made by deadpixelmadclock for Ludum Dare 51 (JAM)

Power balance is a game where you play as Mimi, she has the amazing power of shooting balls from her hands and complete invulnerability! ...but only every 10 seconds. fight the evildoer and win! or lose and get really mad for a second.

there isn't as much as I wanted but I ran out of time. :/

Such a cute and fun game! Quite difficult - but I was so engaged with the play, I couldn't give up! I finally won, and got to dance along that wonderful music.

Once you get a handle on your character's movement, and the bosse's 'attack types' - it is very doable - but still challenging - game of cat and mouse. Swapping between frantic falling-to-dodge and then climbing-while-attacking made for a great rhythm of gameplay. The character's were very cute, and the visual and sound effects satisfying and crisp.

Wonderful job!

It's basically a turn-based action game. Some of the boss attacks are very difficult to dodge, but if you finally recognize the pattern, you will know how to dodge it and it becomes a platformer game.

I tried to beat the game several times, it was fun, but I didn't get hooked. And then when I was about to give up I heard a baby cry on the losing screen. The game was mocking me!
Needless to say, I got angry and griended it till i won (took 16 attempt). Surprisingly fun and challenging game. Great submission!

The graphics are really cute! Sound works great! Controls feel a little weird but all in all works great!

Cool idea about swapping the roles, I did eventually beat the game :)

Really like the idea of 10-sec dodge, then 10-sec kill. The movement and combat mechanics do required some amount of time to learn. IMO it would be far better if you could introduce the mechanic with some easier battles, then the boss fight in the end. Anyway, this is a great entry that's worth a try.

I really liked the idea. The music is just awesome. It took me more than one try to win :)

➕ cool idea about changing the gameplay on the fly

➕ interesting difficulty

➖ target movement pattern does not change when you attack

➖ slightly awkward jumps

Superfun game! Loved the idea, and it was very cool to switch from feeling like prey to becoming the predator every now and then. Loved the rage-quit function! Good job :)
