Thanks! I'm glad the world intrigues you. I wanted to put more focus on the mechs, but ran out of time. It's been an idea that I've been wanting to make for a while. I'm hoping that I'll be able to focus on adding more to the mech side of the game in the coming months!
I understand the "scary prompt" windows and anti-virus programs throw, but you're right, it does hurt getting people to try out my games. I've been spending some time between jams to try figure out making a web version of the game. I think that would help encourage trying it out.

Yeah, from what I heard, encrypting the code has helped people evade antivirus, while open source programs get flagged? It's really counter-productive.
But the web version is a good idea in general, since so many people browsing itch.io are looking for browser games :D
It could be a really fun game to have open in another tab while auto-battling!
