This was fun! I really liked the use of the POWER.

How does your game represent "Power"?
The different combinations of letters P, O, W, E, and R completely determine your power in the game.
Any number of Ps, Os, and Ws loaded into a bullet shell will combine to create bullets with different effects.
P-iercing power determines how many enemies your bullets can hit
O-ffense power determines the damage of your bullets
W-arping power determines how many fragments your bullets shoot out
E-nergy is your health
R-oll power is how many times you can dodge roll

I stronger I become, the faster I move, sonic shot appears - the more innocent alien camps I annihilated. I didn't want to believe it at first, but the hero will never make it home. I am destined to continuously erase the alien lifeforms from history - the hero is the bad guy!! :) great work, thanks for making this. Oh yeah! Great music too! A proper banger

Stone Smasher PowerI love the upgrades and the retro feel! It would be nice to be able to collect the upgrades from slightly further away (or while running by). It seemed like I had to stand right on top of them. The ship looks great. The power shots are fun. Nice work!

POWERCHORDSolid entry, the game flow is flawless. Cool ideia for the P.O.W.E.R theme. Serious game here.

Caesar: Thumbs of FateI think I got just over 50,000 points but the results screen went away instantly. Super fun! I enjoyed getting more powerful, especially when I had a triple shot. That did some serious damage to those alien colonies. Great job!

Climbin' CliffI like how the weapon building system gives you different combinations to work with, which in turn changes your approach towards eliminating enemies. At first, I thought you needed to spell “POWER” instead of “POW” for the bullets, and I believe there’s a glitch in the GUI that lets the player do this, but it does break letter pickups. Other than that, this is a cool take on the twin-stick genre!

Uranium SupremeSuch a unique idea and well executed. Great use of the POWER theme here! I also kept dragging E's from my health into my bullets thinking it was a risk/reward mechanic..! Oops... Loved the sprite-work and the music was great too. I'm gonna come back to this one to try some new letter combinations!

Thunder PunchThat music slaps! It definitely made the destruction feel that much better. Having a ton of bullets going out at once was very satisfying. I look forward to seeing more levels or more terrains to conquer. Nice work!

3x3 Powersinteresting twist with drag and drop mechanics, well balanced and polished game. and the graphics are just great!

Power Oopsyessss, the moment when you get so powerful that everytime the enemies spawn, my fps slows down (in a good way) and makes me feel more powerful.

POWERKEYBOARDI dig it! The music was nice and the upgrading system was unique! Well done!

Power Meter SimulatorReally fun gameplay loop and creative use of the theme. Once I understood the upgrades system the game really opened up

Power Nap!I Like the music in this game.
The graphics were also pretty tight.
The Controlls felt a bit akward at first
Overall very nice game
