Great game! - I really enjoyed it. I really got into problems when the trash filled and I realized apples are the lesser filling evil. I though still am not sure that if I hadn't been serving the alien, whether I would have been kept alive ...
Keep up the work!

Really good game! I was soo close at the 5th stage. Quite a nice engine, I like that you can push other items with the grabbed one ;)
Well done!

Thanks so much Endurion for the kind comments!
Very nice game! Very cool start screen. Maybe when introducing a new element the first thing that drops should be the new thing. When the quantum food was introduced it only occurred once at the end of the round, that was a little confusing. But overall very cool game!
Pretty fun and different game! Last level was a bit tricky but overall I think you could make the game more difficult :)
Well done!

@douwe-ravers very good point! I've been meaning to get around to implement that but I've been super busy and haven't gotten around to it. I'll try to add that, though somewhere in the future. Thanks for the comment!
@marcusnystrand yeah I think you might be right. I kept it on the easier side to not be frustrating. Thanks for the comment!
This was surprisingly fun. Nice music and graphics.

Great game ! I really enjoyed playing, it's very fun. I appreciate the different levels. Quantum food is a good idea ! Music is nice too.
This is great! First of all I love the title scene. It feels futuristic and really cool. The game system is great too. An extra twist is added by the limitation of trashcan volume and it's nice. Also music is gorgeous. Good job!

@flying-dog-fish Thanks a lot! I'm glad you liked it.
@valhalla Very cool that you enjoyed it! I tried to make it varied enough between the levels so I really appreciate your comment. It took me a while to do that quantum food, but I guess it paid off. :)
@notan-lemon Thank you very much! I thought about the trash can and whether it should just make food disappear, but I think I like it this way more. It adds a bit of tension. I'm glad you liked it, too!

I had a good deal of fun playing through this - the fourth and fifth levels were a nice level of difficulty, although I wouldn't have minded the game being longer (and having perhaps more elements); that said, for a game jam, it feels like this game hit all the essential pieces of what could make its idea work, so well done. The audio seems to have a lot of polish - like the little sound clip for winning or the sound effects for eating/throwing food offscreen; I like the background music as well, although it felt like it evoked a mood different from the rest of the game. Well done overall.

@meelo Yeah it would've been cool if I would have had the time to do a few more levels in there and maybe throw some added functionality to make it more intense. Maybe in a post-jam version, who knows? :) I really tried to do a polished version this time for LD, so it's great to hear that it makes a difference. Thank you very much for the comments and playing my game!

Idea and feeling of physics in the game is great. I enjoy the feeling of pushing a pizza using another pizza into the mouth of alien. Trash can management is also innovative. Soundtracks in game and after beating all levels are both nice. Great job!
I'd play this in VR too.
I solved the munchies! Haha, funny stuff. I loved the artwork, and how the game got increasingly more difficult. Nice game!

The text was very small and disappeared in the 2nd level before I could read it. Otherwise I loved it!

@cirno Thanks for the kind comments!
@ic-rainbow Hey, that's a fun idea! It could be quite nice actually in VR with 3d-objects.
@blobo Nicely done! Thanks for the comment and playing my game!
@fengol Yeah I should've implemented a wait for user input on those intro screens and made them bigger. Time just ran out. Thanks for the feedback and cool that you liked it!

This a very well-polished game! Nice title screen, cool graphics and sound. Simple mechanics, but they are fun for a while.
Haha that was funny ! Just a little glitch; at level 2, a pizza remained stick in the Alien's eye, and it can't eat anymore...

@lmb Thank you so much!
@pierallard Oh man. It's still doing that? Thanks for letting me know! I'll see if I can fix it.

This was awesome! I got the pizza stuck on his nose on level 2 and 3 and then it was a bit harder to get it in his mouth but it was quite fun to try to get it fit in under. Good job on the music and a really nice looking monster! :)
