Source methodology

This page explains where Mechangelion.com gets facts for the Mechangelion - Robot Fighting guides and the short catalog around them. It is the companion to the editorial policy. We are not Moonee Publishing Ltd. Studio support remains contact@moonee.io. Website mistakes go to hello@mechangelion.com.

Primary sources (preferred)

  1. Google Play — package com.tsyatsya.mechangelion; developer and seller named as Moonee Publishing Ltd on the listing we checked. Used for install identity, free-to-play framing, and store description lines.
  2. Apple App Store (US) — app id 1668157669; version history and “what’s new” lines when present. Country stores can differ; tell us which country you opened if a line disagrees.
  3. Studio site — moonee.io for studio identity only, not for fan-made damage tables.
  4. Live browser build — the portrait Unity build embedded on this site; used for session feel, control hints, load behavior, and whether a round teaches the wind-up loop. Not used to invent numbers the UI never shows.

How we record a check

Guide pages do not print a last-updated or reviewed line. The check lives in the page markup and in sitemap lastmod. When a store line changes, the store wins until we republish. Tips and beginner pages follow a refresh cadence when the fight loop changes; trust pages update when policy, contact, or ads status changes. Sitemap lastmod moves with those trust and money URLs.

A tips refresh means a writer re-read the page against the live player and store surfaces. It does not mean every catalog side game was re-audited the same morning.

Secondary sources and conflict handling

Other wikis, Discord rumors, Reddit threads, and YouTube comments are not enough to print a number as fact. If we must mention them because players will see the conflict in search results, we label the claim reported, name the other source, keep the capture date, and refuse to crown a winner until a primary surface agrees. Contested rows stay contested in the open rather than silently deleted.

Forbidden sources

We do not scrape paid APK mirrors, “mod menus,” click-gated download blogs, or account marketplaces. We do not treat App Store screenshots from a different game as evidence. We do not host installers, and a third-party page that copies our guides and adds a fake download button is not a source we will cite — send that URL to hello@mechangelion.com so we can warn players instead.

Catalog embeds

Side games in the catalog load from third-party frames (including hosts such as puzzio.io). Their art, trademarks, and in-game rules stay with those developers. Our methodology for those pages is thinner on purpose: shelf placement, approximate session length, and a link back to Mechangelion — not a fabricated wiki for a game we do not operate. Embeds may show their own ads inside the frame; those are not our AdSense units. See Ads & disclosure.

What players should do with this page

If you only wanted to fight, open the homepage player or the beginner guide. Use this methodology page when you are checking whether a number on our site is backed, or when you are preparing a correction email. Related trust pages: Editorial, About, Contact, Privacy, DMCA.

Contact for source disputes

Send the URL, the sentence, and the primary page you believe we missed. Include the country store if the listing text differs. We will compare and either update the guide, label the row open, or remove the claim.
