Strongman Jim: The Con-Quest for $$$ by WFMG

[raw]
made by WFMG for Ludum Dare 46 (JAM)

You have three minutes to prepare for the fight of your life. Do you have what it takes to go from flimsy shrimp to mighty prawn?

Note: Entering the lifting stations in the built versions of the game is currently impossible for an unknown reason. This is very frustrating and does not reflect the real gameplay of Strongman Jim. It works in the editor. Please keep this in mind as you rate this game and maybe wait for it to be fixed before you do so!

The objective of the game is to develop as much muscle mass as possible by lifting weighs in the gym. You engage with a lift by going near it. Once you've done this, you must quickly press the spacebar, A button (xbox), or X button (Playstation) repeatedly until you get the desired amount of repetitions.

The game supports conventional controllers as well as a keyboard. The mouse is not used. To move around, you use the WASD or arrow keys.

@shawarmaexpress Ah, yes. The early bird gets the unpublished itch page. Try again now. The build has some issues not present in the editor, however.

" what Con-Quest mean"

More seriously, I like the song, the intro sequence is very funny AND the main character looks interesting. I wasn't able to see my gains though. The game didn't crash it just... stopped responding to my input? I dunno. I'll try it out again later. Please rate mine

I really like the art style, and the intro cutscene was funny and set up the game perfectly. That being said, there was a glitch were when i moved forward the camera would glitch. There were also a few glitches with the canvas when in full screen. This game has lots of potential if you fix the glitches! Still well done on the entry!

whenever I appraoched the weights on the web version it seemed like I was being teleported back to the spawn. The openning animation was quite charming in its own way though

Couldn't make my character do anything :(
He kept going into this t-Pose were the game got stuck. Also, when I tried playing it on the web I couldn't see the text written on the floor!

Tried to run toward the bench and was teleported a meter back. What a shame, I really wished to play after such an amazing intro! It's really funny)

I kept being teleported away from everything and couldn't do anything. Also no sound at cut-scene at begining felt weird and broken.

Very buggy game. I glitched out of the wall and couldn't come back.
