Mech Defender

I was thinking it would be cool if you had to build up from being a little drone to being a giant mech or something, with a scale increase. Just kind of wanted a true mechwarrior style flash game I guess.

Lots of little tweaks that’d add a lot. Having the camera start completely zoomed out and static while allowing you to zoom in for better control and focus. Nice job with the difficulty/design on the spinning blades and the heavy tank-tread guys; but the walkers were way, way too slow to be even an annoyance and the later enemies were still easy to dodge thanks to only ever firing 1 bullet at a time. I would recommend just showing all weapons/upgrades from the start to give players more customizing options (and more replay value).

Add enemies that can fire homing missiles at you so that it isn't just circling around the area to avoid being hit the entire game (though the spinning blades were nice in making that harder to do). Also actually needing to use the shield every now and then would add an extra layer of depth and strategy (enemies with odd patterns like the spinning blades would make dodging less predictable and give more reason to use shields).

Well made game regardless.

Some way to continue earning exp without having to advance levels would be nice. I've gotten stuck without any way to improve my weapons and keep getting swarmed and killed. Or else the ability to sell old weapons .... or something.

The armor's strength is determined by its paint. Nice.

kind of a tad on the easy side honestly, but still pretty fun. It still felt like there maybe should have been more wep choices though imo, it's usually a lot less cool when by the end of the game there are certain weapons you really have to be using to not be at a huge disadvantage. Any weps but laser ones won't stand up by the end.
