nice entry! the music and art was killer. it even sounded great on my laptop speakers. it took me a minute to understand what to do, but when it clicked it was interesting going back and forth gathering materials for the mech! good job making walking with the mech feel powerful and cool.

Your sprite work is sick. Love the vfx when the enemy robots explode, so smooth and satisfying.
Very cool game, I liked the style of the art, and the animations of the characters!
I had the same problem with it not running on Firefox, in a perpetutal loading state. Worked fine in Chrome though!
This is my favorite game from this jam! Very high quality, very fun and I had a blast playing it!
This game's aesthetics are *chef's kiss*: one of my favorite submissions for this jam!
This game is really really fun!
OVERFLOWING with style!! I wasn't sure what to do after running out of ammo, but even just walking around felt great lmao. Loved being the mech too. Amazing work ya'll, hope you're feeling stoked about such a job well done 😎
Man the song and the walk cycle are whole vibe. Great pixel art as well.
Amazing artwork, the use of the 4 color palette did wonders for the aesthetic. The mech destroying all the enemies after you finish build it up is really rewarding too.
I only had some problems with the melee enemy attack, where it didn’t seem really clear to me, but not a huge issue!
Hey! Just a heads up, I think that you've got `SharedArrayBuffer` setting turned on in Itch. It's preventing me from running the game in Firefox.
I went ahead and made a Firefox version! Please check it out. https://wolfgangsenff.itch.io/mech-gyvr-firefox-edition
Your art was *chef's kiss,* and picking up all of the little items was fun. I didn't enjoy the overall gameplay very much (although I should not be one to talk), but this was overall a really polished experience.
I don't know that anything was inherently wrong with the gameplay, but I think one element that could have really spiced it up is a more detailed landscape. Things like traps, flora (or some empty bits of architecture), and pits would make shooting and collecting parts more engaging. Overall, it was a pretty good game, though, and it is definitely partially genre mismatch.
