Oh this is a cool concept. Very cool use of the theme, although it would be nice if your actual scale actually mattered to gameplay. Maybe giant snake arms breaching the hull... 96 hours isnt long enough for that.

I had fun with this really difficult (as it seems, unless im missing something) game. I was getting overwhelmed only a minute after the fight began!

Also, it seems you're keeping your player health and boss health on some global script. When I lost and got into the game again, the HP state was retained and I lost on the first hit I received, so the game required a reset for that.

BTW, you had the cool robot art with the cool points for when you need to fix things, but I think making that a full minimap would help a ton with navigating the robot.

Overall really cool idea that I think can actually be exapnded upon quite a lot!

Best of luck

Cool! Interesting art style, funny texts. I would like to see where am I on the mech map. Also I can't always understand my influence on mech. I clearly understand that shield give more protection when have more energy, but if I am raising energy at lasers, damage do not increase. There is a little bug with fire, it can spawn lower than water gun. But overall, game feels coherent, i like it.

🎵music licensing re-imagined🎵 is gonna be stuck in my head now

neat concept. reminds me of Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime. really like the idea of platforming while something hectic is going on on a larger scale.

Very unique art and gameplay, enjoyed my time with this!

Loved the art and upgrade system! Took me a second to realize you had to assign power using the reactor, but I really liked it overall :)
