Bottled Lightning by jostly

made by jostly for LD 39 (COMPO)

The battery factory is busy busy busy during the heavy thunderstorm. Gotta catch all those gigawatts!

Deliver the batteries through the different stages of the pipeline, so they end up on the cargo train.

But the main generator is busted, so don't forget to regularly replace the battery in the backup generator in the basement, or all the lights will go out.

Good idea and execution but I believe the game requires two players to play successfully.

Wow that's tricky! Nice concept though, perhaps could do with the frequency of batteries being more spread out right at the start, so you can get the first one charged, packaged and generally figure out what the hell you're doing! I'm sure people who are more used to controlling games on a keyboard will do better though...

The game could use some improvement. First of all, the difficulty of the game is extremely hard. Second, the game was confusing and I didn't really get what to do. One concept that I did like about the game though is that I could tell it was a unique and innovative concept. In conclusion, when making a game around a unique concept for Ludum Dare, developers should get one or more people to playtest the game to see if they can understand what to do and if the game is too hard.

If this game is your first Ludum Dare entry, nice job :)
