Created By David McDonald for Ludum Dare 39 Play as a disgruntled employee as you venture down into the basement of your workplace to fix the POWER, when you arrive you notice these creatures coming from the pipework, are they the ones destroying the power?

MOVEMENT = WASD JUMP/DOUBLE JUMP = Space

There is no read ending to this game as i couldn't compete the full 48 hours, i focused mainly on my first pixel art. Have a quick play :)

I can't get up from the bottom!The jumping is a little bit odd for me...
But I like how the game looks:)

Am I... am I setting lightbulbs on fire? :laughing:

I think double jumping feels a bit odd because you are adding a velocity to existing velocity, rather than zeroing it before doing a double jump? It seems like it works if you double jump 'on the way up', but doesn't if you are 'on the way down' in the jumping arc

I really like the pixel art in this game. The controls are a bit weird, the double jump needs work (like @mrnyarlathotep said, the velocity should be set to 0 before the double jump to make it consistent) and the collision is a little wonky (I found it very hard to jump on the enemies).

For 48 hours, definitely a solid entry! Great work!
