One week ago it was my 5th participation to Ludum Dare, 3rd time in Compo (I've also made it twice with a friend, and I participate with a big team at the Global Game Jam).

Like always I give me one objective : Learn something new, try something new ! This time, after discovering the theme, I choose to make a mobile game (first mobile game). I use processing in all my LD games, and I know Processing Android exist (I've already try it to adapt one of my previous LD game).

The idea for creating a mobile game come from my idea for this theme to interact with the battery of the phone. And to build the game around that.

One of my first idea was to let the player do input by plug and unplug the charger and use that as a mecanic for enigma or writing morse code thanks to that. But I was afraid that will break the phone plug charger.

So at the end I choose to make the game where one of the difficulty level will be determine by the level of the battery ! If you want to check it out it's here :
