He Who Runs the US of A by skettyNmeebs
The year is 2025. President Kanye West has just made all non-green energy illegal. After a year of smooth sailing the worlds top scientists discovered that current green technology is unfit to operate on such a massive scale. Through candle-lit nights and un-air conditioned days, men and women of science scramble to create newer, better tech. In the meantime, however, the land of the free is running out of power.
Enter the world's most powerful man.
You are Jackie Chan, and you alone possess the strength and willpower to revitalize our great nation. Armed only with a trusty pair of shoes and your family's human-sized hamster wheel, you must train yourself to run to produce enough energy to save the country. President Kanye sends you his blessings.
Godspeed.

PS: it is an understatement to say I am an amateur game dev. this is my third "finished" game, and it was the best I could do in the 72 hours I had. I didn't get to do like 2/5ths of the things I wanted to do, and the game is very barren because of it. All that said, I love this game dearly, and I thank you so much for even giving it a chance. I had way more fun this weekend than I ever could have imagined. This could score negatives and I will still write this off as a success. Thank you, Ludum Dare. Also, thank you to all my youtube subs who hung out on stream with me, it was real

Gameplay gives me flashbacks to south park's minigames D: (I'm not sure if it's a good or a bad thing).
On the other note, music track stopped after some time (I assume you didn't make it loopable or something). And it would help to get some clarification on each stat (readme file only explains endurance).
(and just in case you didn't know, if you want more people to see and rate your game, you should play and rate other people's games, as it will increase your score and give you more chance to be seen through search)
I don't know if you already do something like this, but as a tip for your next Jam, write down all the features you want to put in your game in a list, and then rank them from 'this is really important for the game to work' to 'I really want this in the game but the game won't technically be incomplete without it', and then start from the top. E.G. Is there something else you could have put in the game if you hadn't of spent time on multiple locations? By sacrificing some features in favour of others, sometimes you can focus on making your game better, rather than 'more', if that makes sense.
But again, really well done! If nothing else remember, practice makes perfect. (And also remember to make this game again someday when you're a super cool game developer, it'd be great fun! :grin:)
