Great audio and very authentic NES-era palette, looks wonderful! the spritework is so high effort, and the gameplay is really fun honestly. I like that it feels like NES armored core fr, the sort of slow clunky buildup and intentionality in the action follow-throughs really make this feel like something that needs a full release. I hope this pilot finishes their VR training and sees some real missions soon, this is so cool!
If you expand on this, consider adding unlockable weapons, moving enemies, some other mech parts etc, maybe like a flight boost-dash and different legs etc. a hover module like the quad legs in armored core would rock too. Awesome work!
