Lots of fun! It's like Vampire Survivors meets Wario Ware. I wonder how it'd feel if the minimum number of upgrades was 2 instead of 1, just so you always have an element of choice. Very enjoyable experience!

music is epic! Voice actor sounds dead in the inside, the tight schedule probably got him!

Really fun, I liked the different minigames, but they stop being usefull after you have all the upgrades. I managed to beat the swimming and the thunder minigame, but the running was too difficult.

Pretty ambitious idea! I love the style and sound design is really fun :)

Found it very enjoyable until I ran out of upgrades, it felt challenging enough where I'd be excited to finally get an upgrade. Minigames felt very impactful at the start, where you increase your potential to get a good upgrade, but later in the run doesn't feel like they matter that much.

Personally I found the theme fit very well from a vibes / aesthetics perspective. The hero gives off Rocky-esque vibes, i.e. growing stronger, especially the poses after minigames, so I wouldn't write this game off as not fitting the theme at all!

Also bonus style points for sound effects, absolute gold :p

Enjoyment⭐⭐
The combat doesn't really feel great, and the minigames are really basic but A for effort in including multiple different challenges.

Creativity
Theme is non-existent, sorry. Putting the word in the title doesn't count lol

Style ⭐⭐⭐
Appreciate that you did the visuals yourselves! Always more fun than an asset rip.
