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.

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 😈😈
really love the idea of control mapping being a mechanic and something the player has to think about. really cool game, nice work.
thank you for playing!!
Couldn't pass the first minute, although I'm good at joggling in real life ;) Quite a unique mechanics!
Really cool, I tried it 3 times but the page kept hanging at the end of the day on monday or tuesday which was a bummer so I couldet get far Well done though!
thanks for the screenshot, I'll keep trying to figure out what causes it but at least the screenshot narrows it down a lot for me. it is elusive 😔
The second level broke my brain. Will come back to this to try it some more this is fun! Top notch execution!
Absolutely incredible idea and fantastic execution! When the main menu wouldn't let me click play with the mouse I pressed D on the keyboard and my mind was BLOWN. And then the game iterates so well on that simple idea of having you choose the buttons. And then the buttons start changing mid game?? awesome work.
I LOVED THIS SO MUCH. I cannot believe how effective the mechanic of allowing players to select their own controls was. By day 2 I had already absolutely screwed myself over by designing unintuitive controls that made a lot of sense to me during the planning phase..
A huge part of why this game worked so well for me was how well you executed the game. It was very intuitive. Having players assign keys to the titlescreen was such a genius way to explain the concept. I did not even read the instructions going into the game but i figured it out very quick. Also the indication of the battery dropping helped a lot. Just really well done great work on this!
amazing visuals! fun little game that does a lot and engages you with simple mechanics :D Also like the accessible button mapping
Visuals are great. I really like button mapping system and mechanics. I think the only small problem is you start from the beginning when you lose, it might be better if you start from the last day you left.
perfect silly little game. played through it twice
haha thank you!!
The music and visuals are amazing but the game is quite hard! Maybe an easy mode where the battery doesn't run out as much, not sure. Great entry tho! At least i manged to get to Tuesday :D
the battery runs out quicker if you're pressing both fans at the same time 😈😈
good job! thanks for playing!
