Nice little concept - haven't seen anything like it before. Was a bit unclear where I had to go, but other than that - nice.

Such a fat, happy square. Good use of the theme. I think you get fat a little too fast though, almost un-flyable within minutes.

@mruniverse Yes, the balancing still needs some work but there was no time left at the end.

Felt sorry for my portly little guy as they fell to their death... A fun little game!

I like the use of the theme. Its hilarious watching the poor obese jet pack man struggle up the screen for another bite of food.

Nice game!

Nice work! Balancing the stats was difficult but enjoyable, and it was a little hard to tell where I was going sometimes, like another reviewer mentioned. Otherwise, really solid use of the theme and fun gameplay!

This game follows the theme in an interesting way: You need to eat to survive, however if you eat you will grow fat and eventually not be able to lift with the jetpack.

Well done! :)

@safrmo i will add some tutorial or some arrows to show the way the player has to go.

A very simple and fun idea, that fit game jam theme vert well. To this is a great first LD game. Well done.

Good work on finishing this. I agree with the other suggestions that you get too fat too quickly, but I understand the stress/time management aspect of the first jam - lord knows I struggled with that myself. Congratulations for finishing a project!

@mark-kennedy thanks for the reply. The balancing was really time consouming and at the end there was none of that...also wrapping up the game to more time then i explected.

Simple and clear.A lot of fun.It's a very good game.

The mechanics are nice, but is the fuel running out a bit too fast? Didn't feel like I was progressing much.

the-bm 2017-12-05 18:01

@mess110 yeah i still need to work on the balancing. There simply wasn't time for that at the end.

fashionbatman 2017-12-05 18:53

Man this is a a difficult game. Addicting though. I had fun, good job!

the-bm 2017-12-05 20:35

@fashionbatman thank you for the nice comment. I made it on purpose a little bit more difficult so the players won't simply rush threw the game.

tvance 2017-12-05 21:35

Not a bad game. Though I did find it confusing that the health bar is red but touching the red things is bad. Oh well, I learned from my mistake.

the-bm 2017-12-05 21:47

@tvance I wanted to add strawberry sprites to the red boxes, and tell the player that he is alergic to strawberries and because of that he would loose health. But at the end there was no time and by mistake the player will learn.

Thank your for the Feedback ! :smile:

This is a really great game. No complaints other than the fact that sometimes my fuel went down too rapidly and I couldn't get to a distant platform in time. Otherwise, this is great!

the-bm 2017-12-06 10:06

@justin-toyo well if you get fatter the jetpack needs to burn more fuel because of you increased weight.

Thanks for the Feedback :smile:
