A downloadable game

here is a game HIS and i were working on for a while but had to pause indefinitely for various reasons. in this game you build machines made out of meat and use them to attack other machines. gamepads and local co-op are supported. sorry it runs like crap and the tutorial sucks but i think it's pretty fun otherwise

will this game be getting farther updates in the future? I would really like to see this built upon. you don't get to see this type of game often, let alone with genre presented.

fun fact! it is possible to do a pacifist run of the game.

I love this game so much. Its insanely fun, but I have one request.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fix stakes. They're super janky and attaching multiple stakes together makes them very slowly bend and then whatever structure you make just collapses after a few minutes, so building anything with them is basically impossible.

This game is awesome, but I do have some suggestions for improvement:

1. Please, please add a fullscreen toggle. Neither Alt + Enter or F11 fullscreen the game, and it kinda sucks that the game can't take advantage of the entire screen.

2. Fix tutorial/control inconsistencies between keyboard and controller. It doesn't show how to zoom in/out when doing the tutorial with a gamepad, which is necessary for smaller screens (such as the steam deck, which I actually quite enjoy playing this on).

3. Improve performance. While I understand that this probably isn't a primary project for you, and that the game's performance is likely hindered by the engine you used to create the game, the 'WIP' in the title gives me hope. From what I understand, the limiting factor is that both this game and DEEP is something to do with how it handles CPU cores. By disabling SMT, this game runs a hell of a lot better, and while I'm not quite sure why, it might help  with figuring out what the problem is exactly.

Other than that, this game is really fun, and I think you have some of the most creative games out there, no matter how well-polished they are. Really looking forward to playing this some more in the future, and wish you best of luck with your future game development ventures.

added a fullscreen toggle. performance improvements will happen should I continue work on this.

Good looking game, but most components are blocked when building a custom ship. And 60 seconds is not enough to fix/upgrade your ship I think.

just pushed an update that unlocks all parts from the start - i didn't mean to leave that feature on lol.

god daym looks awesome

If i had a nickel for every time ivy dropped a game while i was at the gym I'd have two nickels. Which isnt a lot, but its wierd that it happened twice.
