Your game kicks ass. I somehow still laugh at how ridiculous my character looks on my 40th run. I legit cant wait to buy the full version whenever it comes out
Hahaha, it was too strong I’m sorry lol. You can still do a similar strategy with pre-workout, feel the burn for stamina and meditate/yoga for draw and full body massage/surgery.
Great game, I had a lot of fun with it and ended it off with an infinite glitch (the deep nap buff got so large that I was able to max legs with one use of iron legs)
yeah I did that too but I didn't go as far as you did just 300k because I didn't have too much time and my laggy ahh school Chromebook was about to explode
this works best with leg-end (beat the game with 2 different card decks (the the easiest two to beat with are Massochist and Juicer)) you need cards that give cards (preferred 2 hands-free) and feel the burn and then surgery and it works best with less than 10 cards. Use your card to gain cards and you need to get another ability that gives cards so you can keep getting cards and use feel the burn then use your card that gives cards so you get your other card that gives cards and feel the burn again for infinite stamina and then with infinite stamina you can use other cards like surgery to reheal your muscles and then just use a workout (iron kicks is best because then you don't have to keep getting that card back it just goes on) and when you run out of stamina use feel the burn and your card collection abilities all over again to repeat the process
I really loved it! Even though I'm not a fan of AI, this used it in a good, comedic way, so its not an issue! The game was a bit confusing at first, but reading it through and playing a bit, it was easily understandable, love how crazy the characters get!
This was such a fun game! Love the idea of getting buff while juggling different mechanics! The hilarious builds that you can make makes this game even better! I need a full game of this! Great job!
Your playthrough was so classic, the Zen deck is a little harder than the juicer I think, you didn’t take the W, but you made me laugh a lot! Wp keep shredding.
hahah wow the overflow is awesome. I nerfed More Pain More Gain so I don’t think it’s possible anymore, but maybe it is if you have an infini draw set up. Thanks for playing!
I went infinite on this level with the help of "workout draw". For 2 stamina I could create 5 workout cards, and each one allows me to re-draw the red bull.
I was really trying to push the limits of this game and I found that when you use something like the yuge day+ with the no pain no gain, you get a big bonus, nothing is stopping you from using something like mindfulness+ (and steriods+ if you don't have mindfulness in hand)
one time, with the perfect hand, I managed to get each muscle to about +150 each.
The way i did this was play first, feel the burn. second i then played steroids+, third i then played mindfulness+, fourth I played no pain no gain+, lastly i played yuge day.
At the end of my run, I 3 yuge days. That means that I could get on average +75 gains per muscle.
I just want to say how much I love roguelikes and are always on a search for a better one and this game, even though it is still in it's beginner form, feels really nice and one of the best roguelike games ive played
I got lucky enough to have 3 of the back buffs in one run, all having a 75% chance to triple my initial yield. I didn't take it as far as I should have, but I hit one workout for 8000 towards the end. The builds can get insane.
Just lost my Masochist build to the final boss (due to 3 bad hands and injuries[yes the nature of the build killed me]) I have it below if anyone wants to check it out
Absolutely hilarious deck builder, definitely going to be a game I'll come back to. I did notice a bit of a bug where a competition can have a long and short augmentation, but it does not affect play that much. 10/10, will play again.
Thanks for playing, I'm glad you liked it! I'll make it so that the same negative and positive can't happen. Sometimes it'll double and half the same muscle too (will also fix that).
Really fun deckbuilding!
I forced myself to figure out the butt build. (Obviously the best looking)
With the right competition cards, copious kettle bells, and lots of removals I JUST managed. At first I thought the card synergies were a bit limited… but after a bit more playing I think Im just bad.
The game seems to hand you the cards you need. IDK if thats just chance or not, but it felt great either way.
I know its an intentional jank aesthetic, and IDM the AI placeholder art, but in terms of readability the card art all looks the same. Muscles. It feels quite difficult to distinguish as a new player. That said, once I was into it and had a build I was aiming for, I didn’t really notice. At that point I was just looking for keywords related to my build.
I want to see the conclusion of the doctor warning you you’re too yoked at the end!
Really glad you stuck with it and got that juicy booty <3.
"At first I thought the card synergies were a bit limited…" I think the game doesn't do the best job at presenting the "build possibility space", or at least needs a little more time to give players more ideas. So, although you did find the booty build eventually, I think there's a way to present the game (don't know how atm) that shows potential build paths sooner.
There's no special drops for builds, so your run was just blessed by RnGainsus.
It's a good point on the cards (and muscles) being a bit too similar looking. I think if I get to the point of getting proper art, I'll be sure to make them super distinct.
A cutscene where your bones start disintegrating as the crowd cheers on would be hilarious lol!
I agree it's a little too hard, I just updated the early competitions to be a bit easier, and changed the one debuff.
It should be a little easier (although still hard).
My advice (if you want the W): don't be afraid of injuries, try go for +Gains or multiplier Gains. Draw cards and stamina cards are strong. But also some runs are just unlucky.
Really fun proof of concept game. Especially loved how unbalanced your proportions can get as you get deeper and deeper into a run. Some things need work and balancing: the -1 strength per card used debuff basically kills any run. The AI art needs to be replaced before it becomes a final game. But there's a lot of great potential here and I had a lot of fun for the few runs it took to get a victory.
do you think that the Iron Clad's card "Heavy Blade" would be a fair card to add? if it is, would it be such a far ask to have a reference to my username on it?
Yeah that's definitely the hardest Boss you can get! You can press esc (maybe twice in browser) to restart if you want, if that's what you mean by "end game".
Thanks for playing, I'm glad you're enjoying it! Hope the gains are good to you and you become an ABSOLUTE UNIT when you return.
This Giga Omega Yoke implosion is almost better than just being huge. It’s like going into scientific notation in Balatro. The flames on the Balatro numbers. I love the instability.
I know I'm kinda late to reply but the combo was 2 hands free cards, which allows you to cycle cards infinitely if you have a small enough deck, some card that I forgot the name of which gives you energy each time you energy every time you injure a muscle, and milkshake.
More Pain More Gain is busted. Also, i noticed that the cards that injure a body part work even on already injured body parts. So Feel The Heat and that other card that injures the arms in exchange of two cards can infinitely be used as long as there are enough 'draw more' cards in the deck. I'll try it next with the card that clears all injuries, since that was a limiting factor.
WOAH epic Gains! Yeah More Pain More Gain is definitely busted, might rework it to give flat Strength or a smaller multiplier.
Yeah the Hands-Free (Injure Arms) can end up with infini-draw, but any draw combined with a small deck and something like Feel the Burn (Injure for Stamina) or Pre-workout mix (Gain 3 Stamina) can end up with infini-draw.
Will either make it super rare so it's harder to pull off but fun when you do, or rework it somehow. Thanks for playing!

