It whould be funnier when you could move further in direction

I made it to 166m, but it was mostly by chance. The idea is simple and good, but the realisation lacks on two points : way too short field of view to the top, that prevent the player to anticipate any coming obstacles (mines or apples), and way too short directional move, that prevent the player to avoid the rare coming obstacles he noticed just at time. Those two points makes the score mostly linked to random. Yet, surprisingly, it still was fun to play. ;)

Note : I suggest you rate some games, if you want to have enough votes to be rated at the end. ;)

Hey I played your game on stream last night and I had fun!

I liked the BMI aspect where the more you eat the harder it was to stay in the air and the flying pig creature was really funny!

One issue I found was that the apples were abit misleading in terms of being unhealthy - I soon found out that eating them slowed me down but this wasn't straight out of the box.

I personally didn't mind too much about the clicking of the Q and W keys although holding them would have allowed me to concentrate on the apples/spikeballs alot more.

A feature I would add to the post-jam version (if you continue) would be the addition of more food unhealthy food effects your BMI more such as highly calorific Doughnuts, Cupcakes etc and Bananas, Apples wouldn't effect it too much!

I had great fun anyway :yum: Your game had real charm!

Very difficult, need to be polished, but a good idea.

So my BMI goes up by 8 every time I eat an apple? Good to know, I'm gonna only eat cake from now on.
