PowerTrip TV

A puzzle city builder set in a reality TV show where you must manage excessive energy while building through trap-filled levels.

PowerTrip TV

PowerTrip TV was developed for HackTheMidlands 5.0 Game Jam with the theme "Unlimited Power." The game presents itself as a crazy reality TV show where contestants must manage excess energy by constructing buildings, all while navigating through trap-filled environments. The core gameplay involves balancing energy management with construction, requiring players to build structures to dissipate energy before it causes destruction. As a programmer and designer, I worked on implementing the energy system and level layouts.

Challenges

  • Creating an interesting energy management system that drove gameplay
  • Designing puzzle-like levels that required strategic building placement
  • Balancing difficulty progression within the jam timeframe

Solutions

  • Implemented a visual energy system with clear feedback for the player
  • Created modular level components that could be combined for varied challenges
  • Designed initial levels to introduce concepts gradually before increasing complexity
