Surprisingly fun. The thumbnail made the game look worse imo

How does your game represent "Power"?
Bulbo is the power source of the emitted lights. In the beginning his power is limited, but it is not unleashed yet.

This is a fun concept. It may be more engaging if the pace were faster and there was more to the light/dark dynamic - for example the enemies look different in the light than in the dark. Something like that would contribute to world building and immersion. Great work!

3x3 PowersAt first I thought i had to hit the enemies directly with the light, and then i realized I could bait them into walking in it! really liked that aspect of it. Very nice.

OffTheGridan interesting way to play with damage, electricity and the player's visibility area, it turned out to be a good variation of vampire survival. the music is cool, but it was chosen strangely, as if a little out of place. I liked it, my highscore is 130

POWER OF LOVEBALLThis was really fun, slow at first but you can feel yourself getting stronger quicker as time goes on. Nice work!

Fugue Shot (Jam Version)I like roguelikes and I liked this game! It was satisfying clearing lots of enemies with a single attack. The music choice was also fitting

Power NappingCool game! I like how the darkness adds to the importance of positioning in the roguelite genre

Death Race for PowerI played this for way too long lol. I really like the idea of having the shooting mechanic be an automatic shot that places a floor trap down. That is not something I've ever really seen as the main damage in a game like this. I was really impressed with this game!

Snailevator PitchesVery nice, the fact that you cant see the enemies until they get a little closer feels nice.
Great job!

Frog WizardAt first I was confused with how the game worked as I didn't know what kind of game to expect based on the main menu and the game description, but it didn't take me long to realize that it's a Vampire Survivors style game, and a pretty decent one! It's kind of easy to get overwhelmed (or maybe I just suck balls ;-:), so I didn't get to last longer than 89 seconds, but I still enjoyed what I played. The use of darkness is very clever, both to save on the development time and also to make player attacks pop harder! Well done!

_sheld[ON]Love the little robot and the little enemies! They could stand out more though. And the issue with the black background is its hard to know if youre moving or no. The font makes it hard to see the numbers on screen. Apart from that great controls. Thanks!
