Music is so cool)

bigtasty 2025-10-06 22:44

Yo, as a bodybuilder myself, I can say that the game is crazy realistic!

tommeh 2025-10-06 22:47

Wow. This game is absolutely incredible. Brimming with amazing art and super funny cutscenes. Easter eggs, many character design, fun gameplay. This game has everything. Really impressive what you have done in a weekend! Definitely one of my fav orite games this jam

psevdonim 2025-10-07 01:27

The game is truly both funny and crazy at the same time — a unique experience. It’s impossible not to praise the amount of work put into it — the fact that it even has cutscenes deserves respect! And a thumbs up for the happy ending xD

jcourt 2025-10-07 06:09

That was definitely an interesting happy ending. The gameplay is pretty quick and simple, but the art (including cutscenes) is really fantastic!

johncast123 2025-10-07 07:37

This is epic bro. The cutscenes are so funny and the alien at the end... Let's just say, I had a fun night XD jokessssss

nexyisan 2025-10-07 08:19

It's a really cool and fun game, it's a shame you can't lose. I thought someone would be able to eat us, but it turned out that they wouldn't.

d-demetori 2025-10-07 08:39

That’s funny! Haha, I love the art — it really makes you want to play more.

mc-shopot 2025-10-07 09:38

Literally me. Fun gameplay, but I’d love to see the option to eat cats added. The trap beat in the background sets the tone for the game! By the way, where can I get 18+ art of this alien girl?

vrex 2025-10-07 10:29

Found out that I can click cats with mouse only on second walkthrough :D Character kinda clips to walls/obstacles periodically. Wish there would be some enemies or hazards on levels btw.

Music, art, cutscenes is great though. Really solid entry overall, nice job <3

moonblast 2025-10-07 12:15

The art style and animation are incredibly cool and humorous. It occasionally freezes up, but I figure it's just a minor glitch.

jorbits 2025-10-07 12:19

Fun little game with cool cutscenes. Nice art and sounds.

feraligatr 2025-10-07 12:21

Very fun game, I had some nice laughs when I found out you can chunk a human, a cow and an alien in just one bite. The ending also got me unexpected with that hilarious art.

Overall very simple gameplay with simple goals, playable in a few minutes, to see it all.

patuwu 2025-10-07 12:33

This game hypnotized me to play more and moooreeee. Good job!

mj12 2025-10-07 12:39

Just FYI, I have nothing to do with your cat

jawdan 2025-10-07 13:24

Fun and humorous! Nice work!

kotolazer 2025-10-07 14:21

A very fun game :) I like that it feels complete and has an interesting storyline

dubiousduck 2025-10-07 17:02

GOATed! very polished and most importantly funny. had a really good time playing this

ather 2025-10-07 18:05

Happy ending ! bulk.PNG

6knowledge 2025-10-07 19:25

I'm so hungry... I could eat... A cow? Quite the banger of a game, thus far the highest rating on the humor counter.

ueighti 2025-10-07 19:27

The game is hilarious, especially the cutscenes. It reminded me of WarioWare. Loved the art style! Good Job!

wolderado 2025-10-07 20:12

This was way too funny haha. Loved the ending :smile:

maytch 2025-10-07 20:50

Okay that was hilarious. The graphics and sound are awesome too. I must admit I clicked onto it because of the alien girl. Glad to see there was a happy ending there.

tercs 2025-10-07 21:14

Beautiful art and cool concept! I really like the alien girl!!!

graebor 2025-10-07 21:42

Really nice job! The "skip" button made me laugh, you got me!

gamebuilder 2025-10-07 22:09

Too bad we can't see more of the girl — she is the best part of the game. That being stated, I had fun and really enjoyed the graphics. One of the better games here, and it's in the spirit of Ludum Dare. The artwork is fantastic. Keep making games.

notsu 2025-10-07 22:18

Very fun ! Great graphics and ambiance !

purrseus 2025-10-07 22:20

Sometimes, we forget that no intricate mechanics are needed, to create an insanely fun and engaging game. An absolute blast to play!!

