Fun little platformer. I became fat and died playing! Several times!

Nice responsive visuals on the character with the calorie amount. Nicely done on the theme also.

The idea for this game is great! The movement could be a little more fluid but the level design works very well. A couple animations playing at the wrong time here and there, but no major glitches or bugs. It was a lot of fun!

Funny theme! Hanging around naked while eating fast food.

Really like the music and sounds. Nice animations, and the game idea fit so well on the theme, great work on that game, buddy =D.

Interesting theme. Great to be inspired by your own experiences.

I can't get past level 3! :( Well done though, cute animations and funny idea. Jumping is a little floaty.

Interesting concept!The artstyle is colorful and cute,and the gameplay was fun.Good job!

Levels are cruel and unforgiving... Loved it.

I liked how the different foods had different impacts.

I see I'm not the only one to take this interpretation on the theme. The game is fun, and the art creates a nice mood. My only complaint with this game is that it gets too difficult too early. After several attempts, I just couldn't beat the third level. Also, I wish the umbrella effect lasted longer. It reminds me of the sheet in Alladin for SNES.

Well made!

Awesome platformer! Its quite a funny site to see your character blow up from CALORIES. Neat graphics and was an overall cool game to play!

sholf 2017-12-04 07:39

That's hilarious. I love how the sprite changes as the character gets more and more obese. Well done!

cool idea and it works well! I was having a tough time on the cavern level. SO MANY ANGRY CHEESEBURGERS

azlen 2017-12-04 11:12

Oh my god.

bigmetre 2017-12-04 11:58

super funny take on the theme.

are-sundnes 2017-12-04 12:02

This is really funny :D

oxrock 2017-12-04 12:05

Silly and fun implementation of the theme, thumbs up.

jons-games 2017-12-04 12:08

Interesting take! Very hard! it got real hard real quick as soon as you ate a few things.

Took a while to get that space was umbrella since you could breeze past it in the beginning. Maybe in the second level have some help text there?

mess110 2017-12-04 12:09

Gj respecting the theme!

kashif 2017-12-04 12:09

Great and funny game. I got stuck in the 2nd level coz I was too fat and couldn't jump. :P

zinkler 2017-12-04 12:12

Ok, now I hate hamburgers.

captaindreamcast 2017-12-04 12:13

Nah man, I can't get behind the idea that spikes make me fat, all those saturday morning cartoons taught me that they pop people.

I can tell you had a lot of fun designing those levels and it really shines through. Spikes as the bounce and golden apple as the landing pad, that's the kinda thing that makes you go, "how'd he come up with that?". Great stuff.

importantcreations 2017-12-04 12:22

Nice Idea! But apples do also have some calories ;) small improvement: Limit the framerate, its normally just one line of code

r2d48 2017-12-04 13:14

You made me laugh at the secret passage point Cqlories.PNG

javicepa 2017-12-04 13:41

Nice and fun! You could make the player lose fat if it runs for a while also :D

siarhei-rakuts 2017-12-04 14:10

The running burger made me nervous :joy:

terryd98 2017-12-04 18:00

Thanks for all the nice comments and constructive criticism everyone! I just noticed while play testing my game that the game crashes when you finish the last level and the credits roll but it is fixed now. Please do report any bugs!

gris 2017-12-04 18:32

Really funny game that fits the theme perfectly. I didn't read about the apples ingame. Was it there? I kept on getting fatter hahaha. Congrats on the humor!

kraftkar 2017-12-04 21:25

Good job! It's a somewhat twisted idea, exploding, having food chase you, getting too fat to go to the gym. I also had to realize myself when I couldn't get to the gym anymore and give up... which is kind of horrifying given the real-world parallells. Nice use of theme :)

korpokrowa 2017-12-05 13:51

Avoiding burgers and pizza pieces made this game really sad. Besides of that, I really like it :D

ryfi 2017-12-10 04:29

Needs work, it's hard to move when you are too heavy and impossible to beat in some cases, there should be a calorie burning thing (like walking a lot) because there isn't always an apple, and the movement is awkward at times. Good idea and fits the theme well!
