Don't hesitate to tryhard the leaderboard and submit the best time !\n\n@bry Many additional mechanics were on our minds but again, scope-creep creeped us out \n\n@mcgank You're right. We wanted to make a game we would enjoy first, and theme-compatible second. I believe it fits the theme well since there are portals and, well, naughty foes spawning all around\n\n@hammerfrenzy You nailed the kind of feeling we wanted you to have !\n\n@coolasjake S P E E D\n\n@yoruvii This warms our heart, thank you.

Some sort of manual boost for the player would have been a great addition. Even simple sounds for hitting the boosters would really help add some feedback for the player. It'd be super neat to see the glow of your engines as light reflected on the track, as well as the player shadow to showcase the mech hovering. Really liked the simple & clean mecha models and their engine effects, including the lightning bolts! Controls-wise, the camera felt to lag behind the mech a little too much. I wonder how it would feel to have the camera lead the way instead of trail behind the player's inputs.
