WOW! So sorry I missed the voting window but I LOVED your entry. Yes, the core gameplay mechanic is just mashing Q, but there art, charm, progression system, humor and everything just made me want to keep playing until the end (defeated God in three clicks!). So many things made me laugh like the homeless opponent being a step ABOVE the normal buff guy, when I first lifted the treadmill and skipped leg day instead of running, and just the expressions on all the characters. Not to mention adding in little quirks to all the enemies so there was just enough variety to make each fight different.
AND you actually made such good use of the theme. Fantastic and you should be proud!

A well-made arm wrestling game with solid mechanics and a polished style. Well done!
Good game, fun, fits the theme, maybe add some abilities to players, only disadvantage if you just level up first in the gym for like 2-3 min you can just speedrun the game.
Every character apart from the “Normie” has an ability. It’s not showed in the best way but it’s there. We agree that you can finish the game very quickly and that there are some balancing issues in the gym, we plan to update the game after the jam ends. We appreciate the feedback and thank you for playing!
That is how treadmills should be used to workout totally agree. Loved the game enjoyed until I became the master of arm wrestling. Loved the homeless trick 😂. The art was really amazing. Great work wish you all the best.
Amazing fun game, just absolutely nails pretty much everything, including the ridiculously overpowered mechanic :'D In the end I just spammed the gym and got a lot of fun until pressing Q got just a bit too much tbh, but in a GOOD way ;)
Awesome art and the sound was perfect, -would love to see more special moves for the player, I'm sure you could do some really funny stuff. More elaborate control system might be worth looking at as this could definitely fly commercially, I think, with jusssst a little scope added. Great idea, amazingly well executed, especially in the time!
