This was really fun and kinda cartoonishly cute. Its always nice to have a game that quickly sets the stage with a short little story. The enemies felt very on point and super accurate to the times we live in today. As a bunch of technology addicted zombies that crave power to play on their smartphones. Etc.
I don’t have a lot of specific feedback for this one. It feels super solid and like a more or less complete game. The only thing I can think of would be to add some more variation in the enemy’s appearance. Like a crab walking/spider looking creature that used to be a power in a power chair could be fun.
I would say you should definitely expand this game a bit with more story and more levels. It’s got just the right amount of cartoonish humor, a fun zappy superhero, and simplistic graphics.
Great entry for ld39! Loved it! I love the different enemies, and having to conserve my power while dealing with them!
I had a lot of fun playing it! Nice job and good luck!
Hey there, I completed this game and it was harder than I thought, but I am pleased to add this to my Ludum Dare 39 collection. 5/5.