The art and cutscenes were amazingly well done, such a funny game!

flinge 2025-10-07 22:33

Great visuals and cutscenes! And that ending — everything a true man could dream of.

I just felt there wasn’t quite enough gameplay variety between levels, aside from the visuals.

gmiss 2025-10-07 22:42

It was REALLY cool, I finished it in one breath, I was very pleased with the visuals and the soundtrack kick's me hard. At the end there was a smile left on my face - great experience! (cinema aliens deserve a special mention)

hank-ather 2025-10-07 22:55

I couldn't stop laughing the whole time. Fantastic.

re-markable 2025-10-07 23:34

What a banger. Although my immersion broke when I wasn't able to eat the cars. This guy clearly didn't want to save his cat hard enough

dianavi 2025-10-07 23:44

Wow your game is so cool ! I love your style

dining-philosopher 2025-10-08 00:12

Amaaazing, this game has me smiling. Really funny and well put together.

debugman18 2025-10-08 00:58

Really fun. Good music, silly art, and cute cats.

olddog 2025-10-08 03:01

The game's visuals and animation details are outstanding, and the story is full of humor. Unfortunately, the content is rather short — I finished it pretty quickly. Still, it has great potential, and I’m really looking forward to the full version.

wakobu 2025-10-08 06:52

Weird and funny game! I love the artstyle and the weirdnes of the game :laughing:

killryusha 2025-10-08 07:00

It's really weird, but I love that)

marudziik 2025-10-08 07:29

Well done! Music makes this game, but the humor is something that stands out here as well. I enjoyed gameplay, I think the graphics are awesome, consistent and funny. The animations are top-notch. Loved the surprising ending.

I tried to find an area for improvement and honestly it's not easy to find one - maybe collisions could use some minor tweaking (right at the beginning of the alien ship level). Theme-wise it's a little bit of stretch, but the mood makes it up for me. :)

Congrats, great entry!

harujam 2025-10-08 08:54

I love this! Also: It was good idea to play this during the lunch break. Also nr.2: how did the cat make it to the alien space ship?

uniowl 2025-10-08 09:28

alien goth girl... save me...

save me alien goth girl

squashi 2025-10-08 12:48

yoo art looks great and it's fun to play, good work! there isn't much to say honestly, the game delivers!!

gamesplusjames 2025-10-08 13:27

The whole vibe of this game was really cool! Loved the art and it was really fun to play. Great job!

ellaris 2025-10-08 13:44

Great game, love the music the art and the cutscenes. The only things I could point out would be that the easter egg is easy to miss the first time (had to do a second playthrough) and the lack of nay obstacles stopping or at least slowing the player down from munching, munching on people was hilarious.

robert18 2025-10-08 17:00

Love this one

catusfelony 2025-10-08 17:06

I don't quite get why the X/Y numbers are in the wrong order, but yes this is the kind of thing I'd do to save a pet cat too.

Very fun entry! Not sure how I'd feel if my cat turned into a hot alien girl, though!!!

jim-jagers 2025-10-08 17:16

art is great

el-pepi 2025-10-08 17:19

Simple yet fun game. Graphics and sounds are really good!

mr-mesmer 2025-10-08 17:22

Это хорошая вайбовая игрушка. Мне кажется, её надо делать как idle игрушку на рабочий стол. Чтобы человек работал, но от его движений мышки и кнопок клавиатуры главный герой где-то там на фоне бегал и всех ел.

kitira 2025-10-08 17:26

Funny game! Also the art style and music is really cool. :)

stefaink 2025-10-08 17:59

neuron activation

evil23 2025-10-08 18:13

Nice game, only downside I could find is when you walk around obstacles, you sometimes get stuck on the corner which is a bit annoying. Apart from that, great game!

kinn 2025-10-08 18:14

Wow thats some really good art and music! loved the skip button haha!

image_2025-10-09_021430129.png

keith-wang 2025-10-08 18:20

Really good art and story. I love how I can just eat everything and everyone :) The alien girl is cute too.

