Variety Mecha
About Variety Mecha
A dedicated dash key is unusual in a browser shoot-em-up, and it changes how fights play out. Shooting lives on J and the dash sits on K, which means repositioning is always available and never costs you your weapon, so trading shots from a fixed position is almost always the wrong call. The mechs are large targets, and the dash is what stops that from being a fatal design problem. Movement stays on the standard four keys, and everything transfers to on-screen buttons on a phone, where the dash is noticeably harder to time.
How to Play
- Move with WASD and shoot with J.
- Press K to dash out of incoming fire.
- Use the dash to reposition constantly rather than trading shots in place.
- On mobile, use the on-screen buttons for the same actions.
