About:
POWERFLIGHT is a 2D top-down space shooter where you play as a spaceship that uses its power as only resource: health, weapon usage and upgrades.
This project was created for Kenney Game Jam 2025 theme POWER. The idea was to create a game that uses spaceship energy for literally everything. Power is used as player health, ship level currency (could not make actual selection for upgrades, power units would have been used as currency for that too), some weapons use energy on use (only added 2 weapons and one uses power). Player can refill power by destroying objects and absorbing their energy.

The game is okay for me. The controls are smooth and the multiple attacks look interesting. I like the ways different enemies move, too, it give nuances for the characters.
However, there are a few things i need to point out.
1/ The game pacing is really slow, and then become very fast (when enemies go out), which can confused the player. This also lead to a frustrating death (due to how it takes a long while to get to that point)
Overall, good game. 6.5/10
Thank you for your feedback.
Yeah, I know issue with pacing, it is more of a RNG, you can get more energy drops sometimes which snowballs your power very fast and it becomes much easier in later waves. I just had no more time to balance everything the way I wanted.
