This very enjoyable!
I like how the levels are nice and short and not drawn out. One of the few puzzle games this jam I bothered to finish

How does your game represent "Power"?
You play as a robot that uses limited power to move. When your power runs out, you can no longer move or act. You also have a dash which you can charge to increase it's power.

Actually I definitely made getting 3 stars way too hard. The idea was that each level typically had multiple ways to beat it, but only one way to get 3 stars with it sometimes being near frame perfect. An example is with the conveyor belt levels, you can just change the direction and do nothing else to beat the level, or you can move with the platforms to increase your speed and get to the goal quicker. But I could have made it more forgiving.
This was actually a really fun puzzle game. There were lots of interesting and varied mechanics. You nailed the theme really well. Your level designs are great.
Some recommendations:
- The game should automatically reset when you fall too far down.
- It's lacking music. The background ambient sounds are ok, but they're not a real substitute.
- You should look into using free art assets. Or perhaps, team up with an artist.

Drone TacticsThe game has charm on par with some of the flash games I would play in the computer lab as a kid. And, the stars are a nice touch to incentivize the player to search for all of them. Great work!

VENI VIDI VROOMVery cool concept with some great levels that take advantage of every present mechanic! I had fun figuring out the most optimal solution for each level, but so far I only managed to score only one 3 star rating. The only thing I'd add to this game is some music, as it is, the silence makes the experience a little more dull than it should be. Overall, a very well made puzzle game! Well done!

Super Powered PalsFun but I don't think many of the levels were that well designed. And having to stand next to the batteries for so long to fill up the energy was just needless time-wasting. It could fill instantly and improve the experience. Finding ways to beat the levels in unintended ways brought me the most fun. Solid effort!

Paper RootsThanks for playing! I did design the battery to charge slowly with the idea being to discourage overcharging. Meaning you can charge to full to make a level easier, but you would miss out on the time bonus. I probably could have made it faster while accomplishing the same goal. Thanks for the feedback!
Very interesting puzzle game! Some levels made me think and there is a lot of potential here. One thing that feels weird to me is that there is zero momentum when you fall without dashing. But other than that really solid experience!

Supper PowersGreat mechanics! Loved that the levels were all short and sweet, slowly introduced mechanics one at a time, and then started to combine them. Clever stuff and well paced!

ORBLORGO COMMANDDope mix of platforming and puzzles. I thought the lack of air movement was a little weird at first, but I think it was actually a really good design choice; it fit seamlessly with the rest of the movement in the game. Level 15 was my favorite and an excellent example of what this game was meant to achieve in my eyes -- a little confusion at first, some experimentation, then realizing the solution, and then executing the solution. A great little journey in a level less than 10 seconds long once it clicks. Awesome stuff.

Alternating CurrentsNeat little puzzle platforming game using battery power as a resource, I found it to be relaxing and not frustrating at all. I think this would be a perfect concept for a mobile application. Well done :)
