  • PowerSurge! is a cool puzzle game where you control both enemies and the player in order to reach the power on button. Visuals are easy to look at, colors matching, sounds are fun to listen(died on purpose couple times to listen more).

Challenges

Open Source

Build it with Phaser

Very nice! Great mechanics, great effects, great graphics. Tricky as hell, mind you, but definitely satisfying when you beat a level.

The main menu button is already fun to interact. I like how the circuit flows with the button.

The levels are pretty challenging for me.

It took me a while to figure out how to time the traps.

One nice change would be only activating the shooters when it is on screen.

I managed to get to 25

Awesome! I really liked this game! At first, I wasn't even using the shooting which made it a little harder. When you die does it take you back to the first level? A level select might be nice and also scaling difficultly. Great work!

Very cool arcade style game! I liked the aesthetics and found the gameplay to be quite fun. Great work!

Wow, really cool game. I really like the turn based approach and the graphics! Here is some minor feedback which might improve the game:

  • If you have a game which is mainly controlled by the keyboard, make sure that you can do everything with the keyboard. You could have used ENTER or SPACE for "Replay".
  • Keep in mind that some weird countries (including mine :)) have a QWERTZ keyboard layout. When you use Y or Z in a game always make sure both keys work.

Congrats to this very well made and fun game!

Nice entry!

Very innovative little game. I don't think I've really played anything quite like it before. I'm quite amazed by how similar it looks to a game I made for another game jam years ago. I guess not too amazed considering it is just pixel art computer board graphics lol Check it out sometime: https://dunderonion.itch.io/super-bitly-blast

Fantastic take on the theme, simple yet VERY addictive and I loved the old voice synth speech.
Hit's a good nerve on the retro gamers heart <3