No, it really amused me :D

Thanks! That means a lot, glad it’s still cracking you up 40 runs deep 💪.
are the sounds arnold and mike israetel??? i think ive watched enough greg doucette to recognize that grunt anywhere lmfao
hahah those sounds are Sybersyn, but I love that it sounded like Greg Doucette to you. Love Arnold, I’m a big fan of Pumping Iron!
only 900 of that was the arms, who needs pain when you can skip it and gain
Woah! Nice score, thanks for playing! Your guy is looking giga-juiced.
low-key gonna get my mom to play this game!! (might get yelled at but it's gonna be worth it :3)
I HAD SO MUCH FUN PLAYING THIS GOOD ASS GAME
THANKS FOR PLAYING! HOPE YOUR ASS WAS HUGE
10/10 life changing experience would do again
Thank you! Glad the muscles changed your life lol.
this is the goofy ahh route i did
Yoo, awesome arms! Wp wp, thanks for playing!
i will literally suck you off if you change hands free back to working with injured arms
Hahaha, it was too strong I’m sorry lol. You can still do a similar strategy with pre-workout, feel the burn for stamina and meditate/yoga for draw and full body massage/surgery.
You can still draw easily, just not as easily.
Great game, I had a lot of fun with it and ended it off with an infinite glitch (the deep nap buff got so large that I was able to max legs with one use of iron legs)
yeah I did that too but I didn't go as far as you did just 300k because I didn't have too much time and my laggy ahh school Chromebook was about to explode
This was a lot of fun XD
Thanks!
teach me thy infinitum strategy
this works best with leg-end (beat the game with 2 different card decks (the the easiest two to beat with are Massochist and Juicer)) you need cards that give cards (preferred 2 hands-free) and feel the burn and then surgery and it works best with less than 10 cards.

The game was a bit confusing at first, but reading it through and playing a bit, it was easily understandable, love how crazy the characters get!
Thank you, I tried using the jankiest funniest AI art it would spit out! But I think if this goes forward as a bigger project I’ll use proper art.
Glad you stuck with it and got some crazy characters going haha, thanks for playing!
It's peak
Thanks!

