How does your game represent "Power"?
A player can invest their electric power into enemies, and the amount of the power is rising exponentially(to the "power" of 1.5). Once the amount of power is greater than that of the enemy, a player steals all of their electricity and makes them "power bankrupt".

What an underrated gem like seriously. Combos were addictive and the flow of the game is so awesome. Only things I didn't love: combos were somewhat laggy/slow to perform like there was delay to my inputs and I think there could be more combos. With that said I really want to see you turn this into a full game. If you made it a little faster with like a skill tree or something I'd be willing to put money on something like this!

absolutely love the presentation, all the art and look of the game is amazing and colorful, the comboing was really fun and it fit the theme really well. all in all a great time!

Amazingly stylish. I'm baffled at how you and your team pulled it off. I didn't really get the power bankrupt thing and I found combat felt a little clunky, but the hammer made it worth it.

POWER BANKRUPT!!! is gonna be stuck in my mind for awhile LOL a good time! took be a little bit to get the hang of it, but it was a fun time!! fantastic work!!

Very pretty game and I like the visual style of having low frame rate animations. The power bankrupt mechanic didnt quite click for me, but I found the hammer smash to be very satisfying. Nice job!

The presentation is brilliant! The art style and the music fit really well together! It took me longer than I'd like to admit to understand the main "Power Bankrupt" mechanic but once I wrapped my head around it I found it very satisfying. Nice game!

Thank you for your kind words!

Cool style! I like the hammer and character designs. I also really like the shader used on the wall between rooms. Unfortunately one of the rooms bugged on me and I couldn't progress, all enemies were killed but the wall remained. At least it was nice to look at! Great entry

Love the music and art;  great interpretation of the theme. The Big Mode hammer kicks ass, but I think the player themselves could pack a bit more punch.

It's really cool that you could make this in just a week. Some of the delays between punches/rolls felt long but otherwise the gameplay was really smooth and fun. Great work!

Cool art style!

The combo/power system is very cool and I like the style! Pretty sluggish movement and combat but still great job!

I love the visual style! The gameplay can get a little repetitive, but with some more combos and a bit more juice, this could definitely be made into a proper game! Nice work!

Really sick game everyone, took a little while to get a hold on the mechanics but once I figured it out, I really enjoyed it. Beat the game, although I thought the final level was endless at a certain point as I had no indicator to how many waves there were. Great execution is such a small amount of time though, keep up the great work!

Damn, great style especially on the main character's model and stop-motion-style animation. I think a bit less lock-in time on the attacks or possibly allowing you to still move slightly during the wind-ups would help the combat feel a lot. Real good stuff!

Really cool visuals! Out of all the Unreal games this surely has the most refined models and animations, love it. Between the presentation and the gameplay it's like Jet Set Radio meets Spiderman PS4, great stuff. Gameplay is unfortunately slow though. I died to the wave with 4 mage skeletons and simply did not have the patience to get back to that point. I think with some tweaks this could be a real winner, great job!

I like the art at the beginning! Putting together a combo system with all the animations seems like a serious challenge for a game jam, but it seems to work well!

The visual are amazing and so is the way the theme was implemented! The game gets a bit repetitive and a lack of a boss is kind of disappointing, but this game shows amazing potential!

I love the style and the idea. The gamefeel is lacking and the gameplay starts getting tedious, but I would be excited for an improved version of this.
