Mechfection

Note: The game will take a moment to load, and the load bar may appear frozen just before it finishes.
There may also be a small freeze when pressing the 'play the game' button.

If playing in firefox, the game will open in a new window, and display in the top left corner.

Description

Mechfection is a challenging 2D top-down roguelike. Fight off an endless horde of zombified mechs, avoiding becoming infected yourself. Eliminate as many as possible and survive as long as you can, collecting salvaged upgrades and weapons to assist you along the way.

There are 10 upgrades and 12 weapons to discover.

All assets made by me, JamesBBarrow, within the week of the jam, excluding the font.

A big thanks to my Twitch community and friends for keeping me company as I made it and providing motivation and feedback <3

🐛 Known Bugs

1.  Very infrequently, the 'Play Again', 'Meme Mode' and 'Tutorial' buttons on the Game Over screen do not work.
   • I don't know why this happens, but a quick fix is to switch browser tabs, then switch back again.
2. Rarely, the fire effect on an enemy will not disappear when they are destroyed. It will eventually though and is only a visual bug.
