Going off the title art alone, I was NOT expecting this game to be about playing a silly little worm fighting robots and collecting scrap. Great concept!

How does your game represent "Power"?
you are farming lightning as a source of electrical power

movement is a little floaty, very silly little game tho. very cool, great presentation.
Really like the concept, I could totally see there being more building types that could defend against drones. Honestly super cool!
Great art style and presntation, love the little shrimp guy. For some reason the WASD controls on the diagonal grid combined with the way he turns around confuses my brain a little bit, but I think this kind of movement would feel great on a controller
This is a deceptively simple game. The lightning pole has a lot of intricacies that make the game quite deep. Realizing you can use the poles to kill the drones because you know lightning is gong to spawn there was a cool moment. Then realizing that placing more poles meant that I couldn't predict where the lightning was going to land and therefore making it harder to hit the drones as well as making it more likely that the lightning would hit me. It makes you put a lot more thought about whether you want to place a pole or not. Had to play until I could get top 10.
This a krilliant little game that reels you in with the seariously shrimpressive art style and hooks you with the great gameplay. I'm not shore how you tackled crayting a game this fun, but it bassically has me hooked. I've got a sinking feeling that I'll be playing this for an eely long time. Whale done!
Okay, I made it to top 5 with 930 points, not too shabby (probably won't be there long tho).
Cute game!
Shrimp so funny and cute! Small and intresting concept, cool game for jam.
Interesting little game, the shrimp is very fun to pilot. I managed to get out of the drone's grip pretty much by holding all the keys down, and it would give up on me. I got over 600 points and by then the lightning was coming fast.
Made it to the top 10! I liked the presentation and the theme, the lil shrimp bot is v cute :)
I wonder if it could be interesting to try and use lighting to your advantage in order to defend yourself against the drones?
Interesting idea!
I didn't quite get why shrimp - but I totally loved the shrimp movement animation :) Although death from lighting is a bit weird, especially at first - it's counter-intuitive that the shrimp gets shoved off the building when it gets a lighting hit :) Also the enemies are a bit too hard to manage - I never managed to get one killed while it was grabbing me. Maybe they should be introduced a bit later, when you have at least a few towers?
That said - great submission, and a quite unique game mechanic!
This is great, I had a lot of fun with this. I like that you place the lightning rods which increases the lightning rate which increase the difficulty inherently. The only issue I have is I think when being grabbed by a drone you have to press the direction that it is pulling you in, which I think is a bug. Great job on this one!
Awesome little game of cat and mouse. Watching those robots fly when zapped made me so happy that they tried to mess with the shrimp. Graphics were great, music was fitting, sfx hit hard. I liked that getting grabbed wasn't a death sentence, mashing out made for some tense struggles as my rods were going off left and right around me. Fantastic entry!
