Full Power to Shields!
My submission to Kenney Jam 2025 (theme "Power").
Bonus challenge: Mouse only ("Your game should be fully controlled using only the mouse")
Controls:
- Left-click (Mobile: Tap) on a system to increase power. You must have reactor power available.
- Right-click (Mobile: Long-press) on a system to decrease power and return the power to the reactor.

nice game,
I think this game have a nice upgrade system.
Very cool game! Despite being a simple game, it has a lot of nuances to the choice of the player at the start!
I love how there is a travel part where it's more about defensive than offensive. That gives the player choices a lot more weight than jump dump all points into attack!
There are a few drawback I want to mention:
1. The choices only matter at the start. In the latter part of the game, the enemy doesn't scale good enough with the player.
2. The travel part also doesn't pose enough danger later on, when you have at least.
Overall, I enjoy it really much! 7/10!
Thank you so much for playing and for your candid feedback! I think you're 100% right, the balancing does not quite work, it gets too easy later on. I may revisit this later to fix that and perhaps add some more content.
Nice! Would have liked being able to shoot, it felt a bit too auto-pilot for my taste.
The SFX could be a bit lower volume and have a pitch randomization.
Great feedback, thank you for playing!
woo made it to the end!
very ftl-like.
Thank you for playing! Still a bit WIP, deadline is in 7 hours ... And yes, you could say this is "lightly inspired" by FTL 😅
