This one is delightfully clunky, but it quickly becomes too much to manage - having to spin the core, the wheels for each ammo type, firing the weapons, positioning aim - I almost feel like less might've been more. The mechanic of aiming with the wheels is nice, as is the wheel to select the ammo types - but maybe a simple bar you pull back to load a shell in and fire it would fit for the weaponry?

The scaling does feel off, but it's got merit, and the act of adjusting your aim before loosing a round feels like driving a large, heavy, clunky tank. I'd almost say more enemies with weaker defenses would work, and making the defense more rock-paper-scissors. Piercing rounds for shields, normal and light for hulls. It does feel like too many shots are needed to take out the tougher enemies, leading to a sort of slog of adjusting aiming, firing, adjusting, firing.

I think this game could shine with the rapid-stress of having to pivot to a new target every shot, as the more exhilarating moments were when I was getting pelted with rounds and had to pivot 180 to find the enemy currently lighting me up.

I think if you made this a tank simulator type experience, it would be perfect, and could definitely shine on steam as a solid combat experience.

EDIT: Just saw on the game page this was made with AI assistance. How much of that was used?

Wow that's a lot! Love your commitment:). Yeah balancing side is the weakest on my side for some people it turned out easy and boring and some can't pass one enemy. I tried to do some cool upgrades like zero recoil light ammo etc. to spice up game play. So you are spot on! About Ai UE5 doesn't support full ai integration so you can check that i am not lying :) Claude code helped me create some more complicated C++ classes. Idea, balancing(even though its bad), level creation, audio wire up, writing and parts of the code were done by me. I sincerely believe that Ai with all its horrors can be useful tool for solo game designers like myself. (People that use it for: Make GTA6 make no mistakes. And bloat field of gaming are dumb.)Glad you checked it out!
