So if you eat junk food, you get Happiness but lose Humanity, and if you eat healthy food, you get Humanity back but lose Happiness. Can't lose too much Happiness OR Humanity, or you lose.

It actually ended up being pretty fun to try to balance those in real-time with randomly-generated food, and I like how the graphics matched up with that mechanic.

Two problems. For one, I'm not sure if there's a way to keep your character alive long-term or not; you seem to have a decreasing pool of Happiness and Humanity no matter how you play it. In a game like this, you should be screwed by the increasing difficulty of the game. Stuff like, "foods with more extreme effects," and "a faster conveyor belt." Not a de-facto timer.

Two, I just don't like the look of it. I get it's tough to do better in the time we have to make these, though, so that's not such a big deal.

A fun little mini-game with a funny concept, done mostly-well. I liked it!

very out there in terms of concept. one of the more unique ones i've seen so far! wish it had some type of timer or points so i was working towards something though. great job. cant wait to see what you come up with for next LD

I really like the hook of balancing happiness against humanity. It speaks to me on a very personal level. your game caused me to do some very deep soul searching.

fantastic lol. not sure if there's any real 'winning' but fun little toy to mess with.

Interesting concept and good graphics. It'd be nice to have a timer/score based on how long you survived or how many things you ate (to compare game-to-game how you were doing), and to make it more obvious how much certain foods cost/gain.

Nice :-). Takes a while, but not too long to figure out what's going on, then the difficulty ramps up nicely. And it's like... so true.

Love the music.

Love the look of the game. Simple and effective! Didn't expect the shapeshifting- duh, really cool! Talk about product placement!

Good music and challenge. I liked the game mechanics...

I do not know if you can reach the end of the game.
Healthy foods are not so bad... Hahahahahahahaha.

YOU ARE FOOD.

Fine by me!

I liked the humor and the visuals in this one, pretty cool making a game about a popular saying and taking it literally xD.

Cool entry, good luck!

Not much depth in terms of gameplay, but great humor and graphics! Good message too.

Very unique game concept! This is a weird but funny game, I liked it!

There needs a scoreboard, and maybe like a list that shows what food gives what bonusses

finlal 2016-05-04 16:38

ahah i was not expecting this X) Love the different faces/wierd stuff that each food do the character.
GJ!

Love the audio pick of this game. I thought the balance between happiness and humanity was a little off. I felt that there was no way to maintain both at an acceptable level for a long time. And in the end, it could be nicer if the final results were displayed.
