Very strange game. Liked the music. Didn't know at first when to press the letter but got the hang of it eventually.

jekstrom 2017-08-01 02:50

Took me a bit to get the hang of the controls. Fun and funny game.

"don’t think about what you are playing." oh god...

martintristan 2017-08-01 04:06

pretty cool concept! i was confused by the controls at first but this can be a very addicting game!

zchen 2017-08-01 04:13

Interesting entry! I struggled awhile to figure out how to control the game. I like the abstract yet suggestive nature of the game. Good job :thumbsup:

zaygellard 2017-08-01 06:47

The controls are kinda a mystery. Needs a bit more explanation, but lots of fun and challenging overall.

boxfort 2017-08-01 09:21

Who knew a game about batteries could be so lewd. Fun gameplay, would make a good mobile game!

mango-malarkey 2017-08-01 10:09

Hmm, not sure if I appreciate the theme of this game..

Anyways, the tutorial could use some work, but I got the hang of it eventually. However, I never got very far because I found it very hard to see the polarity of the batteries, maybe this could be made clearer. Otherwise I really like the look of the game.

Well done!

toulou 2017-08-01 10:59

Daaaaamn this is hot... And hard ! This is a great concept and a fun game, really weird but addictive. Like the others, I think a better tutorial would be great to understand the mechanisms, or maybe a training mode. But aside from that, it's a great game. Good job (y)

azziliz 2017-08-01 12:48

Beautiful graphics and audio but a bit too hard for my taste.

I'd like to see the learning phase (first penetrations, first baby kills) ~30% slower. It's ok if it speeds up afterwards.

joemag 2017-08-01 19:48

This was a lot of fun, very addicting getting the hang of all the different movements. Sometimes there's not enough time to really get a look at the battery to know if it's positive or negative. I do like that you can't just mash the button or your battery will.... erupt. But yeah, very different and fun.

geckoo1337 2017-08-01 21:44

Really hard concept which needs skill so as to do a good score - and I am very bad. The main gameplay is not usual, but it works great. Sounds add some weird atmosphere. Addictive and well done. I had fun playing it. Thumbs up ++

junjunlowpoly 2017-08-02 01:34

Simple mechanism but quite addictive. I think much of it is because of the great graphics and audio. Interesting game. But I'm not going to comment on what the game is about.

acoto87 2017-08-02 03:16

Nice game, the mechanics are simple yet it's hard to get far without any mistake. Good job!

matfernandestt 2017-08-02 04:52

This game is extremely addictive and sucked me in for about an hour, just to get my name in the ranking. Great job, amazing game!

oboshape 2017-08-02 09:19

once i got my old head round what I was doing it was fine. nice little game there, had to keep trying for a good while just to get that bit further.. if you ever come back to it, it wouldnt be out of place on mobile ;)

mathiouza 2017-08-02 09:39

Cool little game. Graphics are simple but ok, music is well done even if I had the volume to the maximum x) The gameplay is well though. Good game !

johngun 2017-08-02 09:46

Really challenging and a nice take on the theme. It takes some time to master. Great work

maggardjosh 2017-08-02 22:48

Interesting game, wasn't sure what to do with the baby batteries at first. Very challenging, fun game. Good job!

torcado 2017-08-02 23:02

very very fun! i never expected myself to be playing for as long as i did. the leaderboards were very enticing haha. I didn't entirely understand what changes how many times you need to tap the button to fill the battery, so i never got far past the start of that. also i liked the music/sounds, but theres a terrible, high pitched screech that plays every time you restart, so i had to mute the game. otherwise i really enjoyed it! nice graphics, polished gameplay, good job :grin:

deanard 2017-08-03 03:17

Really interesting game, however i found my self very lost at times as to why I had lost, could use some polish and improved player feedback but otherwise very fun to play

ace17 2017-08-03 05:13

Holy cow, this is hard as hell... I retried at least 20 times before quitting, though ; the fact that you loose quickly makes it easy to retry, like "ok I understood, THIS time I'm not going to screw up".

The 3D graphics are cool and smooth, although this game doesn't have "game feel" (by the definition of the eponymous book), it feels damn responsive.

IMHO the sexual references don't bring a lot to this game, and might even be a little detrimental.

peter-sheehan 2017-08-03 06:16

Oh my god, this is pretty friggin' heavy! Those heavy synthy beats at the start set a friggin' dark tone for it, and those batteries... penetrating? each other already make me feel uneasy. But then I started playing, and I actually started... liking it? lol. This is actually pretty fun and quirky (if not a little immature :P). Kind of reminds me of a WarioWare microgame. Ok, I'm gonna stop writing this review and get back to playing it, good job!

mrerdalural 2017-08-03 12:13

Hahaha! After this game I will never be able to look at the batteries the same!

