Overall the game is good.
Pros:
- First, you took advantage of the jam's theme in a really interesting way, giving future possibilities to create interesting puzzles with the gauge's mechanic.
- Good music to keep the player captivated. Intriguing indeed.
- General design is really good. Maintains a nice tech theme.
- Good art.
- Multiple modes. Nicely done.
Cons:
- You need to fix the collision of the main character to just the feet. When going up or the sides I got stuck, multiple times, when it wasn't supposed to. It didn't allow me to dodge some enemies.
Great job! Looking forward to see more of your work.
