Battery Life
This is my entry for Kenney Jam 2025. The theme is "power", so you help 2 robots escape darkness before running out of battery. They both need to survive in order to win, so be sure to share their power!
I attempted 4 of the challenges:
No text: Create a game that doesn't use any text at all.
Mouse only: Your game should be fully controlled using only the mouse.
Co-op: Your game should feature co-op gameplay.
Symmetry: Your game should heavily feature symmetrical elements in visuals, mechanics or both.
Controls
These are a bit tricky, specially playing solo. If you play with a friend local co-op, I recommend one of you holds the mouse down while you both press the buttons.
Left mouse button controls the first player (robot on the left):
- Short tap of LMB makes the first player jump.
- Long press of LMB makes the first player slide.
Right mouse button controls the second player (robot on the right):
- Short tap of RMB makes the second player jump.
- Long press of RMB makes the second player slide.
The mouse wheel can be used to share power between players (if available)
- Scrolling up will give energy from first player to the second player.
- Scrolling down will give energy from second player to the first player.
The robots battery will slowly drain while they run.
There are 2 checkpoints in the game. If you use them you'll get less stars at the end.
There are 2 power sources that can charge the robots, you just need to touch the switch on the opposite side.

Also my wife, tolerating very crazy 48 hours, and helping me test co-op. I would have passed out at the desk if it wasn't for her.
