How does your game represent "Power"?
Boot King is quite powerful, increasingly so. He collects money to grow his crown, increasing his potential jump power. The long you hold down the jump button, the more powerful his jump. This game also represents themes of power inspired by my own reflections on the world and the word over the last week or so.

Fun game! Getting the money was pretty satisfying and super awesome music.
well that was a lot of fun. i love the king's voice lines. its so satisfying to steal... i mean collect the money i deserve from the people.
This was pretyt fun! Loved the sound effects!
The Rich get to eat their big salads while we're stuck building their golden guillotines. We truly live in a society smh.
(Really fun, love the voice work)
Nice game! Silly and fun, the art is nice and I really enjoy all the delightful chuckles with every conceited hop!
WOW, the music is a banger!
Thank you so much! It's based on the folk song "Bella Ciao" but I had a ton of fun making this version of it.
💀
Fun quick game
I thought I'd play only once but when I saw the leaderboard, I had to get the high score. I didn't in the end but it was pretty fun to try to come up with a strategy of making money faster. The end jump is a bit unfair as no matter the power you've got, it's really hard to do a vertical jump and bouncing off walls slows you down a lot and doesn't let you land at the top platform.
This was delightful! :D
Simple but super fun game. I love the kings hilarious voice lines!
I seem to be soft locked at the beginning- can't jump high enough to get more than 2 bills
Edit: Seems like I'm running into a bug other people also experienced
Am I doing something wrong?
Yeah I've been tearing my hair trying to figure out what's causing/how to avoid this. Can I ask what browser you experienced the bug in?
I'm on Chrome!
Is it possible it has to do with screen resolution? What's your monitor resolution?
I had that thought as well. I have two, both at 1920 x 1080. fwiw, I don't believe anyone has experienced that bug on firefox or through the .exe
I was on 1080p, but I also had multiple displays connected..
works on chrome on my laptop tho!
very fun and love the mobile support. the dialogue is great. I loved seeing the improvements from when I first playtested it, was a blast!
If you didn't vote for boot king unfollow me rn
Also had the PC bug but it plays well on mobile nonetheless. I liked the voice lines for the Boot King - good stuff!
Thank you so much for playing! Can I ask what browser you experienced the bug in?
Yeah! I was on Chrome for Windows. It was the bug where I couldn't really jump, despite how far I clicked and dragged the mouse around the screen.
okay that tracks with what i've heard so far! opera and chrome have had that bug sometimes for sure, i'm not aware of hat happening on firefox or through the download yet though. thank you!
Really nice game, loved the fact that getting a fancy Guillotine was important XD.
was really confused at first because i got the bug on browser, but i swapped to mobile and it worked fine, wouldnt let me submit my score though, but was really fun!
I had the same issue of not being able to jump very high. I pulled out my Mac with a higher resolution, and the viewport scaled large enough to where I could jump. I had the same issue with my game. That the viewport would scale differently. It probably has to do with how Godot handles exporting to web, even though you can set a resolution during export and on Itch. Unsure of a fix around that though :/. But it was a great concept! Also bonus points because both of our games have King in the name! :)
On my PC, In my browser I couldn't really jump very high, but on mobile it worked nicely. Funny concept, good job!
Thank you! That's a bug I've heard from at least 3 people, not the majority but it's definitely happening sometimes and I'm trying to figure out why. If you don't mind sharing, what browser did that happen in?
I was using Opera when I posted. I tried Opera GX and Chrome as well and had the same problems, though I managed to get out of the bottom in GX, but only after messing around for a bit in full-screen. If I had to guess the problem, its a combination of the viewport being too small to get a large enough of a force vector as well as the amount of cash that appears and is reachable from a 2 foot crown.
That's super helpful, thank you! I suspect it has something to do with the calculation for jump strength taking mouse to player distance into account, which could totally interact with what you're suggesting. On most displays the game should be designed in a way that you can always reach (or spawn) money from the bottom and reach that lowest platforms by 3 crowns. But I've seen what I think you experienced where the jump height just never goes above a tiny hop at the start. Anyway, thank you for the information and the feedback, and for playing our game!
Thank you, poor!
got stuck in the secret jail :( lol. I wish I could've seen a bit more of the level around me so I knew where I was jumping. Had fun!
I can't seem to make any jumps higher than the starting screen :(
This seems to be a rare bug! I haven't figured out what causes it yet. Out of curiosity, what browser were you using to play it?
Chrome, and the game didn't boot in Firefox
nNot booting in firefox is new to me! i'll have to see if i can figure that out too.
It might not be browser related, but it seems that sometimes your power just doesn't update?
