Why is no one sharing their designs?! Really fun game, great work on it. For those struggling, take note that certain enemies are more vulnerable from the front, while others from the side. Adjust your design accordingly to target both areas effectively.

Here's the one I finished level 9 with:

Thank you. Spot on with the tips. Ha I see you managed to find an exploit I didn't patch that allows you to make floating blocks. Cool vehicle. Glad you enjoyed it.

Really fun to play and the music rocks!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it.

Very fun but difficult. I'm glad it wasn't a complete restart after losing a round. I also enjoyed the fact I could change my mind and reset where I placed things to improve my design. Great job!

Developer

Thanks for playing. Yea it's probably a bit too difficult. Glad you enjoyed it.

Damn! This game starts badass as it is. Awesome rock music at the start. 
Also, the idea of getting bigger after each level fits the theme and makes it a great game!

Thanks for playing. Glad you enjoyed it. The song is Cherry Metal by Arthur Vyncke.

Great! It reminds me of the game "Robocraft," which I absolutely loved. It fits the theme perfectly since we get bigger and more powerfull, well done!


Developer

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. I'll have to play Robocraft.

Super fun game! Insane that this was made in 10 days! Very fun, easy to control, and had great enemy variety! More weapon variety would be great but it was very fun coming up with new designs.

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it. Yes it desperately needs more part variety.

Awesome game, gameplay is pretty fun. It gets pretty easy if you shoot enemy turrets first, and then finish them later. I would suggest adding more types of blocks, for example heavy armor block or some long range cannon.

Developer

More blocks is a great idea. Glad you enjoyed it. Yep you found the optimal strategy.

I'm surprised no-one else mentioned Terratech, I definitely got Terratech vibes from this game.

Developer(+1)

Bingo. I played and loved TerraTech so I was absolutely inspired by it.

This game has to be the greatest I've played so far!!! It reminds me so much of the game Autocraft, it's wonderful. Loved beating the game and playing around with the surplus of parts given after beating the 9th round. Had so much fun.

Developer(+1)

Thank you. Your response fills me with joy. I will have to play Autocraft as I love games in this genre. Away from my computer right now but can't wait to play your game.

This game gave off some mad max vibes and some nostalgic memories for me, this is pretty awesome! Although the  glare flashing during the build menu is pretty distracting for me

Developer(+1)

Lovely thank you. Was the screen randomly flashing bright sometimes?

Submitted(+1)

yep, It flashes alot in the build menu and also during the game which made it difficult  to play

Developer(+1)

Sorry you encountered such an annoying bug. I'm 90% sure I know what was causing the bug (auto exposure) and I've turned it off which should fix the issue. Thank you for the detailed bug report, it really helps.

Submitted(+1)

I checked it out  and the bug is gone now, the game definately looks nicer without auto exposure

Developer(+1)

Oh amazing thank you for testing again to see if the bug is gone. Really appreciate that.
