How does your game represent "Power"?
PowerFlux is a puzzle platformer where you use a limited amount of energy to power on appliances and machines to help you escape the facility.

Competently made (I didn't encounter any major bugs) and well-animated. I liked the mechanic of planning a route and running to a power source in the 3 seconds before power runs out. Some of the vertical wall climbs felt janky, and it would be nice to see the path that moving platforms follow (easier to time a jump if I can see where it will stop). You have a good amount of levels here, and it's easy to imagine how you might add new mechanisms to power/depower to expand on the idea.

Draft and GraftAw man it was just getting good! Seriously though, those later puzzles were super well designed. Great job! I can totally see this as a jumping off point for a larger game in this style.

Climbin' CliffFun platformer, and the music was an absolute jam. Really enjoyed the mechanic - thank you for making a platformer that didn't make me hate my life :D

The Pawer StruggleCool puzzle game, love the way you distribute power and get fewer abilities . The pixel style was cool and the chiptune music was banging. Good job :)

Bots n' BatteriesThis is a really neat puzzle game. I love the how it isn't just a slower paced puzzler platformer as the introduction of the no power mode where you have to focus up on your platforming in order to keep going.

Switch Now!The art and music are great! The timing mechanic was an interesting spin on the power mechanic. Kind of like implementing coyote time in a a platformer; a grace period for power.

3x3 PowersLove the animation work on the player! The puzzles have the perfect amount of difficulty, and I really liked riding the conveyor belts upwards. My favorite part were definitely the shutdown parts, as PostMortemExpress mentioned. I like those leaps of faith where you have to hope and pray that you make it. Actually wish this one was longer, but I think it's probably the perfect length for a jam game.

Factory ResetI like the music and the art. Some of the puzzles later in the game I really liked. I enjoyed playing!

Power NappingI liked the shutdown aspect, I wished the game had leaned even more to that mechanic. Nice game.

Paper RootsPuzzle design is really good! It's a bit hard to tell if a conveyor belt is moving, though.

BufferduckyThe art is pretty nice, and the level design was pretty fun in the later levels

Tune In: Moderator SimulatorThat was a fun little puzzle game! The idea of depositing power to solve puzzles made for some great puzzles, all around fun game!

SuperMegaPowerGolf3DNice puzzle platformer! Great music as well. I wish you could jump with spacebar. :)
Sometimes it was tricky to see/understand that you actually could jump over a ledge. I spent some time trying to interact with a platform instead of just jumping over a ledge. Anyway, still fun. Well thought out level design.
