Both themes are in play here. You can only use the two arrow keys, and you'll notice the character grows over time as he eats the corn nuts.

I only had Saturday to work on this, but I thought it turned out pretty good! It's based on a true story too, so that should add to the feels.

The character, music and sound are totally crazy, even if i could't actually play it, is very funny! Cheers! Stefan (Tyrants.not.found.team)

That was is hilarious! The physics/controls are just crazy but it's easy to get the hang of it. Well done!

Interesting game. Reminds me of an easier/simple version of QWOP. Knowing that it was based off a true story gives it an additional layer of humor. Why is he in a mattress store? Why is he eating corn nuts one by one?

Inspiring QWOP-style frustration, this is an incredibly amusing entry, if only for it's sheer ridiculousness.
The graphical style is perfect for this style of entry, and the physics are spot-on. Though this couldn't really go on to make a full game, as it stands it's a pretty amusing way to kill a few minutes.

Difficult QWOP style game. I always wished there was a simpler version of that, but perhaps I need even simpler... nice job though.

27 points, but then I fell right between those mattresses!

I think everyone has (or is) a 'Jared' in their life at some point, so good job sharing this quasi-relatable experience!

Such a corny game! It made me laugh. Reminds me of QWOP.

Windows download build doesn't work. Audio was great although I couldn't find any rhyme or reason to the controls
