How does your game represent "Power"?
You have to carry all the groceries from the car to your house in ONE TRIP. If that isn't power, I don't know what is.

Hilarious, but also REALLY difficult. Just like doing a single trip from the car to the door so +1 for realism tbh.

This was genuinely fun, like playing twister with my left hand while hoping desperately I didn't completely throw off my balance with the right. Mutlitasking elements in a game is difficult to balance right, and I think this was one of the games this round that handled it the best.

Developer

HAHAHAHAH thank you so much for your kind words!! That was the exact feeling we were trying to get across--I just read your comment out loud to my dev partner and we are both delighted that you liked the mechanics. Thanks for playing! :)

The theme is so relatable. We all did this, and thats wonderful.

Developer

Thank you so much! It's a very real, very powerful feeling. Do I manage it every time? No. Does that stop me from trying every single time? Absolutely not.

This was a really fun and charming little game. I will say I was kind of confused because I thought the grip meter would be press and not hold, but I figured it out pretty quickly. All I can really say is that the gameplay is really damn fun, I like just about everything in this game. Great job!

Developer

Thank you so much!! Yeah, we definitely could have explained the mechanics better... I'm so glad you had fun regardless :)

Your take on the theme is fun and relatable. The visuals are really cool too. Great job!

Developer(+1)

Haha, thanks so much! This is the most powerful I feel on a regular basis, so when I couldn't take all the groceries in yesterday in one trip by myself I was devastated. Thanks for playing :)

I really liked this, it was simple but very effective. Even though like maxwtrumpet I was not able to get the buttons to work I still had a lot of fun just balancing. I also loved the art and music. Great job!

Developer

Thank you so much!! We had a lot of fun making it, so we're happy you had a lot of fun as well :)

Not quite sure what the buttons do - I could beat it just by making sure to balance.

Developer(+1)

Oh my god

We tested it so many times but we just kept on pressing the buttons because we thought they worked and we liked pressing the buttons

THANK YOU SO MUCH for telling us--we fixed it but alas there is no reuploading

The buttons are ostensibly to keep hold of the bags and if you don't hold onto them you lose your grip on the bags and fail, but it's actually so funny that they don't work

You are a true gamer b/c you found the most optimal way through it
