I wanted to let you know I think you're onto something really cool with your game. 

Also a couple notes, I was hoping you could put out the controls in some place easy to find, all i know is shift-click, f5, f9. Is there a way to quickly duplicate an items settings, like the guns or motors? Some items i have no idea what they do to, like the mechanical heart shaped thing that goes in the mech auxillary slot and i assume the other item is a battery of some sort. Also was hoping you could look at improving saves, as loading normally corrupts the game, sometimes visual errors, or breaking the world map (sometimes completely sometimes partially by removing specific zones), and duplicating audio.

Thanks for the comment.

Duplicating weapon stats is a good idea, I will think about implementing it.
The description for the reactor parts is not yet ready due to the complexity of their miscalculations. The first part gives a power boost parameter and increases heating. The second part increases this parameter and increases the maximum temperature. And the third increases the cooling and power as a percentage of the parameter from the first part.
Saving will not be soon. f5 and f9 were used for debugging in older versions and have not been removed. There is still the leader mech movement on the arrows and f6 for partial invulnerability.

whoa that's cool about the movement! how about adding a confirm key for exiting, pressing esc once is a little too easy to do by accident (intending to exit a tab, i killed a few runs this way on accident)

alright, for next build i will add question message after "esc", like in attack day skipping.
