I had so much fun playing and completing Battle Buddies! The mechanic of managing your magically self-replenishing flashlight battery power (is the character carrying a power pack and charging it??), the position of your invincible battle buddy, and your own hurtable self makes for a hectic, thrilling experience.
My favorite part was picking up the power cell and getting swarmed by the enemies seemingly from all sides, and barely making it out unscathed!
One thing I would have loved to hear is some music, though with this being a game jam and with the amount of polish that went into everything else, I don't think it strongly affects my feelings about this amazing game.
