About

Sector 2 is a mech combat game that runs in your browser. You build a slow, heavy war robot from parts, walk it into a sectored arena, and win by holding the comms towers that feed your radar, not by aiming faster. There are three modes, a howitzer that lands on whatever your team's radar can see, bots that play by the same sight rules you do, and rooms for up to six friends, peer to peer. No accounts, no downloads, nothing installed.

It plays on a desktop browser with a mouse and keyboard.

Version 2.0 is the big overhaul: the look, the sound and the depth were allowed to grow, in an experiment called Mekanical. Today sector2.com is the experimental channel: new features land here first, before they reach mekanical.io. The design owes its shape to Chromehounds (the sector radar, the command relay, the parts), MechWarrior (the heat, the heavy feel) and Steel Battalion (the cockpit).

Everything was made with Claude.

The cockpit view with a howitzer: a dotted arc from the gun to a green ring on the desert, the range and flight time beside the crosshair, the compass strip and the radar — The howitzer's arc and impact ring, drawn from the real flight before you fire.

The garage screen: a turning preview of the mech, stat bars for speed, armour, radar, torso and heat sink, and the load and power budget — The garage: five slots, a budget, every number a bar.

A night firefight in the neon arena, tracers and muzzle flashes against black blocks with lit window strips — Neon at night.
