Sweet jams!!! I like how quickly you have to get to the batteries, reminds me of flying a drone getting it to do something neat and then.... the battery dies

Very nice game! The music was awesome and the art was great in how your avatar changes when you have less power. The mood was great, and the mood was perfect! The only thing I can really complain about is the jumping, which I found very slow . But other than that, this is great!

This game is a perfect example of a good game jam game! Simple, fun, low scope, easy to understand. It's not very innovative, but all games don't have to be that! The graphics are cute, music and sounds are awesome (and it even has different music for the different levels!). Well done sir/madam :)

This is a very nice game! The retro graphics are great and the platforming was sharp. But the highlight for me was the sound track. Its so good, the music for all the levels is incredible and made the overall experience amazing! I think my only issue is that the character should have moved faster. (I totally understand how that would disrupt the levels, but I'm just not a huge fan of the tank controls.

I finish your game (not in hard mode,it would be insane !) : it's a great 2D platformer, level design is really good. Also, I really love your music and sound effects, its fit perfectly for your game. Well done !

Nice game, but it's a tad bit buggy. Music was really good, and this game reminded me of a Mega Man game a bit(partly because of the name). Also, I think you should get rid of the humor and mood categories for your game.

Great game, the musics are really cool! The difficulty is also great, some part took me several attempts.

Oh my god, you did an amazing job on sound effects and music
Controls felt a little too tight, and on some platforms did not have good cycles when you restart on the checkpoint (meaning that you'll have to wait for them instead of timing your jumps)
I like this game =)

Very good job, I had me playing till the end. I get the feeling of old NES games Battery Man was as difficult as they were but thanks to forgiving mode I had no fear of dying and kept trying again and again till the end :0)
