Battery Blitz by CeeJap

[raw]
made by CeeJap for LD 43 (COMPO)

Battery Blitz is a game about risk over reward. The faster you go, the more chaotic it gets, but a higher score awaits you. Will you sacrifice your safety for more score? Or play it safe and not overheat?

I like the simplicity of this, and the cute art and small resolution complement it really well! I wish you could walk diagonally though.

like the simplistic art and moody music.. the game was weird when I had same speed as flying batteries. Clicked the game cause I also used batteries concept for my game :)

Overwhelming at first, but fun when you get that hang of it. Good job!

@andrew-garcia The 4-direction movement was because it's way too hard to animate diagonal movement. Here's my failed attempt. Haha

Nice clean simple entry. Diagonal movement is missing for me.

Love how simple it is. It took me a while to understand why I needed the blue ones--they helped slow down the game. I had 724 points on my second try~

This is a cute little game! The theme got lost a bit for me, but it was still enjoyable. I don't know if I was just lucky or what, but I was safe when I wedged myself into the lower left corner. I got over 1200 points doing that, and could have gone longer if I had stepped out to manage my overheating at the end.

hey pico-8 friend! Nice game, I liked the idea of making the sacrifice your score. I was confused about whether there was a way to lose in the game, and as other said diagonal movement would have been nice (even without separate animations). The music was nice and I'm glad you put the directions right in the game. good luck!

@incobalt Didn't know you could do that until I tried! Thanks for the feedback.

Nice simple game! It got really hectic as I got more green batteries. I wish I moved just a tad faster than the batteries so I could catch them when I chased after them.
