Fun idea :) The platforming was pretty loose and I never felt challenged even as my powers reduced. Getting hurt jumping on the robo caterpillar\/dog thingies was weird.

Levels were pretty short and kinda bland in terms of design and challenge though. I never felt much of an impact from the downgrade in power. Since the game is short, instead of losing a single point between levels perhaps loosing all points in an area would've been more interesting. Anyway, congrats on finishing your first LD. The first one is usually the hardest but it's never easy to make a game in 48h. I hope you'll partake in more!

It seemed though that there's little benefit to killing enemies (perhaps a higher score?) and more inclination to quickly complete the levels. W didn't work for me as well. The platforming could be made a bit smoother, as the stomp works occasionally, and controls feel a little floaty. A lot of blind jumps into enemies and the sensitive camera zooming out can be a bit disorienting. Leaderboards doesn't seem to work and the score doesn't seem to reset at 0 upon a game over. Anyway, commendable job making a game in 48h!","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"jelch","author_uid":"1007158","time":"2017-08-11T16:04:57Z","epoch":1502467497,"modified":1502467497,"text":"I liked to concept, but it was too easy.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"ZYXer","author_uid":"1003700","time":"2017-08-16T22:48:18Z","epoch":1502923698,"modified":1502923698,"text":"Funny story for your game! :) The take on the theme is funny too, but when I played the game, I didn't have the feeling that I was running out of \"power\", it felt more like a regular health bar. It would have been cool if running\/jumping and shooting would use power, but the hero was otherwise invinsible.\n\nOtherwise the controls felt good, the graphics are a bit simple but worked well together. A scrolling background would have been nice.

Liked the way you had to decide how you would lose more abilities each level, just wish it had more of an impact cause at times it didn't seem obvious enough how it was impacting me. The short levels where a good thing in that it gave instant feedback to how I was going. I did notice that the leaderboard just kept saying loading for me at the end but never showed anything.
