The Extend-O-Glove is the first stretch goal for the Pixel Lincoln: Re-Election Kickstarter campaign, and in a way, not really even a stretch goal. The project funding goal is $1000 and if we reach that, Extend-O-Glove is unlocked. So if the game gets made, you get the glove. We all win!
You might be able to tell from the image already, but the sprite originated as an extension of the Chicken Cannon. In the video game, Pixel Lincoln has a boxing glove as a base melee attack, but loses that when his arm is covered by a log-firing cannon. So, while the ranged attacks were covered, he still needed a quick and fast way to attack enemies that are right in his pixelated face. And then the Extend-O-Glove was born. It just made sense that way.
The card is neat because we decided to go with 100% unique card abilities. Every single item and enemy in PL:RE has an ability that you've never seen before, and one that you wind see again in this expansion. The Extend-O-Glove has Push: Also damages an additional enemy, if it is directly behind the target enemy (the wording isn't final).
So, if there are two enemies in a row, each takes damage.
You could say that the first enemy was punched INTO the second, but I prefer to think the second enemy was punched THROUGH the first.
At the time of this writing, we are $505 away from unlocking the Extend-O-Glove. Check it out: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gamesalute/pixel-lincoln-re-election-expansion
