How does your game represent "Power"?
Two representations: One, Mr. Spectacular pretends to have "magical levitation powers" to fool his audience. Two, the actual levitation comes from his assistant (the player) manipulating remote-controlled electric fans to levitate objects, and I interpreted "power" as "electrical power" here.

choosing keybinds in this way was really well executed and something i haven't seen done this seamlessly before. pixel art and animations are also great and really well polished!
Really cool! Love how the menu already conveys the keyboard key mechanic without having to say it. I may be way off base here, but is there some adventure time influence in this? I know a lot of wizards in the show that look very whimsical like the one you drew, may just be a coincidence tho :D
Really clever game, love the idea of setting up your own control scheme, and love games where you have to frantically manage multiple things at once!
It is a pretty fun game! and I love the art style. Idk if this is more of a me issue but sometimes when the stars would spawn my eyes had a hard time seeing them. Either way, it was lots of fun!
Unique visuals and music to match with simple but solid gameplay. Nice work.
Simple to learn, hard to master, makes it very easy to play repetitively.
Really simple but fun game! The art looks great. Good job :)
Challenging but very fun. Music and art are super charming! One of my favourites so far.
Art style is incredibly cute! Also good job with the whole key remapping on the go. But you are truly evil for switching keys mid-game lol
hehehehehhee thank you <3
Really charming game :) I like this
Unique art, cute music, simple mechanics that are surprisingly tricky. Couldn't get past day 2, but fun game!
Fun little game! I made it to day 3 after a few tries with a high score of 4551. Control scheme was interesting and took a minute to understand but it was original. I enjoyed the pixel art style and the music was cute. I also liked the dialogue. The gameplay itself was a bit simple but took more brainpower than I expected haha. Great work.
really made me *feel* like I was juggling for him
great job on this, love the switching mechanic for re-wiring
dialog was funny too
just played it, loved the oregon trail art style, it reminds me of the apple II game eras, really good, i could see myself returning to this game, it would be cool to have an update where you can buy things for your Mr. Spectacular and add other variables to the game like how much the theather enjoys your show, i see a lot of potential to this game :3, i really like it
Absolutely love when the gameplay is also represented in the menu! The aesthetic and music is on point and the gameplay is simple but engaging! Thanks for the game!
Funny premise and solid game, nice work!
pro illusionist here 😎
i got stuck after the day 1 ended :(
fun minigame, it's a nice touch to be able to select what keys you want to use for each interactable, it makes you take a pause before start playing, and prepare yourself
would love to see what day two has prepared for us
ahhh noo! that bug is really bummin me out, I can't figure out why that's happening sometimes! thanks for playing though. are you really an illusionist?! i think mr spectacular could use some tips.
It starts out very simple, but as soon as the second stage starts, it becomes a serious test of your dexterity and coordination. The ability to swap controls every day with the new ones being unswappable is genius, but unfortunately I suck too much ass at this game to make it past wednesday. Great work!
hahaha sorry ive been playing a LOT of UFO50 which might've made me lean into a bit higher difficulty than usual. thank you for playing!
Very cool concept, took me couple of tries to feel the gameplay :D but my hands synchro is not the best. Very pretty artstyle. Good luck!
hehehe thank you!!
A simple premise done very well. When I started on Wednesday with the hastily rewired fans, I set up what I thought was a reasonable control set up, but that plan quickly fell apart when the wires got crossed and the controls switched from mine to a new key. Applause for the wizard behind this game (or at the very least the assistant in the audience making it function so well).
hehehehe thank you for the kind words!! i was cackling like an evil villain when i started testing the control switching 😈😈
