How does your game represent "Power"?
It represents power in the literal sense with arm wrestling, and symbolically by overcoming yourself.

Visuals are obviously awesome, but I'd like to shout out the sound. Stringing together slams and recharges had a really satisfying "ding ding dong dink" (you know what I mean) that made it feel much more impactful. Writing was on point and the game instantly establishes a world and vibe that's recognizable but with a personable identity. Hope to see arm wrestling be the conflict resolution for all problems some day. Nice entry, and though my fingers are a bit tired, I had a blast.
Great twist on the fighting game genre. I was just button mashing the combos at the start until I learned how to string them together. It was very satisfying to learn.
I feel like I would rather be button mashing with my right hand and executing combos with my left. Since the PC is using their right arm to wrestle and the button mashing was way more strenuous. I also think giving the Cartridge Change some more obvious visual/audio feedback would be nice. In the heat of a match it can be hard to tell if it went off.
The theming and humor were excellent. Fun game. Good job, everyone!
My forearms are tired now, thanks.
There are some serious bones to this game, I could definitely see myself playing a longer version. The power theme was struck fantastically with the arm wrestling and the mashing controls. I was a little confused at first thinking I had to mash just A or Left to push left, but I got it eventually (alternate A and S). I love the abilities which let you decide when you want to hit the gas or take an obsidian break. It adds some real depth. Programming your abilities in with your right hand like your modifying your cyber arm on the fly with Konami codes? Amazing. Well done, team.
Also my wife lets me beat her in arm wrestling.
Wow... thank you very much for sharing your valuable feedback! We are happy to hear you would play a longer version!
You put a smile on all of our faces, thanks for playing!!!!
Love the visuals ;))
