Nice game! The battery is both "buff" and "debuff", switch over time, great idea!

I love how the battery is good for the most part but then bad when you need to do smaller jumps. I like it.

Pretty solid one. I've reached to a place where it's a mirrored L shape and i don't think i can jump over this, because i need 3 power blocks and they run out before i get there :/

@forK0 that was the end of the level.

Great mechanism where player needs to control the power level for appropriate jumping. Graphics is nice. The last part is hard for people who are bad at platformers (like me). It would be good to have a clear "you win" message, otherwise players tend to think they are stuck in the middle.

Really Good idea! Cool system with the battery!
Also, really good music!!

Know that I reached the end after I check the comment. if there is a clear ending, that will be much better!

I really liked the innovation, music, and overall feel of this game. Really clever take on high verses low energy. It's uncommon for "low energy" to ever be a good thing. Smart thinking!

I agree with the end of the level part, but overall I really like this entry!

Love the power level reference to how you can move in the game. Kind of addictive. Nice job.

A really funny game! Challenging to measure the power level to pass the areas.

This game has by far the best music I have yet seen in this competition. The art is simple, but paired with the music, it makes for a really great mood. The controls took a little getting used to, as I would normally expect to press W to jump instead of space, but once I got used to it, movement was very responsive. Some parts were a little frustrating, as the batteries simply wouldn't line up in a way that the player could reach them all in time - I would have to collect a battery and die in an attempt to align them, and this trial and error slightly detracted from the gameplay. That being said, this was overall an excellent entry with amazing music.

Good balance, challenging level design. I like this game! The first 2 jumps are the most hard I have to restart the game a couple of times to pass because it is too hard to turn back pick up energy and catch the moment when to jump on another platform. If you died at the very begining it is easier to restart game, rather than continue from savepoint.
Nevertheless the game is felt finished and balanced at all.

Great game! Most of the things that needed to be said have been already said by the people before me.

However, The game has the potential to have procedurally generated levels/paths which you may want to look into.
