How does your game represent "Power"?
A father becomes power hungry and DIY-s too close to the sun. Soon all his children are electrically powered beings and his wife's head has been replaced by a lamp. The art theme and music is also very electronic / metal.

the art and music are really great, very cool and immersive. the writing is fun, story is enjoyable as heck. the gameplay is fun but the level/game design could be better, it felt impossible to beat any of the rooms without tucking myself in the corner and shooting at the kids. that being said, i had a lot of fun, and i really liked this game.

Thank you! The levels ended up being so hard I was afraid no one would get to appreciate the office scene :') I was pretty proud of that one XD

Fascinating game, the music absolutely slays. I would've liked it if there was a sprint button, I felt like as soon as I got out to the room with a bunch of lamp ghosts, they absolutely bodied me, and I barely came out of it unscathed. The art style and atmosphere was well done!

Thank you! A sprint button did come up during discussion but it was during the last couple days when we were rushing to make the game playable haha, so it ended up falling through the cracks

Comment: ESH. Turning your wife into a lamp is not only immoral, it's illegal

(Fun premise! Feels a little slow to control. The sfx remind me of miniblin trauma from my old gamecube :P )
