Hello Pixeljam! Really LOVE the style of your games looks very interesting! I'd love to collaborate with you. I can cover all your sound needs from music to SFX, let me know if you are interested. Good luck! :)

Thanks for the offer but we have all of our audio needs met in-house :)

No problem! If you guys ever need sounds in the future let me know! Keep up the good work :)

Que pasada me encanta 😍 😘😜

Hey there. I have a few thoughts on this.

- I enjoy the atmosphere, the music, and the gameplay, but it's very hard to understand the environment.

- I can't tell whether there is any incentive to let go of left click. If there isn't, it might as well be held down the entire time, and if that's the case, that's mostly uncomfortable.

- The game is already compatible with hundreds of controllers, because you can use profilers (like JoyToKey) and plug the keyboard/mouse defaults into them. If you do include formal controller support, I hope it's specific to Xbox or PlayStation controllers, rather than a generic imposition.

- The opening and title sequences are too long, and they make getting a "game over" too unpleasant.

Thanks for the feedback.  The final version (1.0) is launching on March 25th and will include the means to just click to toggle auto-fire on and off.

Hey there! I'm a big fan of your games, since Dino Run 1 was on Kongregate. Me and my friends played Dino Run multiplayer for hours!

I just spent a few of hours playing Grid Ranger in the past few days, and I love it. It really gets me in the flow. I also love the music, and the aesthetics of the v99 engine. 

I'm still playing through level 2, but I can't wait for new levels. 

Thank you for such a great game.

Thanks!  A new hardcore mode is almost ready to test.  It's not exactly more levels, but a more challenging version of the existing ones with a new color palette.  After that's out, I'll start on an entirely new mode that will feel like a new level.

The video trailer for this looks great, but imo the game could do with more satisfying sounds/exposions as you blow things up.

Debug mode on 😁

Brutal! me encanta esa estética.

Awesome! I dig that old retro arcade vibe that done really well in this game.

Hi! I'm having some trouble getting the Mac version working. This might be my fault, because I have an _extremely_ strange setup, but... is it possible you compiled only an Apple Silicon binary, instead of an Intel / Apple Silicon universal binary? If so, could you possibly fix this so that the game can run on Intel-based Macs? Thank you!

Just uploaded a separate Intel version (GridRanger_MAC_Intel_0741) - that should work for you.

This looks good and interesting!

Congrats on getting featured on itch's channel! Also the game looks really cool, reminds me of Operius but more advanced :D
