I wish there was an indication that 100 hunger was a fail state. Anyway love the music and animation. Jumps are super fun too. (Also I just drank a lot of soda and then went for a run, so I can totally relate)

The ballet jumps are hilarious haha!

You game is good at conveying a mood and scene. It was fun but I'm unsure on what the actual challenge is? Is it to get power ups so you can run a longer distance? Because after learning to jump over the first obstacle, it was not a problem to get over the other obstacles. I like your graphics style and music it fits your game nicely.

Thank you all for the comments!

The objective of this game, as an arcade game is to just run longer as possible.

You have two "stats", hunger and fat. Every time you eat something the hunger decreases, given that "bad" food will decrease it more but add more to the fat. In opposite the "good" food does not decrease very much the hunger but will decrease the fat. Less fat means longer jumps and more distance covered.

I'm glad you liked my ballet jumps xD

Very cool game, I like how you have to strike a balance between keeping fat to a minimum while also making sure that you don't get too hungry. Really nice pixel art on the runner, as well. Well done!

1696 highscore. Cool game, this reminds me, I need to do some sports. Thx

The jump was a little to floaty for me, but I still had fun playing. The music fits great. Good job!

I had fun. The random drops of burgers/water/carrots/cola made it difficult to strategically pick what to pickup and what to leave, but in general it was enjoyable.

The music is awesome.

Good music. Jumping feels a little floaty, but overall a good game and fitting to the theme!

tim-eriksen 2017-12-06 22:02

This was a pretty cool game! The music was nice, though I felt it got a bit repetitive fast. I also thing the graphics would have looked better if you had the same resolution (pixel size) for the player and the obstacles. All in all it is a job well done! :)

Quite simple, but it's better to make something simple and make it good, than to set the goal too high. I like it! :)

The hunger x fat conflict was a nice idea, though I found it *much* easier to "die" of hunger than of fatness. Suggestion: add some information about how hungry and how fatty I can get before dying. You don't even have to use fancy bars, just showing "Hunger: 25/100" would work. These things helps us players to understand what is going on and what we must prioritize. Music is very good! :-)

All in all, a nice simple game.

The idea is pretty good, the game is simple but very fun, the music is good and overall is a great game !

Super fun theme.

I like the simplicity of this game, and it fits the theme okay. The graphics were all over the place and had NO defined style at all, could have been better. The music was good, and I like how you had to strategically balance which items you should pick up. The jumping is WAY too floaty, and the game never really increased in difficulty. Overall, pretty decent.

Cool & simple; was fun to control, and the theme made itself apparent very subtly. Good job!

grostonton 2017-12-14 21:21

Nice music, the idea is simple, ok. But that works very well. good job !

Simple, well made game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 40 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2J0D0dmydc
