Man, the art and animations in this are really impressive, and I definitely like the effect that the power level has on speed and feel of the movement. It's also impressive for a jam game to be combining puzzles and action like this. Good stuff!

How does your game represent "Power"?
Power is both the player's speed and the player's health. They must acquire power, whether by obtaining batteries or stealing from other robots, in order to survive and move fast enough to destroy more robots.

I'll give some hints in case you ever come back: pink guy/shield means your power bar needs to be pink. Each battery gives a specific amount of charge when used, so you need to find a path that'll give you at least three batteries, which will get you to the pink power level. Glad you gave it a shot, hope you give it another!

I really appreciate the feedback! Yeah, the levels are not very challenging and reasonably open-ended since I've had plenty of bad experiences making and playing tough games for a jam. Everything you mentioned is really good stuff to think about (as far as score, we were talking about implementing a speedrun timer that'd be shown in the top right). There's so much else to mention that I don't feel like cramming in this one comment, but there's a ton of things that can be done here, and it's all under consideration. Working on this into a full release is becoming more and more of a possibility.
