Lot of speed running potential in this one! If you continue to work on this project I recommend having sound effects for when you shoot or get hit. Great start!

How does your game represent "Power"?
Your health bar is a draining power meter and you need to collect batteries to charge it. Your dash costs power as well.

Great music! wub wub! I really enjoyed the main character and shooting all the things. Good work on this!

Stone Smasher PowerFun! If the wall jump is a bit janky at times. There are not enough side-scrolling shooter-platformers anymore!
A few ideas to try if you're still working on the game post-jam:
- Try keeping the enemies from firing unless they're within a shorter distance from the player, and maybe lower the speed of the projectiles so there's less temptation to snipe since they'll be more defenseless from afar. This can make the enemies feel much more life-like as they will seem to respond to the player, if that makes sense. If that change makes it too easy, you can balance this out by making the projectiles more damaging.
- Try adding simple sound effects (e.g. from https://chr15m.itch.io/jsfxr) for the main actions in the game: So a sound for shooting, a sound for jumping, and a sound for taking damage. It's amazing how much sound adds to the "feel", trust me!
Cheers!

Live Wire: The Power StruggleGood music choice-- made it feel badass speedrunning through the stage while shooting all the enemies haha. That was fun!

Power NappingGame was fun to play, though there was noticeable movement jank. Knowing that there was health in every enemy made me a lot less afraid of dying, in a good way.

Train Man's Rude AwakeningLoved going super fast and the movement options made it even better. Only issue I have is that you can't really see your HP on the web build, and you can very easily get stuck on collision when you don't want to, but overall the speed and being able to fling yourself super high was really enjoyable!
