Unfortunately I get an error when I hit enter to spawn the first wave.

The error

Love the music and concept art!

Love all of the illustrations. Would love to see a short comic series based on this with them. The audio can be a bit overwhelming at times, for me at least.

Solid work and great job!

Great work I love your itch page! The artwork and music is great. The 3D model and movement/firing are all on point as well. There were some issues with the scene design, the centre thing's collider was letting the player inside the mesh. And at the edges you can see the end of the skybox, Id have preferred the walls set a bit further in. When the large mechs come in they create an overlapping stomp/shaking that feels a bit strange. Overall It looked really great and was a good team entry, well done to you and the team!

Very impressed with this one, great music, really cool character and mech art and models, and nice feeling controls. I did find the enemy sound effects to be a bit much, since having lots of enemies active meant tons of footstep sounds. Overall great job though!

Very cool game! I really liked the design of the mechs, super unique and made me just wanna watch an anime series based on them haha.

I may have found a bug where the exploding units did not render for me cause I could hear them then randomly an explosion went off near me and I died. In addition to that I feel like pulling the camera out a bit more would be nice so targets can be seen more easily.

Great entry overall.

Developer

Hi! Thank you so much for your feedback and for playing / rating our game!! We just posted a build that fixed the exploding units issue, if you wanted to check it out. Thanks!

Impressive entry :o

Absolutely love the art in general, mech designs, Zena’s design, the UI !

The music also is incredible, the orchestral style really makes it feel like the stakes are at their absolute highest.

The tower building mechanic in between waves is also neat, and in a way the fact that they have a proximity base effect kinda made me think of how recharge buildings worked in Gunmetal, but here with the twist of some boosting your mech’s stats instead of just the health refill.

There were a few issues though, first the game tends to get a few slowdowns here and there probably due to the amount of ennemies per waves, you can even see the framerate improve a bit once you destroy a few. And second the audio balancing, the SFX are EXTREMELY LOUD :o it seemed to be particularilly the case with the large melee mechs when they rush to attack.

Other than these, the game is cool and i’ve had fun playing it.

Well done to the whole team :)

Developer

Thanks so much for your thorough review. Really appreciate you taking the time to play the game! Wanted to let you know we added some standalone builds which hopefully would improve the framerate. Thanks for playing!!

Submitted(+1)

No problem :)

I allways try to go a bit in detail cause that’s what jams are all about when giving feedback ^^

Cool that you’ve had post jam updates, i’ll check the standalone out.

Very interesting! The 2D art is awesome!

This was fun! I really like the UI work and the artwork, it's really impressive.

Neat visuals! Hovewer, I've experience significant performance issues (have and rtx 3050, i5-11-gen 16gb Ram) had arounf 23 fps (tried in Chrome, Edge, Opera GX)...But I had a true cinematic experience! (pls fix it, want to play like a human but I can't afford a NASA PC right now)

Developer(+1)

Hello!! If I could send you a NASA PC I would!!!! Maybe the next best thing is standalone builds, since WebGL is prone to slowdowns. Windows, Mac, or Linux, we just added these for download (along w some bug fixes)! Thanks for playing :) :)

Visuals were truly impressive for a jam. Sometimes the AI was a bit goofy and the enemies would cluster in locations or not really attack anything :O I was having a hard time understanding how the towers were benefiting me. There was no clear visual indications (to me at least) that they were somehow powering me up. Very nice work!

beautiful game! I had fun though couldnt get past the spider bots that were planting mines.

Developer(+1)

Yes! So sorry, I’m seeing a bug on wave 4… where the explodey bots are invisible. Will look into it and if possible update!

Developer(+1)

Wanted to let you know we fixed this bug in the latest build! Thanks for playing <3

Your mech designs are awesome! It's an interesting take on tower defense since you place them down where ever you like. Run a but laggy but managed to get a few waves in =D.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your comment! We added standalone builds to hopefully address the lag. <3 :) Thanks for playing!!

Wow, I'm truly impressed by the stunning graphics! The carefully chosen palette enhances the visuals and gives it a captivating allure. Moreover, the sound atmosphere is nothing short of remarkable; it complements the visuals so well, creating an immersive and unforgettable experience. Excellent job to the developers for their remarkable work.

I notice that doesn't work well in chrome, but it does on firefox.

Good work.

Developer

Thank you so much for your kind comment! Just wanted to drop a note that we added standalone builds for download to improve performance. Hopefully that works for you :) Thanks for playing!!!
