Really enjoyable game and congrats on being featured by itch that amazing! The audio, animations and art theme were all on point, it was cool how the squad could follow and catch up. For a solo effort you killed it, the narrative was really good too and everything felt really polished! I got a bit stuck where it said I needed to hit the wall with a missile, but we only had blasters. It was also a bit long for me as I'm super short on time and have been trying to play all the jam entries, any games over 10 minutes to play it's a bit hard for me to keep going as that prevents me playing multiple other games and being able to give people feedback. I also had to get used to stopping before I should shoot or dash, it took me a while to figure that out, but once I had I could adapt pretty fast. Great work on this entry, I'm sure you will do well!

Really well done! I especially liked the visuals and sound work.

C'mon this isn't a jam game, this is a really fun SNES rom ya'll just submitted! (I'm kidding)

But I'm serious on the compliment, spectacular job! A winner to me so far.

Awesome ending too (shotgun ftw!)

Only feature missing: Boost up and down :)

Side note: The round thing on top of the mechs look like mouse ears to me, cute.

This was a great entry! I especially enjoyed the inclusion of AI squadmates that tag along, it's something I have played around with as well but never implemented into a game yet, consider giving each member a bit different behavior in combat or different weapons to make them feel more like individuals. I wish I could shoot and dash along the Y-axis as well, possibly even slowly turn in a dash to slightly change the trajectory. The art is very polished, the health bars could use some love and clarity though, I didn't realize whet they were for until someone had already died and one bar was missing. I can't think of any issues regarding music or sound. Overall everything seemed to have a high level of polish and cohesive atmosphere. I could definitely see this as a full game after some polish to the AI followers and movement

Really enjoyed this one! There's so much here that feels very well designed; I get some of the complaints with movement speed, but the way that that effects combat itself, with the huge focus on positioning (and the risk that gives with the turrets) is really satisfying. With that said... having the ability to dash up and down would be nice! ;;

I get what you meant on building an atmosphere with the movement and slower pace of the game, and I think you did a great job on that. With that said... maybe leaning further into that atmosphere with the music or, I guess, feel of the game could do something neat? I'm not entire sure, but with the resource management and everything, there was a part of my mind thinking of some sort of survival horror-y squad based thing in this style that could be absolutely amazing... But that's just me rambling, haha.

Also wanted to bring up the sound design, the *feel* here; you did an amazing job in that regard. The sound of the massive footsteps, the puff of smoke and sparking from boosting... there's so much that carries the feeling of piloting a mech, and you captured that so well.

Only other real complaints are with the teammate AI: when it comes to turrets, the way they go after enemies tends to just get them killed, which is, uh. not the most fun. Otherwise, there's stuff like teammate aggro messages popping up multiple times as they go in and out of range, which ended up being a bit annoying...

Otherwise though, fantastic work! I really, really enjoyed this one, as I said. Hoping to see more from you in the future!

Very cool game! loved the graphics, the sound, the gameplay felt like mechs running around a ship and the story elements were great! fantastic job! 

Wow, what a well put together game! As others have stated, movement is too slow without the dash, but otherwise I think you nailed pretty much everything about this. Well done!

Very well made NES throwback with quite unique mechanics !

I really enjoyed playing this, the weapon selection is rad ! and i like the spritework. Also nice touch on some of the small details like the health bars for the team moving away when you’re close to the top or the bottom of the screen.

The main issue i’d say is the vertical movement, since you can’t dash in that direction you’re stuck with the very slow base walkspeed. But other than that i didn’t have any real issue with the game.

Now i didn’t check which themes you used before playing so i really genuinely didn’t see the twist coming ! I won’t spoil it for anyone who hasn’t played it yet, but it was quite a nice surprise i really didn’t expect that :p

Overall cool game, good job :)

Nice stylized game! Reminded me Ghost Busters for NES. The only one critical for me is locomotion speed. Really boring especially when you go back and forth from one location to another. Everything else is just great!
