LD39 — Running out of Power

Hydrocrypt by shru 2017-08-06T03:11:08Z

The game is a lot of fun! I also found that the timer disincentivizes killing enemies and exploring - in fact, there's really no incentive to killing enemies, which is a shame because it's the most fun part of the game. I really liked running out of time and having to survive in the dark! I think I would have preferred it if a key (or similar) was required to reach the boss, and finding the key required killing the (random?) enemy that was holding it - I think the idea of having to kill enemies in rooms to make it safer to backtrack through them could be really interesting. Great work! :smile:

I really love this game! It's super cool, great use of balance as a mechanic. One little thing I wasn't super keen on was the requirement of having a full power meter before being able to use the lightning chain – I thought this made the game a little bit too hard. Think the game is hard enough without that restraint, especially as the power meter is also your life meter – it also adds the extra challenge of deciding when to spend your life to attack.

@mindfungus: I'd also like to know what the winning strategies are! I didn't have time to play test it... I suspect it might be to play super defensively? :sweat_smile:
