I guess I found the game I'm good at, because I actually had to quit on purpose after getting into a positive feedback loop of ever-increasing charge. This game is sooo much fun!
If you used a HUD style UI for the score/battery figures, then all you need to do is add game content (more varied map layouts, enemy types) to have something I would pay money for. The graphics, music, and sfx all create a vibe I find very comfortable in an after-work arcade game.
Also, as a super frivolous feature request: please have random commentary emoticon speech bubbles from audience members when cool stuff happens, I kept hoping that would happen.
This was me at 100 charge then shortly thereafter deciding to purposefully click all my charge out so I could try other games.
Thats a world record for sure lol! I'm so happy you had fun!
I'm definitely working on increasing map variety once the jam ends, and making the game more reactive to players actions is a really good idea, thx for it!
For the UI, I plan on updating it. I'm not an artist and struggled A LOT with making something beautiful, so ended up with the basic, standard text score lol.
I'm really happy that you liked it! Thx for the amazing feedback!

Thx! The sound design was the very last addition, and it was my first time using sfx on a game, next time it will be better ;)
