Simple 2D platformer with a robot! Use your slowly draining energy to defeat enemies and power machines!

Careful on the last stage if u walk left and fall off it can take a while to restart sry! If you play the windows version i suggest windowed mode!

Looks nice. Several levels, nice animations, and the zapper looks like cool touch. The puzzles are interesting.

Fun to play, but I wish there was something like a reset button. Although I suppose shooting a beam of lightning into the sky to kill yourself faster works too, lol

Very cute! Nothing too ambitious and you pulled it off well. Sound effects were a little harsh on my ears, but nothing too problematic. Nice work!

Solid and Completed game!
It's fun but a little bit too straight forward, I just charge the station in front of me and walk forward
if there are more feature, that will be more fun! (for example, the electric current can bounce and reduce power and there are some machines that can't take straight shoot current power then you need to find a way to bounce your current and charge it!)

Nice game with some interesting mechanics. Only thing I would change is the position of the power meter; it is very small and far away from the character - it actually took me some time before I noticed it!

I managed to complete the game, and I had fun. Very well done :)

Nice entry, wish there were more levels though. The game felt a little too easy, but perhaps that was the idea behind it. Anyway solid entry.

I liked the experience. I really liked the puzzle part where if you overcharged the battery you got through the door, but the platform doesn't extend in time for you to make it to the portal to the next level. I liked the drain beam also.

Suggestions:
- Get rid of the pit in the last level with the guy at the bottom. You fall into it and you can't get back out and have to wait for energy to run out. At that point you have a ton of it, so the wait is long and frustrating. Maybe replace it with something that i hard to get out of and makes you try the jump again instead?

Bugs:
-When you try to jump on an elevator going down it doesn't work. Probably because the game thinks you are falling and you aren't on the ground to jump. This isn't an easy fix, but it would make it feel more polished.