Good job! Thank you for the game!

iseeicy 2017-08-04 00:21

LOL THIS GAME

I can't even begin to imagine how you interpreted the theme like this but GG none the less!

ogma 2017-08-04 02:44

1200 Points! o/ I have to admit I had a hard time doing anything on the second phase of the game at first, but that's just training.^^

Original & Funny take on the theme. The sounds are great. The controls are correct. I really like the art direction, sober but pretty.

I played the web version on NewGrounds and had no problem. The game was smooth, no bug caught.

It reminds me of games like Hexagon : fun, quick to play, dynamic gameplay, a bit frustrating but not too little or too much, the kind of frustration that makes you go "oh well, I'll beat my score this time!".

Good Job! :)

novotmike 2017-08-05 09:41

Your take on the theme is so original! It was quite simple concept but very well executed. Nice graphics, cool puns and good music - what more could you want.

poffle 2017-08-05 12:30

This was really hard, had to really concentrate haha. Hardest part was only hitting the key seven times. It was fun though and it looks and sounds great. Lots of polish throughout. Great job!

dob 2017-08-05 15:18

I feel . . . dirty, somehow. :-) Took me several plays to even figure out what I was doing, or why I was dying, which I did in several different ways. So, clearer instructions would help. I was bad at it - only got one battery baby in about 20 plays and didn't understand why or what to do. Visually very crisp, and the sound and music were great. Nice work.

2017-08-05 16:23

Really clever game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 39 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJb17RPmbsA

easy82 2017-08-05 21:46

Excellent one! :D Rated M for mature. I love the humor, the style and the simplicity of it. One thing was really difficult for me, sometimes I didn't see if a positive or negative charge is coming next... making the signs bigger or painting it red would solve this. Very well done! :)

xykvy 2017-08-05 21:47

I really liked the graphics.

cenullum 2017-08-06 06:43

Dude awesome gui,models,sound . You are good at design :)

cursetats 2017-08-06 09:57

Game's content was really good, Graphics were really cool. Need something more in the core gameplay and mechanics Else, Liked the game Cool

saintheiser 2017-08-06 12:22

Good one! Love the mix arcade and puzzle. Hard to understand rules, will be better if game has small tututorial where user learn basic rules without timer.

drag0mir 2017-08-06 14:19

like this. Hard! good sound, very good art, best idea!

goloso-games 2017-08-06 20:16

Great models, graphics are really cool. Thanks for the tutorial or I would never understand :) I really like the game mechanics, pretty innovative.

bombjack 2017-08-07 20:21

Simple concept but very fun! nice game!

n-feofentov 2017-08-08 11:38

Very creative idea. I find it very challenging, especially looking at leader board. However, it's really cool.

bazoo 2017-08-09 11:52

It took me a while to fully understand how to play the game, even with the tutorial, although it was fun once I understood. Consider having a way to watch the tutorial again, like a button in the menu. Funny concept. Who doesn't want to F some batteries? Love the 3D models and the music. I rekt those batteries and killed those babies, muahaha! Got 3rd on the score board :D

martyxgames 2017-08-09 15:07

Nice game, this is actually fun!

martyxgames 2017-08-09 15:12

xD I got it now, its like the batteries are having s*x

schu 2017-08-09 15:44

Once I got the hang of it it was a pretty cool game. I liked how difficult it is but I'm pretty disappointed the leaderboards weren't working otherwise I would've kept playing to try to get on there.

rakowu 2017-08-10 19:47

It is fun. But the controls shouldn't be across the keyboard rather than on one side. I like the animation and design :) Good job.

jotson 2017-08-10 23:33

Interesting idea but way too hard. Not sure what the point of switching the controls is every round unless it's supposed to be some kind of typing game?

cttfow 2017-08-11 09:48

Ha, what a concept. The general look and the sounds work very well, the gameplay is smooth even though a little difficult to understand at first. I do wonder where you got the idea from, haha...

codechomper 2017-08-11 18:38

I Recently played your game during a live stream at your request. [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEKsM8vugRs) .

The Humor was great and the game play was simple but challenging. I would have liked an audio cue when I was done transferring my juice to my mate (maybe an "Ahhhh"). Good entry, thanks for making me laugh!

if you haven't already please give my game a try [Zombie Power Station](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/zombie-power-station) HTML5 Thanks

theflyingkeyboard 2017-08-13 20:45

Really creative game, but needs polishing. I think it is a bit too hard to play, but it is still very fun. Great Job!

josehzz 2017-08-14 17:19

An interesting mechanic, I found it hard at first. The music/sounds and graphical effects gives a great mood, well done

xaedes 2017-08-16 20:31

Lol, that was like the funniest unexpected game explanation ever. Nice game!

belga54 2017-08-17 02:46

Really great idea and good gameplay and concept. I liked the graphics. Was so fun to play, I tried a few times but I cant get over 400 score. I'm really bad at typing games !

shaolin-dave 2017-08-17 05:39

Couldn't really get past the first two batteries, 200 points no matter what I do.

zzq 2017-08-21 22:25

Graphics and sounds are great but it's too hard for my reaction. Anyway good job!
