Amazing art. I'm very impressed with what you were able to accomplish in the scope of the game jam, especially in terms of the main character's art. I think it's also THE best interpretation of the "you are the weapon" theme I've seen so far. Turning it on it's head "you are not the weapon", where you're this big war machine trying to just get by. I also thought it was neat how you can't make nice neat little farming patches, you're this big destructive guy with his tilling laser so of course it's gonna be super chaotic and like a wake of destruction except a wake of farming. (So it makes sense the tilling laser was hard to aim. If people complain about it, maybe make it even more clear that your war-bot farming is supposed to be chaotic.) How slow and clunky the main character was was almost unbearably at first, but once I figured out you could just jetboost to get around long distances, it made a lot of sense for the theming for him to be big and clunky when trying to do precise aiming and movement.

I really wanted to so more of this world and its charm, and have characters to talk to. I wish you could talk to that robot scarecrow as an npc, even if it didn't talk back. Or maybe it talks to you and your war robot mc is the big silent type. At a certain point I didn't engage the game loop anymore, and just jet-boosted around admiring what you'd built. I just want to see more of the world. I feel like it could be a love death robots episode.
