Very nice idea and quite fun!
I love the fact the character slows down when it has less power stored. I found I generally wait until the last second to zap the slimes, because otherwise they are too far to pick up the power they drop, which made things a bit difficult.
Maybe the auto-pickup could work regardless of distance, but the lesser power you have stored, the slower the power pickups come to you (which would still create the incentive to move away from the tower).
I think there's something there that you could really expand on with some tweaking and more bricks, like having multiple towers, recharge towers (towers that recharge the player, or other towers), AoE damage, etc. Same with the slimes, you could have slimes that discharge power from you/towers, slimes that deal more damage if they are more charged, etc.
Really keen to see more of this!
