NOTE: Because of the Theme tie, we allowed everyone to pick either Theme. Using both was optional. To keep things simple, there will still only be one Theme category. Every category in Ludum Dare voting is an opinion, so you’re welcome to rate them as you see fit. But we encourage you to be fair in your scores to people that chose only one Theme, and not both.
ALSO: Itch.io has an experimental game downloader over here. You may find it useful.
The objective of the game is to survive and reach the end
You control the game with 2 buttons - The Right and Left arrow key
You can press them both down simultaneously to stand still and use a Nuke
You can pick up a Powerup to gain 1 life, 1 Nuke and fire a Nuke
If a Nuke is fired, the walls become electric. If you touch an electric wall you will become Electric and immune for 1 hit. If you are Electric and touch another electric wall, you become Super Electric and invincible for 5 seconds

Awesome music. Graphics were simple but work well. Gameplay feels good, could use a little more variety.
Great music. Fun game, although I thought it was a bit too hard to play it the "right" way, so I ended up just holding L+R all the time to stand still. It means you can't really use nukes, but the increased maneuverability was totally worth it!
Arr. So many lovely-looking entries that are Windows-only.
Perhaps I can arrange to borrow a PC from a sympathetic associate.
Loved the retro feel. A bit too challenging. Great two button controls. Wonderful audio. Thanks for the submission!
I'm so stressed by the controls! But the idea is very cool! And gamefeel is pretty good too.
I had problem to launch the game, but I think it came from my antivirus...
Great sound. Graphics really fit the style. Personally I found the constantly moving back and forth a little annoying, would prefer just moving left/right with the keys.
Like the art style and music. I felt a little out of control, not being able to stop moving. It was fun nuking those squares tho
Woo! The game is very addictive, I love it :-) Good job!
I enjoyed this game and liked the simplicity of it. The only issue I had was the controls, which I find problematic. I'm sure that being able to stop and not being constantly moving would allow the player to move with more accuracy and thus, make the game more fun and fair.
Great job!
The music is absolutely killer! Even more so that it was done by the same person who did the art and programming! Wish there was a neutral state as I kept running into enemies and accidentally missing power ups. Great overall though!
I like the mechanics but it feels a bit unintuitive. Not a fan of powerups being overlaid by squares most of the time.
Cool game! Enjoyed the invincibility mode and the nukes! Should be a countdown for invincibility though.
Wow, this was intense! Simple and fun. Nice sound!
A pitty there is no highscore.
Was fun and interesting once I got used to it, but it definitely needed some introduction to the mechanics in some fashion, be it a (much) slower start or a tutorial mode, as my first few attempts ended quite quickly given the fast start the game has.

Mini Submission FAQ
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.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
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 at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
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. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
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.
A fun game, good music.
