Great game. I suck at it.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to multitask everything correctly, and I've always been garbage at rhythm games. I got out of the tutorial, went into career mode and promptly got turned into pasta by Robo New Zealand.
I'm having a blast, though. This is one of the most unique games I've played in a long time, and a breath of fresh air. Looking forward to whatever the future brings for this little gem.

Thanks for playing! I totally understand the game may not be for everyone given how different it is. If I can ask, were you playing with controller or mouse? And were you using the shortcut bindings for the arms/legs/heat? I'm just wanting to get a better sense of the difficulty.

I tell a lie -- I went five rounds before becoming pasta. It wasn't quite as bad.
I'm using mouse and keyboard. I wasn't aware of the shortcut bindings, but I'll look into them.
In all likelihood, I'll just need to play a bit more to get a proper sense of how everything works. As I said, multitasking has never been my strong suit, but I'll learn.
To be clear, I don't think it's too difficult, I just need to, as the kids would say, get good.

my first 2 fights i got absolutely destroyed, now 4 hours later i can beat enemies without losing any hp outside of heat damage ocasionally.

like every game once you get used to the bindings and the flow of combbat it becomes much easier, specially so since it's a rythm game and instead of having to learn complex enemy attack patterns like in a souls you just have to listen to music.

there are also many tricks you can do to win much more easily, for example, you can spam push laser into drones and kill most enemies before they even touch you, or go for a full speed robot and spam stun glove which will also result in doing lots of damage before the enemy hits you.

the first thing you learn is how to follow the beat for charging stuff like arms legs and heat, then you'll learn to time your punchcard cliicks with pressing 1/2/3 for charging at the same time and the last step is learning to dodge while doing it. past that the game is pretty much a piece of cake, at least for now.

my best fight so far was against a robo mexico, i landed 62 punches and it landed 4 LOL. dodging + stun glove spam is really strong.

Well, I'm getting better. The shortcuts definitely help. That being said, I wound up in an infinite reboot loop, where I would reboot from the 10 count, then immediately start again, four times in a row. I ended up getting eliminated during the repair time in between rounds. I don't know if that is intentional.

Turns out my dodging wasn't working because I was pressing the wrong buttons. Classic.
I'll try it out, cheers.

Oh, so you mean the 10 countdown started whilst you were in the corner receiving repairs? If so that would be a definite bug.

Yep. I don't know how to go about replicating it. My guess was that I was stuck in the loop (sequence starts, reboots, starts again immediately) and it sort of overlapped into the repair sequence.
