I liked the use of the theme! overall felt very well put together and fun to play. I had a hard time trying to guide the greedy bugger away from a pile of pizza's, got any tips? haha

I literally started giggling to myself while throwing couches at the fat guy. This was great. It was really satisfying to completely block him out from a couple pizzas and see him switch to a salad. Well done

@criggles haha ya. there's a bit of a bug where sometimes he just wont switch targets. it's based on the length of the navigation path to the food item. so try to make the line as long as possible. Thanks for playing!

Hilarious! And a good social commentary. Unfortunately it was hard to understand what it was I was actually trying to accomplish. The resource management without being able to actually manage your resources was frustrating. I would say that this game achieved what it was going for - it's funny, it's a nice poke at society, but it just isn't fun.

Very good work! I love the modeling! You are clearly talented in that area. I enjoyed the gameplay. Throwing couches was humorous, the game worked well.

I enjoyed the general idea of "Keep the guy healthy". It was especially good being able to deter him from going to a certain item just by throwing a blocker in the way. Unfortunately that's one of the hardest things to do. I thought I completely blocked him from being able to go somewhere, but the line was able connect.

My longest survival time is 120 seconds out of 5 games.

(Programming suggestion below feel free to stop reading) Not sure if you programmed this in, but calculate how long it should take to get to said item. If it takes the character more than that plus a buffer, have him ignore said item(Put it in a list of ignored). This may take a slight level of frustration on the player's part away but apply a level of balance you may want.

Thanks for checking out my game! I managed to play yours as well, although i only kept him alive for just over 110seconds. Its very hard to actually stop him from eating something bad, and hard to predict which food item he will go for, but i loved the concept a lot! Great work!
