PS: There's an "ending".
Your dash mechanic was a lot of fun to use! I also loved the graphics - MagicaVoxel was a great choice and the dungeon felt very interesting. It was hard to tell when you would die and when you wouldn't, though; dashing into an enemy might mean you're too fat to dash a second time and defeat them. Overall, though, fun!
Argh! I suck! :-) Didn't get to the end but I'll try to revisit later. Great mood with the music.
I really like the voxel look, the main mechanic (slashing and giving weight) was a bit confusing at first but you quickly get used to it and after that it's really fun!
A little hard to get used to the controls, but once you do it's fun.
This is awesome. The idea is amazing. Once you figure out what's happening, it's a really fun idea. I think it one potential change you should consider is making it so that you don't HAVE to kill all of the enemies, so you have the option of just hitting them with some fat and then running. Overall, congratulations on a unique entry!
Noice. I like the voxel graphics and the idea is certainly unique
Cool mechanics! I love blinks/dashes in games like these. Couldn't make it to the end but I might try again. The fighting mechanics need a bit more polish, but I understand that there's not infinite amount of time for that :) Sometimes I felt that if I just dash endlessly at the enemies, I can't lose. Sometimes I just die instantly. Graphics are great and music/sound effects nice too. Good job!
You said that there was an ending, but I can't seem to get past the forcefield thing in the room with the three monsters :(. Based on what I've seen so far, though, I really like it :D
EDIT: I just figured it out! This may be a good note for future games, though! A bit more of a tutorial may be a good option. I know that sometimes it is a choice to exclude the tutorial, and I think it can be done, but it takes time, so for a game jam like ludum dare, I think it's best to include a tutorial. (Says the guy who forgot to include a tutorial xD)
Nice voxel art and music! The gameplay needs very quick reflexes. There a small mistake: You can defeat almost all enemies just dashing continuous (even at full HP). This game probably works better with lives. Anyway, good game!
My record was picking the key.
Really liking this one. Had a lot of fun playing it. Died to the ring of them that spawned after picking up the key a number of times. After a while I felt it was best to stay lean, but it did certainly carry some risk to it. Well done!
Nice game! Loved the voxel art and combat mechanics, it's pretty fun. The first run was a little though for me when a lot of enemies appeared, but then I got used to the dash and the experience improved a lot. Great job, congrats!
I liked the concept, it is well integrated into the editing theme and the game is well developed. I think that the modification of the movement can cause a little frustration in the player, because it modifies the rhythm of the game, it is important to test several balances because I realized that I was slow very fast. Congratulations for the game.
Gostei do conceito, está bem integrado ao tema da edição e o jogo está bem desenvolvido. Acho que a modificação da movimentação pode causar um pouco de frustração no jogador, pois modifica o ritmo do jogo, é importante testar diversos balanceamentos pois percebi que fiquei lento muito rápido. Parabéns pelo jogo. :flag_br:
Nice game feel, simple and well executed.
Also implements the theme very well.
But I basically always shot some bullets when I was too slow so you aren't really punished for being too fat, maybe making it so you can't always just fire bullets to loose weight would be a more definitiv way of enforcing the theme.
Great interpretation of the theme, congratulations!. I liked the mechanics and the controls ;)
Interesting idea. I always fired off most of my hp to move around fast.
The mechanics in this are pretty innovative, and it worked well. I had a lot of fun playing it, nice job! I do feel like if you get grouped up on, then you die REALLY fast, making it maybe a little difficulty spike-y. But besides that, this was a really good entry.
I like the gameplay, very polished and the aesthetic is fantastic! I liked the risk/reward for unloading bullets to gain a longer dash and found it to be a very well done take on that concept! We've seen a lot of "more power makes you slower" mechanics but this mixes them very well. It feels great to dash through enemies, but the gun doesn't feel quite powerful enough to me considering it takes a lot of sacrifice to use, both speed and health wise. I feel like this is a minor balancing tweak and perhaps add a more satisfying particle effect when you hit stuff :)
Cool mechanics and nice art style, great entry!
Cool game, I was terrible at it though. I liked the voxel art, very nice.
I wasn't too sure what shooting was for other than losing protein - does it hurt the enemies?
The dash felt really satisfying and it was interesting that the distance was tied to protein (though I'm not sure what that was for outside of health). Can't put my finger on it, but it's either that the balance was a little off, some additional feedback was required, or both.
Really nice to see more 3D games this year :)
Thanks for all those feedback guys! The game isn't completely balanced I know, some people say it's easy if you keep your health full but I honestly don't think you can beat it this way. I personally like to keep my health low and have long dashes around. It's a tradeoff between speed and vulnerability, if you make any mistakes dashing you're dead.
The gun sure seems useless, it's supposed to be used to slow down monsters but in the end I too just use it to get slimmer and faster again. Also, it was supposed to have a boss at the end that you would beat only by making him fatter and fatter with the gun until it explodes... but I din't had time for that.
A lot of people seemed confused about the mechanics and I guess that having a little tutorial would really help things there.
The theme isn't that great either, I just draw some random stuff and then tried to make things fit together. I'm no artist. Thinking back into the theme I'd go with a magnetic armor and robotic enemies that drop scraps that get dragged by your own armor, thus, making you heavier. Your scrap gun would make them slower and you lighter, but with lower defense. Damn, why didn't I have this idea before? (I'm not even sure I'd be able to make descent artwork for that)
Anyway, up till now I don't know of anyone who could beat the game. I even offered a beer for my coworkers to whoever beat it first... I guess the hard fun I tried to achieve was just too hard for a not so attractive game ;P
Really nice game, diggin that aesthetic style! Maybe would've worked even better as an orthographic axonometric view? Would love to see that! Well done :clap:
Really nice work! I really like the movement mechanic since it's something that I haven't seen all that often. I do think it takes way too many bullets to defeat the enemies but otherwise everything works really well!
I enjoyed this a lot, great job! I love that voxel-ly art style, it looks great :) The gameplay is a lot of fun and the dash attack feels really satisfying to use when you're not very heavy. However, I found the game really confusing at first; I would have appreciated a tutorial to make it easier to understand the game.
I think the best way to stay healthy is to take CBD supplements and foods. In fact, for some reason, many people are skeptical about CBD, but I'm confident in the benefits of this supplement. I think the article https://www.neurogan.com/blog/cbg-benefits/ will help dispel your doubts. When I read about the benefits of CBD, I thought I should definitely try it.
Th fot it its really cooL!!!!! https://www.datemyage.com/dating-an-older-man/
Thanks to the feedback in the comments, I also decided to try some of the cbd supplements. I often see positive reviews about [CBD oil for Sale](https://www.laweekly.com/cbd-dosage-guide-how-many-drops-of-cbd-oil-should-i-take/), so I thought it would be quite logical to start with oil. In general, I can say that this is a really cool remedy that helps to cope with various ailments well. There is also dosage information on the internet, which can be important for first-time CBD oil users.
I drank coffee and cannabis for about a month since I just couldn't take the oil. And my doctor prescribed me a supplement, I realized that you can mix it with coffee, as there are no contraindications.

I found https://hub420.shop/product-category/california-thc-flowers/ and brewed them to add to my coffee later. Despite almost opposite effects, CBD and caffeine turned out to be a very interesting combination. For one thing, caffeine blocks the ability of the receptors to interact with adenosine. On the other hand, CBD delays its ability to bind to adenosine after the effects of caffeine wear off.
