his is my first PICO-8 game, made for Ludum Dare 39. The theme was "RUNNING OUT OF POWER".

You play as a tiny battery that has to collect five letters (A, E, I, O and U) to win the game! You have a limited amount of energy. You can stop at the top yellow charging stations to recharge your power. You can also pick up extra power packs to expand your maximum power. That makes it possible to go longer without needing to recharge!

Controls: Z or X to start. Arrow keys to move.

Very nice little game! Really liked the art style! I felt that the battery would drain too quickly so I was never actually able to collect all of the letters. Normally 1 or 2 at most.

Nice style, love the graphics. I felt a bit frustrated while moving when I know I won't get energy because the movement speed feels slow. Anyway, it's fun to play, good work!

It has cost to get all the letters but it has been fun, very good!

Nice effort picking up a new tool (PICO-8) for a jam! Cute little game too. Would have been nice to see some more mechanics in there, but I still completed it. :thumbsup:

Pretty cool little game; was very hard to move around without draining. Difficulty was high on this one.
