This is such a cool entry.
I'll admit, I assumed going in this was going to be another UE5 asset flip type deal, as it often the case UE games with enormous binaries - but it just isn't. This is a legit great entry, and I am somewhat saddened that there will be a potion of people that wont touch me because it's a ~1gb game.
With that out of the way. The mecha is awesome; I have to conclude that it was made for this as it's too specific to the jam? The grabber and elemental cannon are just so charming.
The combat is decently fun, I didn't love having to kite around enemies so much and sort of stutter step back and forth to avoid projectiles. The knifes were probably a little fast, and the glowing orb projectiles possibly a little slow. But all in all the combat was extremely engaging.
The little puzzles, breakable walls, and general dungeon layout was really strong, as you were able to give each each a strong identity while using a limited set of tiles.
All in all this is a really strong entry, and I had alot of fun, thanks!
