Nice simple, crunchy, arcadey game. Love that the power meter also functions as a health bar, very nice dual purpose design!

How does your game represent "Power"?
The player has a single power bar which they need to charge up while avoiding enemies. Once your power bar is full, you can punch enemies sky high. More power = bigger punches, but your power bar is also your health bar, and charging reduces your movement speed.
Avoiding enemies gets trickier as the waves keep coming, so it's risk = reward to keep the fight going!

Power-Line Fried ChickenVery Juicy! Everything in this game feels so satisfying! Charging up the punch feels hype as the pitch of the charging sfx goes higher. Unleashing all the charged up energy feels great with a lot of oomph. Punching enemies (and their shields) feels and sounds so good. And the art... masterpiece! This game is so fun!

Power Nappingrly clean animations even with limited spritework, great feedback for the punches, music fits the pace. simple and well designed mechanic, with some nice enemy variety. i like the touch of the enemies swarming and breaking you apart when you're defeated.
a mobility option could be nice? Or even just an indicator for where the enemies spawn on a new wave -- i found myself getting trapped by spawns with no power sometimes when during later waves, but maybe thats just a skill issue lol
great work!

Clark the SparkThe punching mechanic felt juuuuust right. Would have loved a shop so that I could further upgrade my fighter along with the pickups. I pity the poor soul who brings a shield to a thunder punch fight.

Speed The Movie: The GameGood GRAPHICS! Thanks for being forgiving during the spawn phase. Love the retro vector effect on the activation and I loved punching dinos 3-4 times to the opposite screen just to rack up my combo.
