How does your game represent "Power"?
My game stages the eternal struggle between man and stubborn jars of pickles. To win this challenge the protagonist will have to pursue more power. He'll gain physical and magical powers, but in the end, the most effective ones will turn out to be the most genuine.

Best gigabyte I've ever downloaded :D
Genuinely the hardest I've laughed at a game since Lethal Company came out, the ending gag in particular was very clever. 10/10 mastapiece
Thank you for the high praise!
Why have people not played this masterpiece? Totally unfair!
It's been a while since I had a genuine laugh from a game, well done!
HAHA AMAZING! tho i wished the camera stayed on top of the player
I have no words for this masterpiece of a game. I felt every emotion of being a man unable to open a pickle jar with the powers of power, anime, electricity and love. Also, my gpu is exploding for some reason!
Thank you very much! I hope the gpu is only metaphorically exploding... I tried to optimize it quite a bit in the time I had :0
This game surprised me big time. The control and graphics are a bit wonky, but the concept and the gameplay were really fun. I loved the jokes and specially the ending!
this is cinema.
Incredible story! Why does the game change to tank controls though? There is some weird stuff with the UI showing to spam space even when not necessary but that was still an awesome experience!
Thank you for the review. I wanted to convey this: in the kitchen the husband is feigning confidence and has full control, but when out of sight of the wife he's anxious and scrambles to find more power, thus messier tank controls that make you bump into stuff.
Unfortunately I realize I've made them a bit too difficult to get used to. Next time I should find the time to playtest more!
Ah okay, that makes sense. Yeah might need to play with the controls more to make them intuitive but messy.
What an absolute gem of a game! Unironically the funniest game I've seen in the jam. Love your sense of humor
Why the hell does this only have like 6 ratings????????????
That was incredible! I punched the boulder just like my favorite guy, Chris Re5
Thank you, that was definitely an inspiration, ahahah
Omg this is the best game ever it's so funny! I haven't found the secret ending yet though :0
Edit: Nvm I got it lol
Everything about this game is hilarious and I love it.
...But the movement on this character....it looks funny, but uh....it's so hard to control it's almost unplayable.
I managed to beat it, but only because it was funny.
Thank you for the feedback, I just made a quick video showing how to move comfortably.
I have seen after your comment that the mouse turns the character when running around in "tank controls" mode, causing overturning with A and D.
I'll patch it out after the voting, in the meantime I suggest using only WASD when outside the kitchen :)
