How does your game represent "Power"?
Chuck objects at the light switch to turn off the POWER and finally get some sleep~~~

It's unusual and fun, I really liked it, the physics are well adjusted.
Pretty neat lol. I could not turn the lights off though...
Super funny concept with great sound! Throwing stuff was super hard tough… after I while I only used tennis balls and chucked everything else directly to the floor
Very silly concept, but pretty difficult to actually throw anything except the tennis ball. I only won when a balloon on the ground randomly shot up and hit the light switch.
finally hitting the switch felt better than i ever could've expected. got a little bit emotional after the third act as well.
but have you found the good ending yet?
not yet! still trying to finish the dating sim ending with the balloon
wow what a game concept. This is the most solid 5 on originality i've seen. Short little game, i had fun filling the room with objects
Trick shot potential in this game is off the charts, great work (especially for 48 hours)
How silly, I bet the speedruns will go nuts
Took me a minute to figure out how to get the hand to throw at the right angle so I could win >:). Can't wait for the Godot 4.4 physics update that will let us have thousands of rigid bodies on screen so we can throw more objects.
Yeah dude I am so stoked, can't wait. I was using Jolt physics for this project until I realized it doesn't have web support smh
Web game moment, worse for me, I had to remove web after submitting because the third level would just stop rendering randomly.
Love the concept, very unique and so satisfying when you finally hit the switch! I kept getting so close with the tennis ball, but then balloons and teddy bears wouldn't stop spawning!
This hard af, rly cool though
I'm not sure if I hit the lightswitch, or if Clark the Spark just busted my whole house.
Clark is living in our walls

"JUST HIT THE– oh I got it. Nice"
Great experience.
Lol was not expecting it to be that difficult, was determined to get it with the tennis ball and then switched my strat to the corgi. So satisfying when I finally got it, well done!
First try.
Here's a vod of me playing your game: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2374242107?t=00h12m29s
Thanks for the stream! Always fun watching people struggle
Holy moly. FINALLY GOT IT! What a relief. This is such a silly game. I love it. Maybe the most unique game and take on power I've seen so far. Definitely needs a leaderboard for items spawned and time it took to get the light.
When you look at the gif on the front page of this game, you think “haha, I won’t need that many items in my run.” Then you play the game and realize that that was the world record for minimum objects spawned.
Great identification of a relatable problem involving power, and good execution turning it into a game. Objects making different sounds when you hold them is a good touch.
Good point, I need to get a leaderboard going that keeps track of minimum objects spawned haha
goofy in a good way
the sound effects made me laugh a lot
the sigh of relief when the light close is a good feeling
great job, cute and fun game
That corgi flew like a kite! I wonder if the "protagonist" does that every night and just keeps a drawer on the ceiling with hundreds of items... Fun two and a half hours of throwing stuff :)
Right, this seems to be a nightly ritual for our protagonist, who also happens to be god. But even god likes to make a challenge for himself sometimes...
