You play as a human in a mech suit. The objective in Energize The Portals is exactly the title. You have to collect the energy cells, put them on the beacons and this will activate a nearby portal. When you enter the portal it will take you to the connected world. You must go back and forth between the worlds to get as high of a score as possible.
Now playable in web browser. I highly recommend you only use the web version as a last resort. It seems to be very buggy in some cases.

Backgrounds are cool, nicely made. Got a little repetitive.
The background was cool, but you might want to have it scroll a little bit slower.
Being able to jump through the terrain was a little too forgiving I think, and most of the small jumps could be run straight over, but I still wanted to see how many levels there actually were.
It feels like the game is the same over and over again, but some of the sprites were nicely done.
The Parallax backgrounds are nice! Like the music and gameplay as well
Looks good, it seems you caught everyone's attention with the parallax scrolling backgrounds! A few tweaks and you could really have a nice game here!
The first few levels are the same, at some point I thought your game wasn't finished and the levels are just repeating. Try remove the duplicated levels. You can also walk through the gaps on the ground? It seem there are some problems with the collision detection?
However, the graphics especially the background is nice as others already mentioned. The audio is quite nice too. Nice work!
Great use of parallax for the background and nice music. I liked how the protagonist walks :D However the gameplay felt a bit repetitive, as you were increasing the length of the levels but adding no other elements, such as enemies or power-ups, which would have been nice. Great job for 48 hours. Well done!
Works good, a bit repetitive. The web version not worked on my computer. But the windows looks ok (some colision bug but nothing that lock the game).
The backgrounds were cool, but it feels like it is sliding when you move because they are so fast.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.
MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Those parallax backgrounds are really cool!
