Super cute! This is amazing. The opening sequence was adorable and really made this shine. The concept of a lizard getting swol is hilarious and is what made me click on this. Great work!

Not bad overall. The art is good, the level design is nice, and the story is good as well. But, maybe the background art is a bit weird.

Really good! My first couple of tries were hard since the punching bag human kept swinging according my motion lol. But I think it has to do about luck, since after that it was like a breeze. Nice game overall!

As a gym goer, I would say that if I saw a lizard trying to get swol with me, I would be so excited to be his trainer! Cute game and a unique take on the theme!!

The art is beautiful! I love this little lizard and the minigames were a fun approach to the exercise theme. Nicely done!

This game is so cute! On top of the visual direction & animation, I love the overworld sprites of the lizard running through the gym to avoid humans. The movement is super fluid but not too slippery; it's just right. Also all the minigames are so charming & equipped with fun animation that keeps me engaged; I wish the gym IRL was like this LOL You guys did an amazing job with this game!

Cute concept. One request would be to be able to skip the intro on each play through (unless I missed the option to somewhere) Great job though!

Thanks! You can actually press esc while the game isn't in full screen to skip the cutscenes if you'd like! We tried to subtly add some text in the top left corner saying that but it's hard to see sorry!
