Super funny concept with great sound! Throwing stuff was super hard tough… after I while I only used tennis balls and chucked everything else directly to the floor

How does your game represent "Power"?
Chuck objects at the light switch to turn off the POWER and finally get some sleep~~~

Very silly concept, but pretty difficult to actually throw anything except the tennis ball. I only won when a balloon on the ground randomly shot up and hit the light switch.
finally hitting the switch felt better than i ever could've expected. got a little bit emotional after the third act as well.
wow what a game concept. This is the most solid 5 on originality i've seen. Short little game, i had fun filling the room with objects
Trick shot potential in this game is off the charts, great work (especially for 48 hours)
LET'S GOOOOOOO!!!! I threw a teddy bear and missed but it bounced up one of the balloons and the balloon hit the swtich lol
Took me a minute to figure out how to get the hand to throw at the right angle so I could win >:). Can't wait for the Godot 4.4 physics update that will let us have thousands of rigid bodies on screen so we can throw more objects.
Love the concept, very unique and so satisfying when you finally hit the switch! I kept getting so close with the tennis ball, but then balloons and teddy bears wouldn't stop spawning!
I'm not sure if I hit the lightswitch, or if Clark the Spark just busted my whole house.
Lol was not expecting it to be that difficult, was determined to get it with the tennis ball and then switched my strat to the corgi. So satisfying when I finally got it, well done!
First try.
Here's a vod of me playing your game: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2374242107?t=00h12m29s
Holy moly. FINALLY GOT IT! What a relief. This is such a silly game. I love it. Maybe the most unique game and take on power I've seen so far. Definitely needs a leaderboard for items spawned and time it took to get the light.
When you look at the gif on the front page of this game, you think “haha, I won’t need that many items in my run.” Then you play the game and realize that that was the world record for minimum objects spawned.
Great identification of a relatable problem involving power, and good execution turning it into a game. Objects making different sounds when you hold them is a good touch.
goofy in a good way
the sound effects made me laugh a lot
the sigh of relief when the light close is a good feeling
great job, cute and fun game
That corgi flew like a kite! I wonder if the "protagonist" does that every night and just keeps a drawer on the ceiling with hundreds of items... Fun two and a half hours of throwing stuff :)
Funny stuff! Was pretty hard finding the right arc to thow things at the swtich, but it was so satisfying when I eventually hit it. Great job for a game that was made in 48 hours!
Funny physic simulation games are always a blast. I feel like the hand could use a bit more of a separation between horizontal and vertical movement for more intentional throws, but I still was able to hit the light switch after about 10 attempts.
