How does your game represent "Power"?
Boot King is quite powerful, increasingly so. He collects money to grow his crown, increasing his potential jump power. The long you hold down the jump button, the more powerful his jump. This game also represents themes of power inspired by my own reflections on the world and the word over the last week or so.

Got stuck in the secret jail but I also have a couple billion in my pockets so it's not so bad.
No one boot should have all that power.
I got too much money and crowns that when I jumped I broke the sound barrier.
10/10. Would break sound barrier again.
A profound exploration of socioeconomic dynamics disguised as a whimsical arcade experience. The King, encapsulated in a boot, serves as a striking metaphor for the detachment of monarchy from the struggles of the common folk—quite literally bouncing above them while extracting their wealth. The game masterfully captures the inevitability of economic cycles: the King jumps, the people pay, and the system continues, unchallenged. I also liked the King's voice he was a treat. <3
I've always wondered, what it would be like to be a King of olden times. Now I know it's highly rewarding gig :D . Liked the voice acting very much. Fun game!
From now on I'll only pay my taxes if the president starts wearing a big boot.
You're so good!!! I wanted to warn you that I'm gonna be resetting the leaderboard before the jam ends, but I'm very impressed and honored that you at one point had every single spot in the top 10. It'll be honored in a screenshot on the game page. Thank you for playing so much! I'm excited to check your game out.
