Ludum Dare #39compo
Loader Escape

Description
Pilot your loader to the portal at the end of each level. You must get there before running out of power. Every action you take consumes power, so keep an eye on the level. Look for more efficient paths.
Keyboard support works, and the game walks you through how to control the character with the keyboard. Controller support is sketchy. It works with my Xbox controller, but probably won't work with others. If your controller does work, use the D-Pad to move right and left. The X button jumps, and the A button picks things up and puts them down.

The game itself was interesting with a heavy nod towards Portal and Mario.
The platforming is servicable, would love better graphics in this though, and the jump sound is kind of grating (you could use audacity to fade it in/out so that the white noise is less jarring).
I like the idea that holding an object consumes a lot of battery, as well as falling down and activating your hover boots.
