Would love to try the missile mech but darned if I can ever get 200 cr on a run. It seems unfair to reset the credits to zero after you get past the setup screen on a run.
Finally unlocked missile mech. It's fun, and really strong against the end boss.
Doesn't seem like the "crosshair/homing missiles" upgrade was actually implemented because it doesn't seem to do anything when equipped?
I realize this game may be abandoned now.
FEEDBACK: "Phase Blur" (which isn't explained in-game) causes me motion sickness; maybe some option to disable the edge-blur effect?
Screenshake toggle/slider would also be nice.
Sometimes when entering a room, an enemy spawns ON TOP OF YOU, you instantly die (not really fair).
If weapon's module slots are full, and you try to drag a different type module onto a slotted one, the dragged module just *vanishes*, with no explanation.
No explanation in-game on calling in mech, how long it lasts, when can we NOT call in the mech etc. It's awesome to use it, just isn't explained.
good game would really like to see full game!
long time no post are you still alive
Yeah, I discovered this game/demo belately. Lot of fun. I hoped the dev would complete the game as his last dev update last year said but he seems to have vanished. :(
