Rolling out of power! by Willbl3pic
Made with Unity, The GIMP, beepbox.co, and bfxr.
You control an electronic sphere, rolling along. You need to keep your power up, or you lose!
There is a bug where if you restart, you must refresh the page - otherwise, you will instantly die.

The movement is a bit simplistic though, having the ball behave more like a ball that rolls around might have given it a better feel.
Enjoyed the tron-like feel.
- fun graphics
- title music put a smile on my face
- solid gameplay foundation
What doesn't work as well:
- the music seemed to speed up every time you gained a point which meant it quickly reached the speed limit. IMO it would have worked better if the music speed percent was equal to the percent power left
- there are so many pickups in the level that avoiding all of the bad ones is impossible, which feels like an unfair punishment for moving quickly
I just wish that the purple obstacles that you needed to avoid were a bit more distinct colour and something with a lot of contrast to the other colours so that you don't accidentally run into a bunch of purple blocks.
Still I enjoyed playing the game but having a leaderboard would make it even more fun. It is an easy way to improve your games especially with a tool like dreamlo.com
EDIT:
I just realized I were supposed to avoid the red blocks and not the purple ones haha. Maybe using a different shape for the red blocks could help because I forgot which ones to avoid.
Good job
Good job
