Depths of Strength
Another game, another ball. Play as a ball character with wicked great graphics and radical music. This ball wants to be the World Champion of Fighting but he'll need to train and fight to make his dream come true.
-2 Different gameplay styles (Overhead training and RPG battling)
-Your arms can be trained and used individually with 3 different elements, leading to much variety (As a fortune cookie would say).
-Horrible UI

About:
This game was alot of stress to make and I can't believe it's playable. Theme-wise if I had more time and someone to make UI I would've made the muscles layered and showed them as you worked out so you could see the depth in strengthening different muscle types...but that was replaced with text and the theme lost most likely.

NOTE: I uploaded fix, the old version would crash when resetting the level for some reason. Hopefully bug is gone.

One idea to improve this game would be to either condense the training part to allow the players to choose all 7 days worth of exercises or to add more choice / variation between the training days. Having to go back and forth between the bed and the workout equipment (while fictionally makes sense) isn't super fun. The choice of which workout to do is fun, so give me more time picking which works out to do! Alternatively, if you want to teach the player that rest is important for strength training, maybe adding 2 legs to the game, and having a chance to damage an overworked muscle could be interesting as well.
I did miss a Day 0 fight though — would’ve helped to understand what I’m training for during the first 6 days.
Also it is quite hard to understand what effect effective against what. So, maybe, it would be useful to add some tip to the game page or inside game)
It could be cool game if you continue to develop this concept after jam! Good luck
Got big Monster Rancher vibes from this game, which is crazy ambitious. Nice job on this one!
I felt stronger than ever, training my muscles with a wet shoe and a spiky flower :D This was surprisingly fun, even though I wasn't sure if defending with left and or right made any difference. But maybe that was because I trained both arms equally. Fun entry :)
Would have liked for the battle to either sometimes start with having to defend or there to be a time limit for attacking before the opponent would come at you since now I could first calmly analyze which arm I think would be stronger at attacking/defending against which arm before choosing to do anything (despite my predictions being right maybe 3/4 times :D). A nice submission regardless!
And yeah, I would've liked to add different starts for attack/defend based on who is faster and also make the enemy change their defense/attack RIGHT BEFORE attacking so you have to try and change quickly too. I am happy with some of the stuff in the game, but like always time was the enemy.
