Creative Vision / Rationale / How Did You Incorporate the Theme
The theme of two people reaching out to each other reminded me of when you touch someone, sometimes there's a build up of static electricity. So this game revolves around the mechanic of building up static electricity and zapping another player.

seems a fun experience, only tried running around single-player I assume zapping and getting zapped flings the zapped around like when hair-trigger score event happens. The challenge that you slow down when you are charging your zap and the orb and lose charge when you are moving quickly seems like it could lend itself to some fun hectic gameplay.

Thank you for the kind comment! Yes, with multiple players, I imagine it can get quite hectic. I’ve never even played with more than two players myself! 🤣

ONLINE MULTIPLAYER IN A JAM GAME??? That is so impressive. Also, I really loved your interpretation of the theme, it's very creative.

I appreciate the fully featured user interface, which included a settings and lobby menu.

The sound design is killer. No notes. Love how the music changes across the different menus and there's even on-theme electricity sounds for UI interaction.

Unfortunately I haven't tried the game in multiplayer, but I still got to see some of the mechanics through hosting and starting a game with just myself. The character models and animations are super cool and the controls feel very intuitive. 

Having a single player mode where you compete against bots could be a good future addition to this game.

Overall I'm just crazy impressed. It fits the theme extremely well while still being unique, has great sound and visuals, and seemingly 0 bugs despite supporting very complex features. Plus it was made by ONE PERSON????

INICREDIBLE job!!!!
