That was an interesting and unique experience. At first I kind of just clicked buttons until the puzzles were solved, but eventually I got the hang of it. I also liked the music. The ending was epic. I enjoyed the experience!

How does your game represent "Power"?
For my approach, I interpreted power in the form of a circuit that provides electricity to different toys and gadgets. For the gameplay, you have to connect circuits using different buttons and switches. As you progress, you will be charging up all of the batteries that power main boss objects. Each of the 10 levels introduces a new mechanic to move the power through.

Pretty cool game. Although it was a lil confusing at first, once you get a hang of it, it's super fun to figure out. The boss fights were super fun lol.

Power the worldCool little puzzle! Tbh I finished it without understanding how it works - it kinda was easy enough to figure out by clicking through :) I didn't quite like the "basic" levels, but I loved the levels with special things (like the last, the cats, etc.).
And fantastic sound work! Although I had to tune it down a bit.

EmPopThank you for the feedback! Good to know about the volume, got a lot to learn especially regarding sound. The puzzle feedback seems to be a common one, I doubt I will continue with this project long after the jam but if I do a puzzle game in the future I will try to come up with something that requires more thought that you can't just click through. Thanks for playing!
It was tough to get started but the ending was worth it! Great work

POWER OF LOVEBALLI enjoyed how each puzzle was different from the last. Also, the music was very enjoyable and made the game that much more fun to play.

OffTheGridVery fun and casual puzzle game :D Only thing I didn't really get at first was how the boss worked and its mechanics but I still loved its design

Biggie Math AdventureI really like this game and the puzzles, they're all designed quite well. I did have one issue though. I was confused for the entire duration of the game, for the most part because the camera just zipped around and there was a strange amount of intensity. Most of the bosses made sense after a bit of fiddling around with them, but I feel like I needed some kind of explanation almost, because it was all trial and error figuring them out. I feel like the game also lacked feedback, which may be the core of the issue. For example, at the start of the game I had no idea what the buttons were, I was just clicking around and I solved the puzzle, I didn't know that it was a button until after a few puzzles. Maybe something like delaying the button press a bit and flashing the wire after the button or something to let the player know. This wasn't really a massive problem though, I got through the game just fine and still really enjoyed playing the game. Great job!

Fractured HornEvery aspect of this game is on point. The different puzzle mechanics, the music, the art. All of it! U have all my stars. Awesome work!

Space BubbleCool game! I feel like some of the puzzles I accidentally solved through trial and error, rather than working through the logic, but the puzzle logic was there and was sound. The boss objects were fun and each had unique character. I really liked the presentation of everything on one connected screen that the camera pans around on as you play, and of course the reveal at the end was very charming. The audio work was great too.

Draft and GraftThank you so much for the feedback! Especially about the puzzle being solved by accident, which makes sense. My original plan was to have a lot more puzzles, starting with a super simple one when introducing a new mechanic, then follow that one up with increasingly difficult ones using that mechanic, eventually leading to the boss. Unfortunately, time got the best of me and I had to scrap a lot of the puzzles I had sketched out to meet the deadline. I spent too much time programming the mechanics rather than building the puzzles using those mechanics.
Thanks for playing!
I LOVE the music and sound effects in this. I agree with another comment to about not being very confident in what I was doing, but I think that is EASILY fixed with even just a quick "tutorial" level to show the intent. Really think one is cool!

Beyond CapacityReally pretty! I loved the camera motions and the retro game callbacks. I was never fully confident what I was doing with the puzzles though, and mostly felt like I was clicking around.

Power HourThank you for the feedback! Glad you liked the throwbacks! There is a lot I would do to change the puzzle presentation in hindsight. Time got away from me and the presentation part was very rushed. If I end up working on this project more, I will try to make the clicking feel more intentional for the player.
really cool and original puzzles, really good sound and presentation. good job.
