Opened the games, got my ears assaulted, ran to the options and got owned :') Honestly though, I enjoyed the sounds matching up with key hits and the music worked well with the silly aesthetic. 

Rhythm games will usually have either the thing you're looking at be the "cue" (like rhythm heaven) or maybe have a break section where something happens on screen and you don't have to worry about pressing keys. I think incorporating something like that will let players admire your wonderful art!

Developer

that’s a great idea! I was really struggling with figuring out how to get people to stop staring at the bottom of screen the whole time. Great advice :)

Great options menu xD The game was super fun! When I got into the rhythm of the breath, breath, curl, it felt extremely good. I do feel like the music of the game should be turned down and the streak sound effect should be turned up (the little bing noise). Hearing that was satisfying but it was kinda hard to hear, if it was louder I feel that it'd be even more satisfying when you're on a streak. Great game with a straight-to-the-point simple mechanic, awesome job!

Developer

I totally agree! I was hoping to add volume options, because it was hard to mix on my terrible speakers :)

The options screen is my biggest highlight! Simple and yet very effective, I could see myself spending more time on this than going to the actual gym.

Liked the vibes, but the game ends instantly after tutorial (with -11100 points), could not play it :(
Anyway I could fix it? Or is there a gameplay video to watch, I am still curious about it

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

That stinks! I'll try to find and fix that bug after the jam. In the meantime I'll record a video and reply again with that for you to see :)


it’s probably an issue with the static variables, hitting restart from the death screen should reset every variable to 0 fixing it.

My eyes were so glued to the bar at the bottom I didn't get to see anything else that was happening.

First "power lifting" game I've seen too nice!

Developer

I did notice that was a bit of a problem haha, I wish I had made it easier for the eye to wander

Fun little game!!

Lemme back at em! Can't believe that scrawny lil dork could outlift me for SO long. Great visual design, very clear mechanics, and a sweet and short tutorial that tells the player exactly what to do to become a muscled beast.

Developer

You should right taglines professionally lmao, thank you :)
