Feedback/personal opinions on the alpha:
1) PLEASE GIVE US A MUSIC VOLUME SLIDER! Your menu music is loud by default and not exactly subtle. People who aren't into this genre of music will absolutely hate it, and even people who like it may no want it blasting full volume every time they open the game
2) The game crashed for me the first time I opened it, second time was fine but it took an absolute age to load to versus bot selection screen. In previous builds this was nearly instant for me. Are you loading all the bot models before hopping into this screen? The load time was long enough that I thought the game had crashed again
3) I have multiple copies of resolutions in the settings menus (pic attached at bottom of the post). I assume each of these corresponds to a different refresh rate (since I'm using a 144hz monitor). A separate refresh rate option would be perfect, but failing that even just displaying the refresh rate with the resolution would clear the confusion up. Also it would be nice to get an 'apply' button in the settings screen. I couldn't find a way to apply my changed resolution, so I was stuck at 1080p
4) On the versus screen, it would be nice to have P2 default to CPU (IMO). Consider how often the player will be playing local co-op vs how often they will be playing vs the CPU.
5) The bots die way too quickly with no visual damage. I would be fine with them dying quickly, but there needs to be some audiovisual feedback of them getting obliterated in a few hits if that's the route you're going down. I appreciate that this is difficult to achieve, but it's really one of the main draws of robot combat.
I didn't play it enough to give much feedback on specific bots. Hopefully the above is some value to you!
