This was fun! I really liked the top-down style. It gave me very classic arcade-y vibes. I thought of Contra, Revolution, BattleTanx, and more, especially with the pickup system. The objectives and boss battle were cool too. I only tried out two pilots so far, but appreciate the effort that went into player choice of color/pilot customization.

Thanks a lot ! Glad you’ve enjoyed it ^^
Well retro’s what i aim for so i’m happy if you thought i captured an authentic oldschool experience, i’m a big contra fan so i take it as a high compliment in that comparation, i know BattleTanx from name but i never got the chance to play it so i’m not sure how much my game compares to it :p
The objectives system were a continuation of the similar system in the first MTM game with here the added bonus of the gates x generators to make the hunt a bit less linear, i wish i had more time for a more complex fight and more bosses but i was only able to do so much :( but i’m really glad you found it cool :D
Yeah i like the idea of customization or at least giving the player as much choice as possible, so here i was able to reach my minimal goal of having at least all the characters from the first game return, and in a similar way they act as a sort of difficulty system with their different loadout and armor values :)
