So much fun. I plugged Battery into Extender back (3 out) into the Battery and it crashed. Well not sure if that is the cause, but that's what happened anyway haha
Highscore is 498 power delivered!
At some point the zoom gets a little far away and it's hard to see the white lines on the grey background lol
Great prototype, seriously love it! :D
Watched Dunkey slowly lose his mind playing this, decided to see if I could to better, extremely addicting and simple premise.
I'm already addicted!
