How does your game represent "Power"?
Bots 'n' Batteries uses the theme of power in a couple core mechanics, player health, and special weapon charges.

The player's health constantly drains over time and can only be replenished by destroying enemies and picking up the batteries they drop.

The player's special weapon charges constantly over time and can bank up to 4 shots. The charge rate is dependent on the amount of player health "power" they have collected from enemies. The more power, the faster the special weapon charge!

Fun Game! Hard, but fun. It still felt fair. I felt like if I died it was my fault and I could have avoided it. Well done!

Thank you for playing and commenting! We try not to take any cheap shots at the player and give plenty of room for mastery!

This was heaps of fun! The sound effects mesh together so well and it is so satisfying to weave through enemy fire. I love how the sprites pop out of the environment, very readable which is hard to get right in bullet hell games. Great job!

Really nice spritework, the enemies and weapon effects look incredible! The special attack feels great, clearing the whole screen with it is very satisfying. Honestly everthing is satisfying, this feels really good to play!

I love it when people put the time into VFX, hitstun, and satisfying enemy deaths. This one's fun, straightforward, and slots right into where I want it to be <3 Y'all hit the nail on the head, and I had a great time :)

This game reminds me heavily of Ubermosh, very nostalgic.

Fun lil high score grindy game! Pretty tight and fun loop that would definitely benefit from more upgrades to have the player grow to potentially overpowered levels. Nice work!

Score: 8750

I liked the sound effects and the game had a good feel to it. I found it a  bit hard to dodge the bullets, maybe the character could be made smaller?

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks for playing and providing feedback! One tactic that helps is to hang back further from enemies so their bullets spread out more. If you play too aggressive its gonna be tough!!

Fun fact, we had one player get a score multiplier of 100x and I still have no idea how he did it...

Fun classic arcade style game. Killing enemies while dodging bullets and trying to pick up batteries is a fun gameplay loop. I do think the game was lacking some player feedback in some places. Like there wasn't much to tell you if you had been hit by a bullet. But other than small stuff like that the game turned out good and the art is really nice. Good work!

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thank you for the kind words and the feedback! Yeah I should've added a proper visual tell and sound effect for getting hit but we ran out of time while trying to fix everything. We could possibly put them up post-jam, thank you very much for playing ^_^

Developer

We'll definitely clean up some of the feedback after the jam! The deadline won this round. :D

Classic twin stick shooter fun! Very slick and polished. Graphics, gameplay, and music all felt refined. My one complaint was that I didn't realize when I was getting hit sometimes, so maybe some adding some more feedback in that situation would be good. But overall I really liked this. I especially liked how the camera shifted based on where my mouse was. 

Developer

Thanks for the kind words and great feedback! I've been thinking about the player getting hit effects and sounds but we didn't have enough time to resolve it properly, appreciate the input and thanks for playing! :D

Nice stuff!  I don't think I'm good enough to get to the boss, but I liked what I played :D
