  • This was weird, which means people will either love it or hate it, but either way, certainly one of the weirdest games in the jam. A great effort matching characters to their food types and while visually it was a little messy, you made a commendable effort to create a food-based world, which is cool. Maybe. Audio was hard to listen to and made the whole thing a little hard to get through, especially with long fetch quests and the bomb "puzzle" - not many puzzles, mostly just get and use item, but there was a sense of humour throughout the entry which certainly made it memorable. A good effort, well done.
  • There's an interesting and quirky game in here somewhere, but it's kind of ruined by the terrible navigation. I feel like you spend most of the time in this game just wondering around being confused about which direction is which.

This is so strange and surreal, I love it! There's also something really adorable about the way the character runs.

Ha thanks :) I too enjoy the way he moves. Like he's late but he didn't wear the right pants to run fast.

I'll be honest, I'm so confused!

Developer

Like confused about 'how' to play or confused about 'why' to play? lol I can't help you with the why part.

Haha, I finished it. Just a bit strange, I was curious what to expect from screenshots you put up on discord but I'm still a little confused!

Developer

Ha that's ok I'm still confused too. I started this as a palette cleanser from so many serious projects and it never really made much sense from it's conception. And I spent way too much time on the dumb music video when I shoulda been working on the ending. Thanks for playing.
