Well done!
-Nice graphics, really pleasant to watch
-Simple but climatic music
-Quite a few different mechanics (loved how destroying some TNT's was actually a bad idea)
-Background as some kind of timer (cool!)
Cons:
-Repairing power generators took a bit too long, which is slowing down gameplay
Really solid entry, I had fun playing the game. Good job!
I dont understand what ends the game, I dont think i died. The power stations seem just added for the sake of the theme tbh. Nevertheless a fun game :)
Sometimes the game seems to be a little unfair, when I choose the wrong path, because I wasn't able to see the correct one and so had no option to do it right the first time.
The mechanics were fun and simple enough, so I felt like I was playing a game like Runner or Canabalt, with a very cute aesthetic. The character and zombies looked great, and the puzzle elements were refreshing.
Those puzzle elements, though, felt unfair at times. Some indications like signs that tell you where it's safe to fall off a pit would be appreciated, since otherwise, it felt like a cheap shot. Same with some parts with the dynamite, but other than that, I felt like the dynamite was a stroke of genius.
I really would like to see how a game like this gets updated. With fixed and mroe convenient puzzle mechanics, it could become a very good mobile game.
Well, that's that. While I'm here, if you have the time, [we would like you to take a look at our game](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/joulethief-charge-your-phone). Anyhow, good job once again. I really enjoyed Blackout, and I hope that you get to enjoy the rest of the jam! :whale:
