Very creative & very original concept. Its fun to mess around with the physics, but also made me frustrated after a while, dont worry I'll figure it out eventually, just need a little break :D

Amazing work though! Nice job!

Fairly well executed game wit ha straightforward concept. The controls were a little too floaty for my likings but overall I had fun with this. I think the difficulty could have increased a little faster and require you to use the placing of weights sooner.

This is an interesting game. It's cool to see someone else implement the mechanic of having things stick to the player. I'm a little curious about the technicals of how you pulled it off, because my solution (using Godot) was kinda messy.

I'd like to see the trade-off of more weights making you more difficult to maneuver explored further. As it is, there's no incentive to go above the minimum requirement, so the best strategy is to stick with the minimum required (plus what's needed to make platforms). It would be interesting to see some sort of reward for having more weights than needed at the end.

I agree that the level design was kinda boring. It took me a while to get the mechanics working and then realised I had 6 hrs left for art and levels combined. Thanks for playing.

I love Katamari games so his was right up my alley. Using the weights as platforms was a really fun mechanic too.

What a pleasant surprise. Good job in exploiting Unity's weird physic system to make a fun game :D Graphics & audio could use some polishing of course, but what's there works perfectly fine. Great stuff!

Dude, really fun game! I think beign able to let go of the weights is a little op, but great concept.

THANKS FOR SUBMITTING TO MY FORM! I finished the entire game, 1000kg lets go!

THE GOOD (what i liked, and what stood out for me):

I enjoyed the idea of the game, very unique. The premise was very,very fun and allowed for some interesting mechanics, such as being able to fly by repeatedly locking and attaching yourself to the dumbbell, or creating a height bridge by abusing the jump reset everytime you touch a weight. But the satisfaction for solving a level is beyond many other games, This game is very unique and fun to play, make it a full game!

THE BAD (what i disliked, the bugs, and other problems):

there was a lack of sound in the game and the art was quite basic compared to other games, although quite comedic. Perhaps including much more game juice, such as when you jump and sfx for when you jump, or particles when hitting the weight measure at the right amount, or maybe fireworks at the end? the possibilities are endless

THE HARSH (stuff that would just make the game better, usually just personal opinion, don't take it too heavily :D ):

You could add a variety of different dumbbell types. Examples include: heavy, big dumbbells, heavyweight belts that don't stick out but give you weight anyways, jump boosts, or maybe even enemies?

OVERALL: A very fun game, a solid 5,4,3. I don't rate many games with a 5 in fun, good job! And thanks for submitting to the stream!

I love that you're just this huge sumo guy rolling around lol. Having to place your own platforms is a really cool mechanic

Such a fun game made out of really simple mechanics. I love any kind of game where it gives me the tools I need to come up with stupid plans and then try them, and this is one of those games. I made a sumo wrestler pole vault. What more can you ask for?
