Low Voltage by Turrus

[raw]
made by Turrus for LD 39 (COMPO)

A game where you control a Battery trying to reach their dog SPARK! To do this you must jump from platform to platform without falling into the water. To do this you must carefully manage your power so that you don't fall short or over shoot. The map is 70m long but it is very hard (I've only beaten it once) so it will be a good challenge for you. In the comments please do give me feedback and also say what your best score is!

programs I used: -Unity 2017.1.0f3 -Blender 3D (3D models) -Paint.net (Textures and sprites) -Bfxr (Sound effects)

This is my second ld and I think I can see an improvement from my first (37). I'm looking forward to the feedback!

Thanks for looking! Turrus

25m only! Love the character and the animation. The air control seemed to me to be the hard part, more so than the power control - felt like I could pirouette in the air if I wasn't really careful with the controls.

This is pretty cool! I like the idea and how you used the theme as a design focus for the environment. Spark is the greatest silly looking thing ever. I'd adopt him.

I think the game is unnecessary hard because of how the camera works. It is very(!) difficult to judge where you are going/jumping the way it works now. The rotation of the main character is also hard to see. In my personal opinion I think it adds nothing to the game, it just seems to be an unnecessary burden. I could imagine that if the camera rotated with the character, so that you always watch it from behind, I'd had even more fun.

The graphics are cute, the gameplay is fun (But really hard, cause of the camera and the rotation), the theme is respected, but the audio is too loud and i really don't like it. Had to mute the game. Liked it in the overall

That's a really cute battery! I only reached the 4th platform, but it was fun to play. The only thing a bit frustrating was moving left or right while in the air.

I made it to 55m! I think the style is very cute! The games feels at its best when you are going fast and you are just barely making jumps, I think starting the player at may 15 or 20 power would keep a better flow as consecutive attempts are made. Good submission!

It was a good game but, I found it kind of difficult to turn on some jumps it might of just been me though

Cute game with a nice and simple mechanic. It is a difficult game, but the controls feel good and responsive so it's ok. Would add some background music
