How does your game represent "Power"?
Suck up junk to grow big, then take over the world!
Your character, a vacuum gone rogue, has to manage its power levels in order to complete each level. Suck up junk to level up. Be quick! Your power can run out.

Fun game! Wasn't expecting a whole second level. I agree that it's a little tough on that first level, but it was very enjoyable once you start snowballing and sucking up bigger and bigger things. I would maybe make the early sizes take less to grow and the middle-larger sizes take a little more. The art was very cute, and I really enjoyed the jungle tune. Really sets you in the mood to go fast. Congrats on finishing your first jam!

Draft and GraftThat’s exactly it. At first you are sucking up lint and cigarette butts, level 2 you can suck up glasses and cans, and so on. Eventually you have to move a bookshelf to find the exit.
Sadly I set the difficulty too high and some people are struggling to reach the exit. After the jam I plan to tweak the difficulty and add a third level.
This is great as a first game jam entry. Really great use of the theme. Excellent music, btw. There was so much variety in objects and their sizes. But maybe that's one reason you ran out of time. It'd might have been better to just focus on the one house alone.
I think the meter runs out too fast. Also, maybe add some visual meter to indicate how powerful the vacuum is getting or how far off we are from increasing in suction strength.

Caesar: Thumbs of FateThis was dope! Really enjoyed playing this! And I'm afraid we need more jungle.

Power Meter SimulatorHard to grasp the mechanics at first, it's like everything is thrown in your face at once. But once you get used to it its really fun. Cheers one this one!

Frog Eat WorldI ran into a funny bug when my tube got stuck behind the wall and saw that its actually just made out of black circles. Now thats a clever way to easily make a good looking tube!

Power-Line Fried ChickenThis is fun! I love the art style, reminds me of Warioware. Gameplay is very Katamari Damacy which is great. Only thought is that I feel like the meter might go down a little fast because I had a hard time staying past level 1. Great job!

Fugue Shot (Jam Version)Fun! It's satisfying to roam around grabbing stuff. Reminds me of katamari damacy. Was a little unclear which items I could not suck up.

ORBLORGO COMMANDThis idea is super creative and I liked how busy the scene was. It really felt like the vacuum interacted with everything! Unfortunately I haven't ascended humanity yet, but I'll keep trying. :)
