You Are Mech by Captain Laserstorm

[raw]
made by Captain Laserstorm for LD 39 (JAM)

A game where you fight robots in a mech and on foot.

NOTE: Something I forgot to mention in the help menu of the game is you can press K to exit your mech and enter it (if it has enough power).

NOTE 2: ALSO! As mentioned by pcmaster in the comments, you can only pick up energy canisters while you are a soldier. You CAN NOT pick up energy canisters while you are a mech.

Thanks to everyone who reviewed this game! I'm glad I was able to get to 20 reviews before time ran out! :D

You must upload a zipped folder of both the .exe and the generated _Data folder for others to play the game in windows. The _Data folder should be in the same place as the generated .exe by Unity.

Hi, sorry but your game is not working (I guess it's a Unity game and you forgot to put the "gamename_Data" file with your .exe

To all who have experienced Windows download problems, I'd like to let you know I've fixed it. :)

Here's the devlog explaining the fix for all who are interested: https://captainlaserstorm.itch.io/you-are-mech/devlog/6442/windows-fix

I was able to play the Windows version fine. The soldier gets stuck a bit at the edges. Also it wasn't apparent that I have to step out to collect the power ups. Write that down in **BOLD**. Not bad for such a small game. Be sure to play more games to get votes! Cheers, good job!

Fun! Except for getting stuck on one side of your mech when the energy is on the other feels pretty bad because there is literally no way to get past the tank. Another fun thing I found is that if you hop out on top of the bad guys you can just float there forever. I would have liked to see flying enemies to utilize the awesome turret rather than just pointing it down the whole time.

Nice game. Some of the bugs I found already were mentioned by @rarefactionq.

Fun game, but it feels a bit repetitive. It would be nice to have more enemies variety.

Good job!

Nice idea, i liked the game but it becomes repetitive very fast. Good job. :D

I liked the fact that you can only take the energy while not in the robot. It adds some strategy to the game. It was otherwise a bit repetitive. Something that would have been better is if the gun fired a bomb subject to gravity instead of a laser. Because you only have to point your gun down in the game.

Not a bad start for a game, but in its current state it quickly becomes repetitive.

The ability to aim the gun is not particularly useful, as it will always be aimed under the horizontal, and usually close to where the mech is.

Sometimes the mech would stop moving and point in the opposite direction, which is kind of annoying.
