Power Surge by Some Nerd
Avoid thieves and collect batteries to restore the laboratory's power while your light slowly fades.

NOTE______________________________ You can kill the white thieves while they have stolen batteries.
A black gate marked with a number needs that many batteries to pass through.
You can shoot fireballs.

And why is the game made in the Jam? It looks like only one Person worked at it, nothing bad but also not impressive.
One problem I see is that "buttons" that open the doors are almost identical to the doors, so is hard to identify what is what.
Also, there isn't any way to die in this game, what on the other hand is good because it will be horrible to start again a the labyrinth.

Likes:
- the key and battery collection mechanics are a really cool progression method
- the ghosts that steal you batteries really drive me crazy (in a good way)
- I loved the lamp oil as a secondary resource, that's cool.
- I liked that you only get pushed to some kind of pseudo-safepoint when you got hit. really user-friendly
Try differently:
- a hint of sound and hit feedback would help
- I didn't realize I could shoot the fireballs until loooong into the game.
Overall:
- really decent gamemaker game (I :heart: GameMaker).
- the badger is a cool character
But seriously, nice game! Fighting enemies was kinda annoying given how fidgety aiming was, but because you couldn't die it evened out rather nicely. Only other thing I'd change is that the backtracking was also kinda tedious over time, and so either changing the level design to account for this or adding a sprint feature would help immensely.