l6ria 2025-10-08 18:32

absolut cinema

artificer 2025-10-08 18:43

The art is funny, that combined with the music and fast paced story really reminded me of Turnip Boy commits tax evasion. Silly fun, but that's perfect :smile:

michlau 2025-10-08 19:10

always wanted to try out cannibalism

mololo 2025-10-08 19:39

The art looks soo good and the game is very funny. I liked it a lot, good job.

nomus 2025-10-08 19:57

I need more bulk let me eat the cats too

lukk-batun 2025-10-08 20:06

OMG!!! THE MUSIC IS TOO EPIC

kkritikov 2025-10-08 21:44

Very cool art, I liked it

monado 2025-10-09 00:12

One of the funniest games I've played so far this jam! Safe to say, I got the happy ending... Amazing work, love the art and satisfying gameplay

image_2025-10-08_171251440.png

ciphereo 2025-10-09 06:20

The music is so cool. I really like the artistic style of the game.

nikisnow 2025-10-09 08:04

cool

dgo 2025-10-09 08:44

Awesome music! It fits so well

khamekaze 2025-10-09 08:53

So many meme references 😂 I like the Roblox news caster and the fact that you have a skip button on cutscenes that basically goes "nah mate 🙂"

alexrose 2025-10-09 09:56

Was disappointed I couldn't eat the cat at first. Then I was really disappointed I couldn't eat the cat

lots of calories in an alien

love the fullscreen frames, very funny, especially love his lips. enjoyed the music and cohesiveness of the style musically, visually, writing wise. this is a quintessential LD game to me, it's the type of thing you would only ever get to play during LD haha, very cool game and I enjoyed it

surfacedfox 2025-10-09 10:49

x_x i will refrain from voicing my opinions on this one with my partner watching over my shoulder

sheepolution 2025-10-09 11:33

Funny game! Love the silly faces and cutscenes. I did miss a bit of a challenge, like an enemy or a time constraint, but with it was fun nonetheless. Good job!

crygos 2025-10-09 12:52

You can feel the bulk through the music.

leorean 2025-10-09 13:01

I wonder how much protein I ate in this game :sob:

hjalte 2025-10-09 13:09

The art was good and the story was very fun! I wish there was some challenge though..

loco 2025-10-09 14:07

I really like the skip watch it part, hahaha.

linky439 2025-10-09 15:00

Very funny one. I like the art style, the crazy cutscenes, the bloody "Skip" button and the general "stupid" vibe of this game. Very fun, done very well, congrats!

khaotom 2025-10-09 16:19

Fantastic work! And the story is super relatable.

tesseus 2025-10-09 16:26

I really like the style of the game, its so consistant and vibrant.

yatsu 2025-10-09 17:08

I saw a big green альтушку I'm satisfied. 1000 kcal out of 10 opera_cYjDXgcixl.png

kazuren 2025-10-09 17:34

This game was amazing, one of my favorites for sure, I was laughing so much :joy:

placeholders 2025-10-09 18:41

it was nice eating kids

zoldanka 2025-10-09 19:08

This is pure art, in all its forms, from start to finish. When I say I died laughing My favorite so far

mrpaket 2025-10-09 19:32

It's just a crazy game, and I've watched an amazing story unfold before my eyes. It's an incredibly funny game. A pleasant art style, cutscenes that are set TO MUSIC. This is a masterpiece of cinema, absolute cinema!

изображение_2025-10-09_223035540.png

The spirit of the game reminded me of another game where a meteorite was supposed to fall to Earth and you could do anything. I don't remember the name, but it was quite popular.

jasminej2003 2025-10-10 02:13

The graphic is nice, the music is perfect.The way you've coupled the mechanic creates a puzzle dynamic I've never seen before. It feels like a natural evolution of concepts from Braid.Your approach to visual storytelling here is masterful. If you have a moment, I'd be genuinely interested to hear your thoughts on my own project, ICE BOMB RUNNER.

derek-glennon 2025-10-10 02:26

Lots of realllly good faces in this one haha art is really well done and sense of humor is on point. Gameplay was fun too. Add like a simple beat em up element and I think you could have a full game to ship! Really nice job

asieke 2025-10-10 04:07

Loved the game! The facial expressions were on point!

