Oh man, I love this. The food being synced up to the music is awesome, and everything just feels so satisfying. The way you gradually introduce new obstacles is intuitive, and the sudden increase in tempo when you go to space is a nice test of the skills you practice in the slower section. Really solid game!

Not a game to be playing at 3 AM :')

Really tight controls, and has a great rhythm. It's too hard to reach the end though!

jofra 2015-12-17 02:27

It works now!!!!! Good work!

This is great! You did a fantastic job with this. At first, I was like "mannnn one of these games..." then you showed me up by adding a lot of interesting spins to the game. Good job!

I was Billy.
I ate the sun.
10/10

Seriously though, the game was pretty nice. My complaint is that the non-food items aren't distinct enough. I feel the red outlines blend in too well, if they were white it might have worked. Also, I found everything blinking in and out of visibility every so often. Not sure if that's a glitch or just the game trolling me.

Very cool sprites and gameplay, smooth mechanics, I liked it!

My god, what a gem we have here. It's insanely fun for such a simple concept, but fuck me if those last few levels- and the space level especially, aren't the most difficult things I've ever played.

The visual design is great, it's clear from the getgo what you want to eat and what you should avoid, the music is a glorious epic tune fit for billy's epic quest to morbid childhood obesity and adds a fun rhythm to play to.

All around, it's a really well done game, super difficult but super rewarding when you finally beat it.

Couldn't find a reason to go lower than five in any category, congratulations guys you all did great work here.

weeping-rupee 2015-12-17 03:45

simple and fun. awesome job! the eating being synced to the music was very satisfying.

When I first saw the picture posted as a screenshot I was expecting something that was going to be shovelware or just a joke screen submission, but when I booted up the game I was really, genuinely surprised at how fun it felt. The red around the negative pickups is a little unclear and some things throw you into unwinnnable situations with dodging beams and the negative items, but damn. This has a surprising amount of kinetic feedback that was really unexpected. Very fun, surprisingly so! 5 stars for usage of both themes, and well I must say. Great stuff.

It's fun and polished but graphics could've used more work.

liquidmedia 2015-12-17 04:04

Nice work on the sprites and game play

brandloose 2015-12-17 04:06

Really liked the game, only negative was the ending level was sooooooooooo long.... Too long. I ended up quiting. Get some better art and that game would be awesome. 7/10

xodene 2015-12-17 04:27

Really fun entry. The music is really bright and set the mood well and I liked the sound effects. The first level is indeed too long, it'd be a lot more fun if it was shorter.

powerspark 2015-12-17 04:32

VERY well made, congratulations! Amazingly fun gameplay, music, and mood! The thing you should change is make the non food items distinct. Great job!

mrjoshuamclean 2015-12-17 04:42

It's the Chansey minigame from Pokemon Stadium! Well, advanced a bit. Cool stuff. The music is fun and catchy, and it's nifty that the catching is timed to the music.

Would have been nice to see a list of possible falling things and which were good/bad/powerups. Didn't take long to figure it out, but would have been good to get a heads up. Otherwise, great stuff!

superpokeunicorn 2015-12-17 05:11

I like the wacky way things ramped up. Definitely exceeded my expectations. A funny ludum dare game that plays well?!?

urbanhelsing 2015-12-17 21:15

Simple and fun

hotboxgames 2015-12-17 22:20

Damn, I just had to press D at the start to see what happened xD I wish burgers and sweets rained from the sky irl. Fun little game wit a catchy jam, great work! :D

inbetweengames 2015-12-17 23:45

Absolutely insane, loved it. Super difficult, but once you got the rhythm it was addictive. Crazy spinning is crazy.

anv 2015-12-17 23:48

Surprisingly funny for a such a simple concept. Gets quite challenging later in the game.

daveh 2015-12-18 00:58

Excellent use of the themes. Really liked the music. Can't get past the city, it's damn hard (in a good way!)

shrapx 2015-12-18 01:01

this is fun, frantic, with energetic music (key change!) and beeps that are on the beat. lots of crazy pickups, funny character, pixels! and planes and aliens wow. Great game! i got up to the big city before i lost :(

mukult 2015-12-18 22:07

Ohh damn...only windows link... :|
Please try to get mac/web builds too , if possible :)

azureaspect 2015-12-18 22:11

*motion sickness on the space level blaaargh*
Game was very awesome before the space level!

crazyal02 2015-12-18 22:24

Funny, but gets irritating right around the city area. Dangerous items aren't distinct enough, and powerdowns are super irritating. Also, the way that the background is scaled up looks really bad and blurry, nearest neighbor scaling would've looked better.

boxedmeatrevolution 2015-12-18 23:43

The music sells the game. So happy and beat driven :3 I had fun.

superdisk 2015-12-19 07:52

Pretty sweet game, although very difficult in later levels. I enjoyed the Mario Paint plane sprite!

felilix 2015-12-19 08:16

Nice, I liked the number of features you added to a simple game, the screen spinning was so cool and unexpected :D

elliotfiske 2015-12-19 08:22

Fun game! It gets very visually noisy in the late-game, but the controls and mechanic is great.

The 'powerup' wasn't super useful, however, it kind of made things even more complicated.

The fact that the music syncs up to the food sounds is very clever and satisfying.

simon-parzer 2015-12-19 11:02

I could hardly see the alien thingies because of their color

jezzamon 2015-12-19 12:19

Nice job! The 2 button controls worked well for this game.

I think the timer aspect of the game was a bit unsatisfying... I think there are better losing conditions than the time running out, because when you lose it's like "oh, I guess I lost", and if you are slow at the start then there's not much you can do.

Fortunately when I died I tried again and I managed to beat it :) I had fun playing this game, thanks for making it!

Simple game but really funny
