I came back to this after beta testing. A huge improvement, much less of a grind to get other parts. You tuned down the random upgrades which is good, they were a bit out of line when I tested them. As a veteran of super slow mech of betas past, I found the game pretty easy, you even nerfed the tanks' and battleships' hp and made our primary weapon dish out the deeps. I only wish the game was a little longer, only took me two runs and less than an hour. Took me 4 hours~ in beta but I'm happy you made the grind less just want more juicy content like the greedy fan I am.
Overall, felt much more badass in this final version and that's what counts!
Hey great game so far, Mjolnir one shots bosses so it's very strong for how early you can get it, albeit I guess its ok due to the randomness. Omega is best by leaps and bounds especially if you tap X for basically constant shield charging (may want to change this, it make the game very easy to tank with only obviously dodging done). Lancer seems to also be very powerful for how early you get it. I destroys bosses with multihits and cuts tank herds down to size with ease. I feel the Jump Jet or Raven are needed as you have such little speed overall and need to manage such a relatively large screen. Also due to the slow speed many runs are simply ended by a faster enemy running into you with a quick bullet after, if you have full shield you should end with maybe 25% shield, especially for weaker enemies. Overall please make some of earlier upgrades more useful, there's a very small amount of actually viable builds due to the lack of speed of the mech, boss type, and "tank herds".
