Lighting Bolt

📍 Description

I came up with this game and built it in April 2021.

Back then, I wasn’t really focused on promoting it.  But now, I’ve come back to it — and I finally feel ready to show it to the world.

The game was originally designed for mobile platforms, so it’s much more comfortable to play with your finger on a phone. Mouse controls work, but swiping precisely is harder.

⚡ About the Game

You defend an energy core in the center of the arena from incoming enemies.

Each time you cast lightning or destroy an enemy, you gain experience.   When your XP bar fills up, you can choose one of four perks to upgrade your abilities:

• 🛡 Shield — increases shield durability and recharge speed
• ✅ Reflection — lets lightning bounce more times before vanishing
• 🚀 Speed — makes lightning travel faster
• ⚡ Ammo — gives you more lightning charges to use

🎮 Controls

• Swipe — to launch a lightning bolt
• Tap — to place it as a trap, if you have more than one in stock

(Works best on touchscreen — mouse input is functional but less precise.)

🚧 Status

This is a beta version. The core gameplay is complete, but I have plans to improve and expand it:

• improved visuals
• smoother controls
• more diverse and impactful perks
• atmospheric upgrades and new locations

But before any of that, I’d love to hear what you think.   Is it fun? Is it worth developing further?   Any feedback — positive or negative — is welcome.
