It was a bit of a mess for me to get into the controls, but the game is quite funny and really interesting! The learning curve certainly pays off.

Ha! Interesting take on the theme. Shoulder pressed with 3 plates to lift more than anyone else. Good job :D

Funny idea :-)

Could figure out the throwing though, and after a while my dude only lowered one arm and I couldn't pick up anything anymore.

But the game looks and sounds pretty cool!

Nice mechanics and graphics. It's kinda hard to learn but a good entry. Take some stars, son!

Too easy to score by just lifting massive weights repeatedly, there should be more benefit to throwing them around to make it more fun. Another easy improvement would be to hilight weights that are about to be picked up. Still, memorable time at the gym.

Well designed and fun game. It took some getting used to, but I could definitely improve over a reasonable amount of time. Love the bro-ness!

Funny, cool game. I included it in part 20 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/WVNLcoTqal4

A little easy to game the system and the controls could use some tweaking but its a neat gameplay idea. Good work!
