Very interesting game, I had fun while playing it!

I like the visuals, especially the 3D indication of how the mech is positioned, though the scene could use some shadows, I think some fake texture shadows would do just fine for this style.

The controls are a bit wacky, but I like the idea of controlling it like a tank. The mouse turning could use some work though, it's waaay too floaty.

Really cool and atmospheric Mech sim tech demo !

I really dig the aesthetic and how you’ve conveyed the heaviness of the mech through the animations, also the alternate history USSR setting is a pretty neat setting.

The controls are a bit odd though, i kinda see what you went for but i feel the clunkyness comes from 2 aspects :

• the interpolated mouselook doesn’t seem to have a point where it stops so you often end up turning the head all the way in one direction or the other, though if you find a way to adjust this so the player can better control the amount by wich it turns this system is great to keep the “Sim” feel

• the 3D orientation gizmo while looking cool, is a bit confusing to know where the head is facing, i think you could have one in 2D to have a bit clearer info on where the head and legs are facing.

Other than that it’s a cool concept, well done ^^

i think you have to rework the way of move cause i feel like a crab.

Very cool idea, i like the art style, really looks alot retro, kind a like half life, and the sound effects also fit to the graphical style as well. You had alot of great ideas for fun mechanics, like running people over with the charge, or grabbing objects and throwing them at them.

The main problem is, it just controls miserable.

1. It moves like a car, meaning you can only rotate and move forward or backward, and this is completely disconnected from the upper part. The big problem is that i have no reference ponit to know what the actual front direction is in that i’m actually moving, because it is almost impossible to center the top part in the middle, so i’m constantly missing a point of reference.
2. The top part seems to have acceleration? I give it the slightest tick and it shoots to the max range in that direction. The whole things feels super floaty, like im turning in space, which gives you almost no control in what direction you’re actually aiming in.

I think you can fix this without completely changing it. You know how cars have a toe-in for their wheels, so they automaticaly self-center when you let go? I think you need something like that, where when you don’t move the mouse it automatically dead centers the whole upper moving part. This will improve steering of the whole mech as well as the ability to aim relative to it, without restricting it’s actual mobility.

Really like the idea of this, I would definitely encourage you all to continue working on this after the jam just to get the controls of the mech just right!

Awesome Mech Warrior game. Was able to beat it, though it is tough. The controls are rather difficult, the mouse was too sensitive to me. If my mouse wasn't 100% deadcenter, the aim would continue moving. I suggest loosening that up somehow, not sure if you could program a "deadzone" for aim that if the mouse hasn't moved X amount away from the Last Aimed position, then it doesn't shift the players body. The mech sounds were pretty good. Just read another comment and yeah, if you keep the game at the normal scale, the aim is much better but enlarging the game really throws it off. 

The atmosphere is great comrades, the throwing mechanic was fun even if slightly hard to aim and map is quite extensive.
One thing that bothered me is the free floating camera, option it would be appreciated.
