How does your game represent "Power"?
During the dry winter time here where I live, I get shocked by static electricity often. I decided to focus on that as a game mechanic. In this game you must move close to enemies and their projectiles to charge up static electricity. Once charged up, you can lock on to enemies and zap them to do damage and destroy them. The longer you survive the harder the game gets and the higher the score value of enemies.
Please note that this game requires an X-Input compatible controller such as an Xbox One controller to play.

Wasn't able to play it with my PS4 dualshock, but I really like the premise. Perhaps next time the mouse would be more of a suitable substitute/option than the right stick of a controller?
Thank you for trying! I agree with you 100% that keyboard and mouse should be an option. I am disappointed that I wasn't able to implement good keyboard and mouse controls before the deadline. It will be something I add if I develop this game further after the Game Jam.
This looks really cool but unfortunately I was not able to get any of my controllers to work with it :(
Thank you for trying! I regret I was not able to test controller compatibility beyond a standard Xbox One controller. I am working on a patch that will improve compatibility with DualShock 4 and Switch Pro controllers, but that will only be available after the Game Jam is complete as I cannot currently make any changes to the upload. Again, thank you for the comment and I appreciate you giving it a try!
Super solid game! I think the thing I wanted most was more impact to my static shocks. They didn't feel powerful.
Thank you for giving it a try! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I do agree the zap isn't quite powerful enough aesthetically. It could use a better visual effect and a better sound effect. If I continue to develop this game further after the Game Jam is complete, I will put this as a top priority to improve the effects. I appreciate your comment!
I love the music, and the game is very smooth and fun to play, i also liked the death animation
Thank you for giving it a try! I'm so happy you enjoyed it!
This game is so much fun! The mechanics are great and it makes me feel like I need to be in danger in order to stay alive. Definitely keeps me on edge while dodging and destroying. The music is perfect to keep the pace going and to keep you dancing while dodging. Salvorite did an incredible job with this! 10/10!
Wow, thank you for the glowing review! Thank you also for giving the game a try. I appreciate it!
