Low Battery was originally a submission to a competition that I entered with a friend of mine. Unfortunately we didn't win but that was to be expected as we were up against every school in Australia and that includes VCE students with experience in game making. The game took awhile to complete, as my friend and I are known to procrastinate an awful lot. Please note you may find some minor glitches in the game.

Notes from Linkage

- Admittedly the controls are a bit much
- As for the glitches... this was my first game in Flash and, having previous programming experience in other languages, there were a number of things I had to get used to which made things a bit hard
- Also on glitches, most of them were found after the game was submitted for the competition, after which point I had no more interest in working on it- this was more or less due to a lack of playtesting on my part
- As for changing the channel more than once with a single charge, it's meant to be that way

Anyway, while that doesn't really make up for the glitches and so on, just thought I'd try and explain a bit.

No, not good.

An interesting concept, but not a very good game.

Erm

Too many controls, I couldnt even remember what to do, im lost. Maybe its just 1:30 in the morning :/. Idk I found it really confusing.

Glitches

The game seems like a great idea. It's fun and unique. Unfortunately it's filled with glitches, sometimes when i start a game there aren't any boxes, sometimes the boxes just won't go away. and i cna also change the channel more than once with a single charge. Although those aren't so bad, the worst is that i have yet to get past level 1, since every time i try it does a major disabling glitch that basically shoots you back to the front of the stage, or so it seems, and makes all the enemies fudge up. the issue is that i think it just does it out of show, and you are really not at the beginning again, in fact it's just an illusion since i seem to be able to run off the stage's edge. besides that i thought it had a rather enjoyable concept. fix these glitches and this is front page material for sure!

Too much controls

The concept is really awesome but there are too many controls to worry about , maybe some music and sound would have been nice too
