My hands got tired, really makes you feel like your an arm wrestling champ! Well done

Super unique concept with some great presentation as well! Felt a little on the easy side but I'm kind of glad since the controls did have my wrists cramping a little (damn carpal tunnel haha). The narrative was also quite nice! Really cool game!

Developer(+1)

Yes we wanted to add accessibility features but we did not have the time to add them so I'm glad you were able to finish it! Thank you for the great feedback!

Beautiful game, really liked the style - very well presented! Gameplay feels pretty smooth. Good stuff, thank you for making it :)

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for playing! 

Submitted(+1)

This was a good short game! The ability descriptors are concise and make sense, the gameplay was fun and the story was pretty funky! I wish we actually got to see an actual conflict being solved by arm wrestling, as opposed to an inner one, but I like it nonetheless. 

Developer

Yes, we would have liked more real fights too but we had to settle for the inner fight because of time constraints. Thank you for playing!

Unfortunately I think I've found a bug where the game wouldn't progress past the intro screen at the beginning :(. I really liked the music that was playing and the screenshots look very interesting so I'd like to return to it after the jam is over if you manage to fix it!

Developer (1 edit)

:O Oh no... That's a bummer. I am not completely surprised as we fixed up the intro screen at the last minute but its the first time I hear about this bug. It's not written anywhere but you are supposed to hit the spacebar to progress the dialogue but if that's not it, ill look into it. Thank you for the bug report and at least thank you for your kind words on the music!

Submitted(+2)

The game is very beautiful! The art and music are really on point. As for the gameplay, I found it a little confusing at first, but then I realized it was just a skill issue by my side. xD

Great job—congrats to the team!

Developer

thank you sir

A game with a unique idea, rialization and visuals. 

Submitted(+1)

little confused on gameplay but it has a lot of potential! and i use 60% keyboard so im kinda limited when playing it

Developer

We were planning to add accessibility options :') but a week is so very short. And thanks for the feedback!

Submitted(+2)

Incredible presentation, the music, art and dialogue are all so good! Little confused by the gameplay, not sure if I'm just bad at quickly inputting combos or if there's something I'm missing.  Managed to beat Villain once but couldn't get it a second time. Cyberpunk arm wrestling fighting game is a really cool idea though.

Developer

Thank you for playing! Happy to hear you enjoyed the presentation, music, art and dialogue! I think a lot of people are having trouble with the difficulty, so it's not a problem unique to you :) 

Submitted(+2)

This could have a lot of potential in the future, i think you guys made a nice new mechanic that i havent seen in any other game, it was pretty good, i really hope you guys update it with more enemies! It was so good

Developer

Happy to hear you enjoyed playing our game! 

Submitted(+2)

This is awesome! Fighting game combos coupled with arm wrestling is a really neat idea, and the art and music complement it really well. That villain is pretty tough, too. Overall, really great job with this!

Woah! This is so fucking rad!

Developer(+1)

You are rad!

This looks incredible and is a lot of fun! I just wish that there was some explanation at the start for what my abilities did (maybe there was and I missed it). I think I figured them out in the end but I wasn't sure. I could see this being great as a longer more fleshed out game as well!

Great furthering of the helldiver arrow key commands, and I love the arm-wrestling theme. The wife plot was also fun to follow.
"We were supposed to have dialogue here but we ran out of energy" XD

Developer

Hey! First comment to point out the helldiver combos, it was definitely the inspiration to the game.

xDDD
Thank you for playing!

Really cool game! Maybe I'm just not very good at stringing the combos so didn't get very far after winning against my wife lol but really solid game soundtrack and visuals.

Developer

Thanks for playing! Happy to hear that you enjoyed our visuals and soundtrack, the team worked very hard on that. 

Submitted(+1)

the credits at the start were very cute, i'll definitely note for myself! Love the dotted comic book shader. Rather interesting plot, definitely to the weird side, reminded me of Godslap, lol. Very very fun gameplay and amazing visuals, great job team!

Developer

Thank you for the play and comments! We really appreciate it!

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.

Developer

Thank you for the playthrough and feedback! The ding ding dong dink and all sound effects were made with a lot of love. 

We are really happy you enjoyed playing!
