wow simple but interesting time killer. Scored 218. In the beginning it is too easy but later diffculty grows rapidly and even charger cant fill the battery. Nice graphics and decent overall experience, Good entry. Rate my game pls too

The game is super cute, and I like it, but the longer I went on the more impossible it felt to lose.

When I decided to stop playing I would be vibing almost constantly around 90% battery. Adding challenge would do a lot for it.

A good way to add challenge would be for the tables to reset, and block a passage, for energy to respawn slower. I think a cute way to add life to it would be for NPCs to use an outlet, blocking your use.

Still, it's very good for something made so fast!

I like the idea! The draining battery fits the theme well, and the art is cute.

Solid entry, the gameplay loop seems to just run to outlets in a circle as they go out. It would be more interesting if they were randomized or would go out randomly to incentivize collecting the tokens.

I loved the game, at the beginning it was: "Oh, that's easy, there's nothing to do" And at the end: "Noooo, my battery runs out so fast". Very funny ^_^

Pretty cool game! I just wish there was a little alarm or something when you change the level, so it would build some tension. But it was pretty fun, good job!

Interesting idea based on a major threat for our current society!
As the game goes on it feels like it gets easier to stay alive, I think a few changes to make the game more difficult would be really good to this one, such as a power outage for a few seconds or until you do some task or something along those lines.