As long as I made you laugh I did my job! Lol! I do plan on playing it again to see if I can win
It turns out you can decimate your arms without consequence (don't try this, it can overflow into negative gains)
hahah wow the overflow is awesome. I nerfed More Pain More Gain so I don’t think it’s possible anymore, but maybe it is if you have an infini draw set up. Thanks for playing!
I went infinite on this level with the help of "workout draw". For 2 stamina I could create 5 workout cards, and each one allows me to re-draw the red bull.
Yeah workout draw can get crazy! Thanks for playing <3
I got 4549 on one of my runs

10/10
Thanks so much! Sounds like some sick runs <3.
I got lucky enough to have 3 of the back buffs in one run, all having a 75% chance to triple my initial yield. I didn't take it as far as I should have, but I hit one workout for 8000 towards the end. The builds can get insane.
Yeah stacking some power cards gets insane!
Thanks for playing!
I am gonna see if an AI can beat this game
Did it win ?
it couldn't even get halfway after 19 runs lol
Just lost my Masochist build to the final boss (due to 3 bad hands and injuries[yes the nature of the build killed me]) I have it below if anyone wants to check it out

Thanks for posting the build so close to the W! Thanks for playing.

OMG that is beautiful! Butt only build! O_O
Hey Ross, thanks for playing!

Massive chest. Largest pectoral glands in the world.
Only ended a season early to help his mother.
Alpha male
Glorious pectorals, a true mother lover.
It didn't save my progress when I logged in to comment :(
It saved the competition I got to though. I was like 400 gains on chest.
Ah damn unlucky! Yeah the game resets when the browser reloads.
baki simulator
This is what a true purist looks like:
Brings a tear to my eye. Beautiful.
Didn't even stop shaking that thing to help your own mother.
I don't know how everyone basically "won" but I can't get past 405 really fun game but stupidly challenging gg.
Thanks for playing!

AI art is great. It allows for single creator to make card games which had higher access barriers prior.
Really fun proof of concept game. Especially loved how unbalanced your proportions can get as you get deeper and deeper into a run. Some things need work and balancing: the -1 strength per card used debuff basically kills any run. The AI art needs to be replaced before it becomes a final game. But there's a lot of great potential here and I had a lot of fun for the few runs it took to get a victory.
Thanks for playing!
Just changed the -1 strength per card to -1 warmup per card. Still is hard but not as bad.
Yeah if I keep going the AI art will be replaced!
Noo, don't replace it, the AI art is ridiculously funny. :D
Unfortunate that you used it in the first place.
I find this to be very closely related to Slay the Spire
was there some inspiration there or no?
BTW: great game so far, I love the physics.
Hey thanks for playing!
Yeah I love Slay the Spire. Silent is my favourite! You’ll notice Glutes are basically Shivs haha.
I think as the design matures, it will feel more unique and distinct, but starting with what I know and enjoy seems like a good approach so far.
do you think that the Iron Clad's card "Heavy Blade" would be a fair card to add? if it is, would it be such a far ask to have a reference to my username on it?
of course if that isn't possible no worries
still love the game!
I also see balatro in this game especially the whole left panel reminds me of it

TAAAAAAAANK!!!
The game is extremely fun!
ABSOLUTE BANGER 🗣‼‼‼‼‼‼‼🔥
Yo! The one and only Alpha Beta Gamer did a video on Get Yoked
That "-1 strength per card used" kills the vibe and the run. Especially when there's no "end game" option.
Aside from that this is just the weirdest, most entertaining game I've player in a while. I had a great time and I'm coming back to play it again!
Yeah that's definitely the hardest Boss you can get! You can press esc (maybe twice in browser) to restart if you want, if that's what you mean by "end game".
Thanks for playing, I'm glad you're enjoying it! Hope the gains are good to you and you become an ABSOLUTE UNIT when you return.
Got so absolutely yoked, only the limits of the mortal realm could hold you back. EPIC.
I'll add something in so you can get more YOKED.
What combo were you using to become so giga omega?
This Giga Omega Yoke implosion is almost better than just being huge. It’s like going into scientific notation in Balatro. The flames on the Balatro numbers. I love the instability.
I know I'm kinda late to reply but the combo was 2 hands free cards, which allows you to cycle cards infinitely if you have a small enough deck, some card that I forgot the name of which gives you energy each time you energy every time you injure a muscle, and milkshake.
WOAH epic Gains!
Yeah More Pain More Gain is definitely busted, might rework it to give flat Strength or a smaller multiplier.
Yeah the Hands-Free (Injure Arms) can end up with infini-draw, but any draw combined with a small deck and something like Feel the Burn (Injure for Stamina) or Pre-workout mix (Gain 3 Stamina) can end up with infini-draw.
Will either make it super rare so it's harder to pull off but fun when you do, or rework it somehow. Thanks for playing!
