> **[Orange's Mechanical Monster](https://arcade.makecode.com/S27819-88910-04376-28430)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. Here is my submission! It is based on my game, Circles and Squares, and there is a bit of LORE through their dialogue but you don’t need to understand it. The cool part of this is that after a while you will take control of the mech! Very cool! This is your only way of dealing damage, so use your time in the mech wisely. Controls WASD to move If you have control of the mech, then use A button to fire Important things to know The orange will use three abilities, and then you will switch places with him and steal his mech. After a little while, you will switch back. It is possible (however difficult) to one cycle the orange, but it will likely take 2 cycles. Also, the music is VERY loud so feel free to turn it down. Thank you! ---

I think it should now be possible to survive the finale given you still have enough hp! I’m probably going to work on a remake/fuller version sometime in 1000 years!! ---

I saw you play it on stream, the key to winning is patience, you have to wait for the bar to charge because Zachary is a mimic of you, but he can’t spam, so you have to hold the attack button to damage him. that boss was kinda rushed, and I recommend trying bounty hunter or mexonia. Im considering making a less rushed sequel. you should check it out! ---

tbh, the first game you can’t actually win, it was you just survive for as long as possible…the sequel is completable, just hard turns out to beat. also, its a good thing the makecode team did not win the game as if you look in the code, you will see the player was the villain the entire time, and the robot was protecting a planet from a war criminal…just wanted to give you a tidbit about that. ---
