The art style and animation is really good however, there is little to no challenge scaling that hooks the player. Making the decision between life and score more prominent would be a way to improve.

Cool!

I really like the art style and animation. I think the idea for the game is good, but maybe it would be better if you take damage more quickly because games are quitte long now. I also enjoyed the soundtrack.

harry-damm 2019-04-29 14:45

Damn that soundtrack is rocking! Also love the visuals, especially the changing background. Would've loved to have some parallax effect in the bg, but works mighty fine as it is. And YES, that character's munching animation is great!

I like the concept well made !! the art style is also good ! check out my game too :)

I liked the art and the overall look of the game. It takes a bit too long for something to happen and I didn't really understand the goal. It would be nice to see more differences in the healthy and the non-healthy food.

fix your art

I really liked the Artwork but the "actual gameplay" is missing... and there is no way of restarting the level after i took the unhealthy path. :)

Nice game and nice take on the theme, I didn't feel like I had any control over what happened though, when I took only the fat path I got fat and died. When I took only the skinny path I got really fat and died. Nice graphics and sound.

Gameplay was a little confusing, but you got a lovely art style.

lemon 2019-04-29 19:32

I really like the artwork and audio, but I didn't really get the aim of the game and it took a while for anything to happen.

The art style is pretty nice, but it felt like I had very little control in the actual gameplay. The character would seemingly jump for no reason and I ended up getting stuck in front of a ledge with no option to do anything.

yojammerjammer 2019-04-30 06:20

I agree with most of the comments. The game is cute but it juts seems meaningless jumping around. But still cute!

shunaky 2019-04-30 06:21

I somehow dodged A vegetabe and ended up falling into the abyss... So... eat your vegetable, kids.

the game have a nice and funny art, it's concept is pretty good

vuvuzuellainc 2019-04-30 07:17

Game art is very lovely! I appareciate your work your the sound design and music! Great job man! eep the good work!

pseudobytes 2019-04-30 09:25

Haha I love that eat animations. I actually like the art in general. The gameplay itself was onestly a bit boring though, but a pretty cool game nonetheless.

oktarian 2019-04-30 09:30

Game art is fantastic! The game itself is a cool idea too. Encountered an issue whilst playing, i got stuck with this page http://prntscr.com/nimeon . Nonetheless fun!

sangemdoko 2019-04-30 09:31

The game is fun. The first time I tried I fell and the game just continued increasing my score non-stop. Not sure if a bug or the game doesn't have a death screen when falling off screen. I had to reboot the game to try again.

zimennik 2019-04-30 09:34

Good music! Concept is good, but I don't realy like realization. Nice art and animations tho =)

bnmkt 2019-04-30 09:38

@shunaky, @oktarian, @sangemdoko you three had the same issue, this is a bug caused by a bad level-design, i put a jump just before an invisible generative rectangle that i use to generate the world. Aaaand there is no screen death when you fall :(

duke 2019-04-30 09:54

The art is is definitely the better part of this game experience. I Really liked the animation and the mimic of the character.

I played the web-version and I had the feeling that something was wrong with build. My health never decreased and when I fell off the map, the game kept going until I refreshed the page. Didn't really understand the gameplay loop or what the aim was. The theme itself was a little obscure as well regarding the target theme.

jk5000 2019-04-30 11:02

The music and graphics is really good in this game. The gameplay is okay, but it fields like there is not much to do. Overall a fine LD game.

merlinds 2019-04-30 12:24

Art is a pretty fun and good idea with indirect controls but game a bit boring. Maybe some sort of QTE will increase interest.

adam-elaoud 2019-04-30 16:07

I really like the art and concept you've got here! The music definitely fit the game too, it really tied everything together. The controls felt a bit wonky though and most of the time while playing (even after 5 different run attempts) I encountered quite a few bugs where the character would jump when it felt like it wasn't supposed to and not jump when it was supposed to. Overall though, I enjoyed it, well done!

paulhocker 2019-05-01 04:56

the next path mechanic was a little wierd -- would be better to allow jump when player sees the platform -- i liked getting a big belly -- thanks for making it

jamesolivermusic 2019-05-02 18:18

I honestly didn't like not being able to control the character myself... What if I want to just eat junkfood all the time? I don't want lettuce... You have some nice artwork and animation, so perhaps improve the mechanics to make gameplay more involved.

enderswype 2019-05-02 21:22

the game somehow fitq the theme but tbh i don't understand the point of it, where are we going ? what's going on ? ... also, almost everytime i started a run i fell into a hole and that was it, stuck and have to reload the page

I can't imagine my life without food. I constantly try to spoil my family and myself with something tasty. I love talking about food. What is the most delicious meal you have ever tasted?

2022-11-27 15:32

I am ready not only to talk but also to eat delicious food. Right now I'm eating delicious [natural yogurts](https://europafoodxb.com/category-fresh-food/yoghurt/natural-yoghurts_34/), which I bought here. I don't know why, but lately I've been buying yogurts very often and not only from this site. I have discovered all the delights of supermarket delivery and am very happy.
