is clearly an ambitious game being made here and I hope you keep working on it. My favorite part was the responiveness of hitting enemies, with the hit counters and effects it felt very tactile.
I wished the player mech moved a bit faster/was more agile, but that's just a small detail in an otherwise fun experience! Nicely done!

Blastingbot BlowbackI had a blast with this one! I love rogue likes and this was right up my alley. The fact that you managed to cramp this much content with such quality in just 2 weeks is some really good work. I felt that the player movement was a bit sluggish at times but overall the gameplay was well implemented. I really enjoyed battling the enemy mechas, great enemy variety.

VanguardStandard movement feels a bit slow for me personally but the animation is nice and feels weighty. Enemies felt a bit spongey to me and I'd like if I could hold to shoot instead of clicking rapidly. Visuals are nice with that retro PS1 look, and as I mentioned, animations are very nice. I like the variety of locations.
Minor Bug? I had with the teleporter. I'd move onto it while holding forwards and it'd automatically orient me to face the other way and I'd walk off before I could select something. So I had to slowly and carefully land on it everytime.
UI is nice and I like the roguelite elements and with permanent upgrades so you still gain something.

Airframe AssaultReally well done, this is some top stuff especially given you are not using 3rd party assets. Frame rate is super smooth even with my older PC setup, I got a bit stuck in the first stage as I kept going to the beacon but nothing happened, should have realised to click on the repair shop or next stage but I thought there were other things so kept looking around. Almost everything was on point, the sounds both in game and UI were all great. Some very slight overlapping text on some of the Ui in the mech repair area, also when you jump forward the aim reticule gets covered by the mech and you can't see the target. Really polished and a fantastic entry!

Cannonball Commandos - Mechjam IVCool game, I like the atmosphere and the gameplay - The AI for the enemy mechas is also quite good.
Great work.

Mecha City FighterThis feels fantastic to control! The physics are great and the hovering feels empowering without being gamebreaking. Works great as an arena shooter! My main complaints are that the mouse sensitivity seemed to be extremely high by default and even the lower ends of the sensitivity would cause the camera to shift around overly quickly, and also the game has a bug which causes immediate death every time a new run is attempted. Other than that though, really solid work!

Airborne Wastes 2Cool that you were able to piece all of this together in such a short time, visually I think it looks decent. There is a lot of potential, I like that I could switch guns to get new ones after killing enemies, however the problems I had when playing were too much. 1. After I died every time I clicked to start a new game I would insta-die when it started so I had to reload the page to try again, I had to reload the page 3 times before I got good enough to not die. 2. It should be more clear that I could adjust the mouse sensitivity in the options, as it was near unplayable with the starting sensitivity (at least for me), though it was nice that you had that as an option. 3. Why do you have a space for "Controls" in the menu when I can't click on it? 4. After I killed 10 enemies on the map I wasn't able to find any more or where I was supposed to be going.

Kaiju ApocalypseThanks for playing and providing feedback!
The controls button was intended but we ran out of time and thus disabled the button. Hope to add a controls or more like how to play menu sometime.
As for where to go, each level has an exit marked by red smoke. The level size makes it hard to find but our recent udpate makes this much more doable. There is a marker on your radar now once combat completes and you now see a big blue column of light coming from the exit to help guide you to it.
Hope these changes + a few extra make the game more fun to play.
Really enjoyed the setting and being able to pick up different types of weapons was really cool, spamming the rockets to obliterate anything in the way was really fun lol
One big problem I cam across was that the camera always was moving to the right making it very hard to aim or move around at times, the closest thing i can compare it to is stick drift on a controller but I made sure to have no controllers connected while playing.
The art style is also really nice is and the type of retro look I really enjoy
Great job on the game!

AtlasTons of fun and variety !
The whole randomly generated weapons aspects in awesome, especially when you manage to get lucky and find some totally broken combo like fast shooting multi rockets and such :p
The shop and skilltree systems are also very nice, even if it feels like you’ve gotta grind a lot of credits to get access to skills.
My main gripe though would be that there’s no way to adjust the mouse sensitivity for the controls, and the default sensitivity you have feels like way too much.
But other than that i’ve had a great time, and the rogue like aspect with the random weapons really shines through and gives tons of replayability.
Good job to you all :)

Chaos SquadThe mechanics and mech feel are so tight and responsive it really fills me with joy! I really like the rough like nature of going from level to level, gathering resources, at the beginning I thought the exraction point was annoying but later I began to like it, Although it might be easier if there is a big red marker or something pointing to it, and this game with just a bit more sound effects and a pretty coat of paint over the menu and such, I tell you this would be easily a top contender!
Already as it is, is a great prototype! If you kept working at it, this could become something more!

WizMechThe game is really fun and I love the visuals. The UI needs polished and the sound design is unfinished, but I read that you are working on that.
