I just saw this demo posted elsewhere and think it looks good! The pixel are is crisp and the armored vehicles/tanks/mechs all look excellent. Weapons have good punch.

The EM Railgun feels quite a bit more powerful in both feel and gameplay than the rest of the arsenal in my honest opinion. You can be very far away for one and charging up a MAX Charge shot takes less time than consistent fire of other weapons (with the associated risk of missing obviously).

Movement felt a bit... slow(?) for the control scheme. I'm not sure what the exact adjective is but it felt a little off in some way. Maybe the boost wasn't doing enough for my taste?

Extremely promising and I hope to see more!

Thank you for playing. The railgun is indeed way more powerful than any of the other weapons, it's going to be most likely an end game weapon since I don't think there's many ways to balance it.

I've been somewhat torn on the normal movement speed. For more open levels I can understand it feeling slow, but for tighter maps like the third mission, the slower speed makes it easier to maneuver through buildings/terrain. The boost will be upgradeable eventually, so you'll have a longer and faster overdrive.

Extremely promising and I hope to see more!

Thank you!

Ahh I see now. That makes a lot more sense. Are there plans to have upgrades for the early weapons so they eventually match the planned endgame weapons?

Indeed, that'll probably be how the upgrades will work.
