Gorgeous game, love the lighting and effects, nicely fits the style!
Gameplay feels smooth, satisfying, punchy.
Excellent game, thank you for making it, I had a lot of fun!
Do you have plans to continue working on after voting?
Battery Man gotta be one of my new favourite playable mascots! Can't wait for Battery City 2: Electric Boogaloo
Haha, so glad you like him! Thanks for playing :)
This was a fun game - I found it a little challenging for me though, I felt like I needed a moment longer to pick up the charges after clearing a wave of enemies, they just didn't seem to stop hah. But there is a nice amount of polish on this game too, the models are seriously cool, the animations too. There's a nice style and atmosphere to the map too, lots of character. Well done, I hope this gets a few more views
Thanks so much for playing! I totally agree I think mob density is definitely too high as it feels a little relentless. Glad you enjoyed the art :)!
Controls:
Goal:
Find all 6 city defense turrets and power them back on to save the city (they are located at the end of each street)
Story:
You play as Battery Man. Evil alien lightbulbs have descended upon Battery City. Deploy the cities' defense and save the city.
love the art! very satisfying to clear out a bunch of brains too
We tried really hard to make it feel good clearing out the aliens!!! Happy to hear you liked the art as well!
pretty fun, surprisingly large map
the dash is great
Glad you had fun :)!
Cute game, I really enjoyed the animations and music. The battery smoking a cigarette is hilarious. I think including the controls in game itself would have been helpful for me, even after reading them I forgot I had a dash while playing. Great work.
Thanks so much for playing!
This game was really fun and had a lot of unique ideas, like having the health of the enemies not be something that depletes but instead something that you have to charge up to kill them. It deserves more love!
Thanks for playing and happy to hear you that you enjoyed it :)
The core gameplay is very fun, theres a very visceral feeling to the little brains lighting up and exploding. Their models also remind me of The Maw (in a good way), if you've ever heard of that game.
Also that's one f*cking cool battery.
So glad you enjoyed it!
Sound effects + visuals are great!
I like Battery Man's smokes
