Dave's Diet

Hello There,

I absolutely loved your game all around. The art is really nice, the title screen is great and made me laugh. Super clever concept regarding the theme and all around interesting idea to play as the food itself. The music was also peaceful and fits the vibe.

The one critique that I have about this game is that the movement with the food feels a bit fast and the panning is fast as well making it a little dizzy/hard to play. Overall super solid game my first 5/5 rating on everything. Great work :D

Super fun concept and funny idea! :smile:

Aaahaha)) It's simple, addictable and well done game.

fun concept, although i was able to escape the level somehow... Screenshot (239).png

I envy you, because a could've come up with an idea half as interesting as this! Though I'd agree with @syafire that the controls are rather sensitive, I also agree that the music does manage to fit in with an idea so wacky.

And as it turns out, I'm not good at avoiding Dave, that unhealthy prick. Eh, I guess I'm not really above him. Though I was able to completely leave the house and fall out of the world.

Very good work on your part!

I like the concept, and changing the active "PC" gave me some Lost Vikings nostalgia.. Very well done

I really enjoyed playing this one! Although I understand you didn't make any of the art or music yourself, some credit has to be given for the choice- it all creates just the perfect mood! My only critiques would be:

1) The movement. I understand it was probably to add some spice to the game but the sheer slipperiness feels very unnatural. Maybe reduce the slipperiness at the cost of the movement speed to compensate?

2) I felt the connection to the theme was quite loose, seeing as it's very much possible to "win" the game and not delay anything at all.

That said, as I mentioned earlier, I had a lot of fun with it, so good job!

@syafire thank you for playing and for the feedback. I agree, I'll definitely add a mouse sensitivity option next time.

asize7shoe 2022-04-09 15:39

@quasar098 aha yes, would probably help if I remembered to put the front door on. I'll try and remember that for Dave's Diet 2: Electric Foodaloo.

@arihan10 thank you, this was my first go at a not-spaceship character controller so your feedback is really appreciated.

Hopefully as I improve at implementing character controllers I'll be able to spend more time on theme.

Glad you had fun.

The game's idea is very cool, and fun. It is very amusing to say the least when you try to loop him. I loved the design of the graphics, Dave is looking mighty fine if you ask me ;), but I have a little constructive criticism: the movement is a bit wacky, and the mouse sensitivity can not be changed (I saw that you noticed this, but i thought I would say it). The theme doesn't really fit, but it was overal a good little game.

I loved the look of the game. The scale of the game even just on a technical level is actually quite impressive. Well done!

I loved this!!

First of all: Title Screen. Haha! Love me some sexy Minecraft beach boys ;D seriously though, I like it when a bit of work is put into that, it's important and a bit of work and thought put into it gets you a long way!

The graphics are generally nice, amooth colours, although because the player is so small, the things could be a bit more highpoly or maybe have a texture applied (so like, just any sort of pattern, like seamless paper texture, (so a white/bright one) and then you can still change the colour in unity, that would give it a cool handmade look maybe :D

The idea I loved soooo much!!! Really amazing! had so much fun while playing this!

I just felt like the hitboxes miiiight need a bit work, as when I was running away I got stuck a lot and sadly often did not make it. But I managed to save the burger!! :D

I find it really interesting how Dave behaves :) How exactly did you program him? :)

All in all, a very successful jam entry! Congrats on finishing this jam on your own!

I loved the chill vibe with the relaxing music and the animation in the startmenu xD

Great take on the theme! The gameplay is simple but fun :)

Overall a great entry :)

Yay! it took a couple tries but I saved Dave's diet :) It was a fun and simple game, you've done a really great job with the artwork and animations in the main game and title screen. Good stuff!

I managed to survive as the donut and escaped beyond the bounds of the house. While I was playing I was thinking "mate don't do it dave". Quite a fun little game even though it is too easy to get stuck and I would have never thought that a donut could have such heavy steering.

Dave hunting me down gave me the chills, man. His figure ain't summer ready anymore. Great job :D
