Power House by Cooltrain

[raw]
made by Cooltrain for LD 39 (JAM)

About

Power House is a game about driving around small cities on tracks, chasing down, and destroying them to be scrapped for your own benefit. It was my personal first LD and was joined by a friend for it. It was tricky as we spent the first day trying to create a generator for random buildings… it didn’t go well, so we were a little rushed for time, and as such no sound is present. It’s a little rough around the edges but overall, I think it turned out ok. Enjoy.

**Pros:**
- The game is quite fluid , movement feels good and the shaking from attacking gives a sense of power.
- The concept is a interesting one, basic but a clever one.
- Although most of the art is simple and basic it all fits together nicely and doesn't take away from the game-play at all and complements it well.

**Cons:**
- Often buildings would end up on 0 Scrap so there would be no point in killing them as you would be at a net loss of scrap , however you have to or they bump you to death.This leaves you with no scrap and then the next building along kills you.
- No Audio this was probably due to time limitation so I understand but it would be nice to have it included

**Conclusion:**
The game is basic but a lot of fun and with a few tweaks and adjustments it would be even better! Overall a good job well done~