pekinanebula48 2025-10-10 08:46

This game is really fun, I had a great laugh. The graphics are very cool !

pandalk 2025-10-10 11:11

Pretty funny, one of my favorite entry so far, the humor is on point and the art direction is really good!

the one thing I liked less is the gameplay itself, I would have enjoyed more mechanics than "walk toward the target"

still, congrats !

dumchevdev 2025-10-10 12:02

I loved this crazy game!

umc049 2025-10-10 17:41

A very interesting GameJam game! You collect (eat) everything on the map that can be eaten (including humans, which sounds like Hannibal). The gameplay isn’t complicated and is quite satisfying.

The art style is also nice, and the cutscenes contain many internet memes, which is very fun. The alien beauty at the final ending is also well drawn.

The music during gameplay is very powerful and matches the fast-paced gameplay, humorous story, and art style perfectly.

One of the few shortcomings of this GameJam entry may be that it could be difficult to further develop it into a further full game with the current gameplay. But I think it’s enough for everyone participating in the Game Jam to enjoy playing this game and for the author to enjoy creating it.

sceef 2025-10-10 18:06

"Honey, I've been hitting on our kids.".. and the neighbors, and the dogs, and everything I could swallow)

threeli 2025-10-11 03:00

Sorry I'm late to playing your project, today was the first day I could get back on the computer, but I'm here now so let's go!

I mean the asset work alone is incredible, sound and art, both brilliant. Solid effort all around!

andriybyelikov 2025-10-11 12:32

Nice game and cool memes, but why could I eat cows but not cats, and why is my cat a thicc alien goth gf?

Jokes aside, the game looks really polished. I really liked the cutscenes and I appreciate the short gameplay. Good work and congrats!

pancu 2025-10-11 17:56

game was funny af, specifically the cutscenes with a lot of references, also the ending was very "unexpected" lol, the art was very good, overall great work!

daniboygg 2025-10-11 19:48

Banger music! I really liked how well executed is the game, core loop is there and it works. The art was very funny, I smile and laugh a couple of times. Good work!

It's a plus for a game so short to have mute/sound :thumbsup:.

Small suggestions: * The game will flow more if the character doesn't stop at everything that eats * The animation when you eat something is very quick, I don't realize how much I've eaten, maybe a combination between slower and some animation on the counter would help

adamwigs 2025-10-12 06:18

"Watch It :)"

matthewdrake 2025-10-12 15:32

Love how absolutely ridiculous the premise is, short but sweet and fun game. I can't really think of anything I'd critique, it just seems like a good game jam game! Great work on this!

yibirabbit007 2025-10-12 16:39

Absolutely complete chaos art! It’s very similar to the works from another small town, but yours seems more fun (it’s really hard not to laugh); a 100% abstract piece, you could definitely make it to the trending list.

vinnnie 2025-10-12 18:31

Awesome entry, lots of polish.

euler-moises 2025-10-13 00:08

LOL! I'm so hungry!

That was funny! Totally unexpected! Eating people when you're angry? What a great idea!

:D

Congratulations

rynti 2025-10-13 19:34

hehe what a hilarious scenario :D liked the idea, and the graphics + sound really made it funny

rayhimmel 2025-10-14 22:41

another one of the best for me lmao

xpoho 2025-10-15 05:20

I like art style. And also I like that game feels completed. Good job ^_^

vhalenn 2025-10-15 14:59

Congratulations for the amount of visual work on this one!

nassshie 2025-10-16 20:08

nnaaaah, it is such a great work, espacially for only one person! so funny and interesting to play. the idea itself is brilliant! good gamr fr

weirdbitgames 2025-10-17 16:44

The music is fire! And, did I.. just eat a person to "bulk up"?? This is such a cool, silly game!

surfa 2025-10-23 20:51

Really enjoyed the cutscenes. Loved that you put some story into a jam game. My main complaint was I feel like you put the scoring backwards. Surely 200/300 (200 out of 300) makes more sense than 300/200 (get to 300 but you have 200?). Overall one of the best entries I have played this jam. :thumbsup:
