Unity<em>2017-07-31</em>16-56-03.png In the futuristic city of Plugopolis, every house runs off a battery, but those batteries need recharging from the power grid. You play as ARA (Automated Relay Assistant), a cute robot whose sole purpose is to connect people to the power grid so they can charge their batteries.

Love the graphics and the music, although I found it a little bit difficult to play (a lot of batteries tu fill for first level! ) .

Graphically pleasing, the UI elements are a little pixelated, but nothing too jarring. An enjoyable game given the theme and time crunch!

Great game. Graphics are neat, but the it is near impossible to satisfy all these tenants! Maybe they should get another robot to assist.

I think this has potential to become a really fun game if you expanded upon it! Maybe I did something different than everyone else, but I actually thought that the game could be a little harder? After the first wave of near-empty tenants, it ended up becoming pretty easy to just go around and top everyone up before they get low. I got to around 4500 points and stopped as there was no end in sight (Although for me to still keep playing for quite a while after the difficulty had gotten trivial is a testament to how addicting the core gameplay can be!). I was thinking if you were to add something you could have it so once the plugs are empty, you would have to take it back to the power grid from the tenant to recharge and reuse.

I dunno, food for thought. Good job!

The background looks very good! Really liked the parallax effect. Overall the graphics and animations are very well polished.
I think the game was kind of easy, after some time the batteries took a long time to lose their power.
One time I had a Game Over screen, but I couldn't restart the game, it got stuck there.

For @mateusmp and future players, that bug was fixed but cloudflare didn't like serving up to date content.

Graphics and animations are gorgeous!! Although after getting through the first wave of dissatisfied tenants, it appeared like I could go on forever. Possibly add something that causes tenants to use power faster? Great entry! CIGDA represent!!

Great stuff! At first blush it really reminded me of elevator action which is never a bad thing. I really enjoy the gameplay design and character artwork! Great job guys!

The game has simple mechanism, but the idea was very well executed. Great graphics and nice sound effect.

Nice art and animations! Pretty good feeling of quick moves!
Is there an end? I don't had the courage to continue plugging in indefinitely...

Cool game, graphics are cute, music is hectic, sounds are good, but this game is way too easy ! And the battery does not loose power at all ... That's too bad :/ I think you can keep working on it and it will became a good game. Well done nonetheless for the graphics and the sounds :)

Well done! Quite frantic!
Good a hand over the platforming after a while!
It would be cool to slowly expand the play area to have some progression but apart from that really well executed!

Also it looks really nice!

Great engaging music and fun graphics (nice job on animating the robot). Very well polished play. I was engaged for a while then it felt like i could easily handle the request and got bored.

Pretty fun! Frantic, gameplay. Kinda neat to prioritize different doors that have been down the longest. I think i hit a bug where the doors stopped draining, so I had all the doors charged fully at a certain point.
