It was fun and had a strong concept that fit the theme. I feel that some of the platforming was a bit strict and the game could benefit from an additional mechanic like resurrecting a type of battery that can fly back and forth as a moving platform or a type of battery that is larger and eats your aH faster but serves as a taller and larger platform.

Overall I enjoyed it!

Thank you for reviews, I'm glad you liked it :)
@willdata true, there is a lot of space for improvements, but you know compo, only 48h, had to cut mechanics a bit :s

This was a fun, albeit short game 😃
The graphics are also very nice.
I would like to play a more fleshed out version of this!

This was a very clean idea and execution, and there is a lot of room to expand on the idea. Good job.

⭐ I liked the clean graphics aesthetic, and the music seemed to match it quite well.
👉 It would be nice to have a bit more control over our undead battery army, they did well enough for the puzzles in your LD entry, but I could see it being finky if you had more involved puzzles. I also found the controls a bit hard to remember. Space did one functions, enter another, and I'd occasionally switch them, to ill effect. ^_^

Overall great work. Thanks for making this.

Really good entry. Interesting mechanic, solid visuals, great atmosphere, clever puzzles. Just about everything I could ask for in a LD game. I'd love to see this fleshed out into a longer game!

A Godot game? Impressive. Some jumps are tricky, but overall gameplay feels good.

Here is my first playthrough:

Sorry but I was not able to play your game, I got an error saying "Can't draw OpenGL 3.3" or something like this.

:(

Really neat concept! I liked your minions having a constant cost, although I never really got into trouble with my power level.

Excellent job. It's a simple game, but it has been polished a lot. It can easily become into a complete game.
I can only critique the camera. It's too low, and force you to make faith leaps very often.
