Play as 8A-Terry, a small robot on a mission: Bringing batteries to his significant other. However, you also need the batteries' energy to get to her! How much energy will you sacrifice in order to reach her in time ?
Basic Controls:
Left/Right Arrows - Move
Up Arrow/Space - Jump
Down Arrow - Crouch
C and V - Upgrades
Upgrades:
Dash (Costs 5 energy): Quickly dash forward a short distance. You are invincible during the dash.
Burn (Costs 10 energy): Burn flammable objects.
Climb (Costs 15 energy): Activate Climb to be able to climb up walls for 2 seconds. Simply run to a wall after activation to start climbing!
Double Jump (Costs 5 energy): Activate Double Jump whilst mid-air to perform a second jump to go further and higher!
Be mindful when getting new abilities, as grabbing a new one means sacrificing another!
I like the built in tutorial, the level design/progression, and the different jump techniques that were introduced. Well done, especially with this being your first jam! See you at LD44 :)
Your game was played on my stream ( twitch.tv/ursagames ) for the second day of Ludum Dare streams - you can find the timestamp of your game here: https://goo.gl/N2rkr8
Even though the art style was blending in my eyes it still was a good experience. Loved the upgrades and how you can use them to take a different path. And the controls were good and responsive too except for their layout but they worked
I really liked the power-ups in the game and how you built some of the levels anticipating that the player may not actually having one of the required power-ups therefore giving them a different route. The controls were well done. I would say that the game could have done with some polish, some of the hitboxes are a bit too large and there's a pretty nasty blind jump in the second level (the one that requires the double-jump) I died a few times on that part.
Otherwise I quite enjoyed playing the game, the ambient noises fit perfectly with the music and the difficulty scaled pretty well. Thanks for making :)
Certainly an engaging game with a "one more go" aspect to it, I found myself crying in frustration when I miss timed a jump, but it's a mark of a good game that it's able to evoke such engagement. An escape menu and the ability to mute would have made for a slightly easier user experience, something you'll definitely need to consider for the next Jam! :)
Nice feeling of the jump and we all know that is not that easy.
Good mastery of the pacing and onboarding. I quited though because there was no checkpoint and it's sooo frustrating to play again everything from the beginning.
@masterzenith our gameplay is based on sacrifice, you sacrifice your life/energy to use your abilities, and you've to sacrifice an ability to take a new one ;)

Really like the simplistic art style!

Other than that, pretty decent!
