You're the cool dude with the 'tude and a sci-fi skateboard, grinding on the local power lines. Enforcement drones are trying to get you down by electrifying the cables - ram them from the sides and see how many you can take down before they zap you. Make sure to grab the batteries keep your board charged up.

This was an entry for TriJam #352 for the end of the year where the challenge was to make a playable game within three hours! It has since been updated with some extra polish, but the original builds are still available to download! Made with the PICO-8.

Controls

Use the arrow keys or a gamepad to move forwards and backwards and to jump left and right between cables. Move sideways into a drone to destroy it. Move into batteries to recharge your board before its power level drops to zero.

Avoid jumping onto an electrified cable without taking out the drone on it!
