power thieves

instructions

Starts with an opening cinematic over grey screen. Press any key to progress.

Left/right arrow keys to turn.
Up/down arrow keys to move forward/backward.
Press Z to fire.
Hold X to spend power and illuminate space, allowing you to see enemies.

The timer is your power gauge on the bottom of the screen, depleting each second.
Kill enemy ships to steal their power, and stay alive as long as you can.
You lose when you're hull integrity reaches 0. So don't crash or take enemy fire.

Spend your power wisely, and good luck.

Used the lovely Pixeloid Sans font from GGBotNet . I didn't know about their work until this jam, and now I've been utterly addicted to the delicious typographic feast over on their creator page. Thanks so much for the font!

Everything else is me - it's not a very big game :P

*known bugs*

Godot 4 projects take some time to load on Macs in the browser. It does seem to load eventually, but I had to wait about one minute on a grey screen before the opening text came in. Just a heads up.

I also fixed a bug with the aspect ratio not working for larger monitors a couple hours after the submissions ended. I'm not entirely sure how to go about including previous versions, but since it was just a minor bug fix, hopefully it's fine as is? Let me know if I need to change anything haha
