Very fun but also super punishing and oppressive puzzle solving gameplay. Really liked the presentation and just an impressive amount of work for such a short space of time.

How does your game represent "Power"?
- You play as a robot, inherently tied to the concept of power.
- Your power constantly drains, requiring you to recharge to survive.
- Many puzzles in the game rely on power to be activated through a cable in order to be completed.
- You can restore your power through power stations at the start of each puzzle.

Really enjoyed the puzzles, they were fun and new mechanics were introduced really well. Game looks nice too. The biggest problem I have is the having power that drains over time and dying and starting over, its completely unnecessary because I want to take my time solving the puzzle and it just punishes me when I can't do it in time. Unfortunately I couldn't solve the last puzzle in time before dying and didn't want to replay the whole game to do it so IMO I would just turn off the power draining over time, have a health bar that regenerates, and when you die, reset to the start of a section. Overall, amazing job especially for your first game jam, good puzzle games are hard to create, so good job!

lith_ionRan out of power in the final room, probably got hit by too many lasers.
I got stumped at the start (thinking I needed to use all switches somehow) and at the end (special cube did not seem to work on required pad).
Neat little experience that middle chunk is.

Biggies Big BounceAwesome game, big portal vibes with the puzzles which I didn't expect to be so challenging. Think I ran into a bug were I couldn't crouch when on reserve power and ended up dying and going all the way back to the start on the last puzzle XD Still, amazing game and well done everyone!

Pound Town: Fisting EditionThis was great, I love physics-based puzzle games! completed it in 15 min, and no joke, I ran out of power right at the end. That was a stressful moment, haha

SuperMegaPowerGolf3DI liked it a lot! The puzzles are fine for the most part, the added stress of running out of power is fine.
Only part I would say I didn't like was the word puzzle at the end. I don't know if i couldn't find the hint, or if it just had to be meta solved, but either way, it slightly soured an otherwise exceedingly pleasant experience

InertiaNice stuff! Took me a minute to figure out how the plates worked at first, but once I got the core concept the puzzles were pretty engaging. I developed a hatred for cameras for sure.
