The gameplay is fun and it pretty challenging, and I like how the power  cells can kill enemy when dropping down.

Some of my favorite music in the jam, really nice job with the sound design.

And the artwork is great too, I like the moving background.

Amazing amount of work, especially in just a few days :D

Nice job!

Thanks! I think writing the music is on of my favorite parts of game jams. When you have to write something in an hour or two, it forces you to get creative.

The dropping mechanic was more fun than I first expected :D The animations are very cute. 

If the robot would pick up the cells automatically when walking over them that would mak it more enjoyable in my opinion.

Thanks! Yes, I've since noticed that having to press the E button feels a bit finnicky. Might also be interesting to have the robot spawning power cells, rather than having them drop from the sky

I love the dynamics of using the very thing you are trying to protect as the very thing you use to destroy the very things that are trying to take away said thing! lol

Well done!

Seems there's a bug. When I started again no power balls would spawn. I had to refresh the page.

Thank-you! I've been watching a lot of Game Maker's Toolkit, and one of my biggest take-aways was the idea of objects having multiple mechanics. I tried to incorporate that here.

Thanks for the heads up on the bug, I'll have to investigate that.
