📖 Story

Seven sumos have been summoned by King Yama. His dream is to make them the strongest team of sumos. For this, he trusts no one else than Angel as a trainer. Will the training sessions pay off?

🎮 How to play

🏋️‍♂️ Training

To become stronger the sumos need to train. They player can train the sumos in 4 categories (power, stamina, intelligence, dexterity). After each week, the sumos will have to fight against an opponent to test their progress. After the 4th week, the sumos need to fight their final battle.

🍚 Food

Training costs energy. You will have to feed your sumos to be able to continue the training. Visit the shop to buy food. Screenshot 2024-04-16 183518.png

💸 Jobbing

Food costs money. Make sure that your sumos earn some money on the side in order to buy food.


❤️ Thank you for playing ❤️

I think there's an error with the upload, there's a 404 not found. You should have index.html at the root of your .zip file.

Haha nice concept, it's always a pleasure to train my team of sumos. Managed to defeat Satan by splitting each character into a specific category (strength for the 1st, dexterity for the 2nd etc.). Overall had a good time, good job :)

A unique take on the theme, very creative!
Strange little game, I'll remember it for sure.

This game is just like me and my friends: busting our a*** at work, eating too much and having a good time.

Great game, maybe an explanation of the food would help.
Sometimes the sumos do nothing, I don't know if it's normal.

Really good entry

The concept was good, but the interface was very clunky to work with. Good job with the theme, and I liked the little sumo guys. Thanks for making the game.

It’s so visually appealing that I found myself just enjoying the view and the character movements, even without engaging deeply in the gameplay. The whole setup with the sumo team is both unique and humorous :)

Great job with the training animations, I found them very funny. The game is quite easy, it's easy to understand what to do, but the final boss completely destroyed me without giving a chance to my team, even though all of them had high stats.

I would prefer to have all stats on the same screen to compare them and make selection of next job easier.

Nice game! Good luck to your team with your future projects!

Loved the references throughout the game and the idle nature of combat, but the tab kept reloading due to memory constraints unless I rushed through the gameplay.

Also, Buu was tough as heck. Some of my guys had stats over 100 and he still bulldozed them easily

A bit unbalanced but I do love me a janky weard ludum game, and it has quite a lot of content as well! We also had an idea to make a game based on a SUMOning pun haha.

Great work!
