One liner

A free browser idle game about one loyal AI and a series of increasingly large mechs.

Description

Humanity's machines went feral; one defense AI stayed loyal. That one is you. Big Mech Energy Idle is an incremental game where your mech auto-battles the uprising while you wire salvaged parts into its power graph, duel the 11 AI Overlords running the rebellion and upload yourself into 12 increasingly absurd war-frames, from a junk gremlin to a machine with a star for a heart. Each fallen overlord surrenders a whole subsystem: drone sorties, a pet kennel, a forge, a rail network, a stock market, a city that moves in on your legs. It plays itself when you are gone and rewards you for showing up.

Features

• MechMaxxing: a visible, wireable damage pipeline built from looted parts
• 12 mech incarnations, each a transformation with its own silhouette
• 11 overlord duels, each unlocking a full subsystem
• Pets: shrunken enemies that follow you into battle, plus gold trophy minis
• True idle: offline progress, drone sorties and a game that respects your absence
• All procedural art, deterministic simulation, saves that migrate forever
