Power Surge by timothyolt
Power Surge is a 2D platformer game created by Bytefire Games. In Power Surge, you are in charge of a moon base that creates robots, rovers, and weapons. You must use these creations to attack and steal power from an adjacent moon base. The challenge is in that each robot only has ten seconds of power, so you must make the most of each robot.
Contols:
WASD/Arrow Keys to move your robot
Hold left-mouse to aim/shoot
Z to spawn ally light robots
X to spawn ally heavy robots
To win shoot at the enemy base enough times to cause a power surge.
Note: it is going to take multiple lives to destroy it.
Other info: normal blasters do 1 damage, heavy blaster do 2 damage.
Light robots have 3 health while the heavies have 4.
Bases have 50 health.
The team power system is what is used to spawn robots, plus there is a small cooldown on spawning your own robots (and a max of 5 at a time). To spawn multiple robots hold the appropriate key.

Games that let players be an expendable common soldier are awesome, and there aren't that many of them around.
I didn't understand the rules of this game very much, but apparently I won after shooting at the enemy base long enough.. A little disappointed I didn't get to be one of the big robots. >:[
The graphics fit well together.
Some obstales or similar would have made the jump usable.
