Go Mecha Ball

I am sad to leave a bad review on this as the game is very fun, however it feels very abandoned. Controls are snappy, traversing the arena while defeating enemies is very satisfying with the ramps, boost pads, etc. However... Rebinding keys simply doesn't work, as another player said the pause menu can bug out during a run where you can't close the menu but the game keeps running in the background, forcing you to relaunch the game or lose the run. Avoid this half baked game and find another twin stick shooter that respects your time

[H1]What I Liked[/H1] + The movement in this game is sooooooooooooooooo sick! I absolutely loved shooting around the map using the variety of objects placed around the map. Levels offers ramps, bumpers, fans, tubes, and they all play a role in causing havoc on each level. Flying up a ramp as a ball and smashing down on an enemy is great, and it's awesome smacking into an enemy and watching them hit a bumper and fly off the map. + The variety of abilities, upgrades, and weapons available can lead to some pretty crazy builds. Imagine every time you fire a bullet, rockets come shooting out of your gun? Or you have a gun that fires a devastating [b]cannon ball[/b] at enemies? Plus a variety of skills that help make runs smoother. Instantly destroying enemies when you dash into them when they're low health, being able to do more damage to stunned enemies...that sort of stuff made it fun to just absolutely dunk on the enemies. + I liked that with each increasing difficulty the enemies evolved and so did the bosses. Difficulty 0 is standard, and then you can go up to Difficulty 4 and enemies will gain special abilities like being able to heal those around them, or speed boosts. Some even spawn more enemies when killed. The bosses also undergo upgrades with more erratic movements and different attacks. [H1]What I Didn't Like[/H1] - This game does a bad job of providing feedback to players in regard to what selecting certain upgrades does to help. For example; I'd select an upgrade that would increase my damage and fire rate, but the never tells you what that means. Is it a percentage increase? A whole number? You don't ever know and it sucks because there are certain upgrades like "spikey armor" and "spiky armor" that [b]both[/b] increase damage from dash attacks, but if I select both during a single run, does one replace the other or do they stack? - The soundtrack is wack. The developers talk about some audio-visual journey depending on how you play the game but frankly it just sounds like a bunch of random noises. I don't think it helps that the setting and enemies are also all futuristic so it just tends to blend together. At one point I just took my headphones off because it got annoying. - There are some bugs that can definitely mar the experience. Some minor ones like your character dropping through the beginning area portal each time you start a new run. Audio also has these weird static bursts if you kill too many enemies at a single time. Some odd bugs like pulling up the Steam overlay makes you lose controller access and you have to click on something with the mouse and then open/close the overlay again to get controller support back. Once I had a separate application crash (Epic Games Launcher) and Go Mecha Ball was pulled down to the taskbar and I couldn't open it at all. Had to hard reboot the game. I only had the one major crash so my experience wasn't awful, but be warned this game is buggy. [H1]Recommend or Nah?[/H1] Go Mecha Ball has some awesome moments that come together through the movement and selecting the skills/upgrades/and weapons to make the run exactly how you want. The selections and drops [b]are[/b] random but even then there is a good enough variety that a run could still be successful even if it doesn't go as planned. I enjoyed the increasing difficulties and once I got a handle on how to move around the levels and attack enemies sometimes I'd be whooping out loud at the end of a level because it just felt so awesome. The game can be buggy and I never felt like I completely understood what I was selecting due to poor UI/information from the game unfortunately. I'm going to recommend this game. [B]Rating: ⭐⭐⭐/5 (3/5) Stars. Solid game with potential for lots of fun, but hindered by bugs and odd game design decisions.[/B]

Game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ impossible. I would say that this game is ultrakill for kids but i think it's as hectic as that game. It really needs a level randomizer though.

Está entretenido, aunque me hubiese gustado más variedad de enemigos al azar en cuanto a los bosses, se me hizo un poco repetitivo el sacar el final verdadero. Diría que es un juego que valdría 5$ aprox, ya que hay roguelites que rondan por 15$ y están muchisimos mejor pulido, lo que puedo decir es que su jugabilidad y su OST está bastante bien.

I didn't read any of the discussion board beforehand, so I was really happy with the gameplay after my initial noob run, and loved the style. On the second run, I ran into an issue where the menu remained on top of the playing field after "closing" it. Couldn't shoot anything; only ball dash. If I didn't exceed the two hour timer while alt-tabbed searching for a fix, I would have refunded it.

this game gets how to convey the feel of pinball without an ounce of traditional pinball controls. in fact it's actually a twinstick shooter that has you bouncing and rolling like some kind of wrecking ball before unloading lead or hard light into somebody and rolling off a second later. as a roguelike it's kinda shallow, but to be honest the main gameplay loop could of been it's own game, and to it's credit that's where it leans into. also obligatory "god i wish this was me".

muito bom... viciante
