Obby - Pump Up Your Muscles! 1 per second
You develop a novice prisoner in a gym where strength determines your progression and your place among others. At first you start with a very weak character, then you choose the exercises that increase his power, notably push-ups, sit-ups and pull-ups. Each useful action brings you closer to a better level, but the interest of the game mainly comes from how you organize this rise in strength. You must decide where to go, which activity to prioritize and when to interrupt one station to join another. Otherwise you risk wasting time in an inefficient routine. The goal remains simple to understand: become strong enough to rise in rank, but progression requires regularity and a minimum of anticipation.
Then the game pushes you to adjust your decisions according to your current situation, because not all activities are necessarily equally effective at the same moment. You can interact with different elements of the gym to train or to feed yourself, which creates a clear loop between action, improvement and resumption of effort. Failure does not take the form of a game abruptly interrupted; it is rather expressed by a slowdown, a poor choice of route or time wasted repeating an action without thinking about your priority. The variety of situations therefore comes from the order of your progression, your back-and-forth between exercise stations and the very visible difference between your appearance at the beginning and that obtained after many repetitions. You advance by successive decisions, with a clear objective: become bulkier, more effective and more respected. Have fun!
