Really smooth gameplay, wish there was more of it, makes me want to speedrun the game! Is there a way to speed up charging the batteries? It takes a while, especially if you have more than one empty.
Thank you for the game! Are you planning to continue working on it after voting?

How does your game represent "Power"?
The player plays an IRS agent with electric powers. The player has a rapid fire, but low damage, simple attack of electric rays. When the player picks-up batteries, then a more powerful attack can be performed.

I’m glad you enjoyed it. Gameplay wise there is not a way to speed up charging the batteries. It could’ve been a level-up ability perhaps? I understand that feeling, originally the chargers also ran out of battery, so it has been a balancing effort hahahaha I am not planning on continuing to work on it. Maybe in the future I’ll restart it.
I wish i had a machine gun like the bad guys haha. If i really dialed in, I'm sure I could beat all those baddies, but they're above my level at the moment. Lovely twin stick style approach <3
it was a really good game for your first game jam, and it had all of the hotline miami formula, so i had fun, keep making games!!
This is really impressive for your first jam. Looking forward to what you manage next time!
Really fun and cool game! Gave me serious Hotline Miami vibes. The game feel was just right! Nice work inserting the theme into it. I really wanted to play more, but the game ends abruptly just as you get into it.
As for recommendations:
- Add some music to it as an instant big improvement!
- Health packs.
- Longer levels.
I think the game definitely has a lot of potential. More levels, enemies, and speeding up the charging could do a whole lot! Great game!
Finished the game! Would love to see how the power mechanic can be further developed :)
I think some music would also be nice! Kevin Macleod has some great stuff that a lot of game jammers use if you run out of time to make music :) incompetech Music Search
