Fun game with an interesting concept (and great music). 

My only problem is that it's hard to shoot. I would suggest that carrots shoot in your mouse direction, instead of your moving direction.

Solid game. Has a very straightforward message. The music and sound effect are fun to listen.

its fun and i like the art great theme and i also like sfx and music

Fun and great game. The sound and music fit very well and the player understands what to do pretty quickly, even if I just ran away on my first try. Very nice game and a very good idea!

Thanks for the feedback and playing :)

interesting take on the theme! I like the art style and the animations! Shooting was a little difficult because you had to walk toward the enemies to shoot at them, which made me just end up eating them. Maybe have the cursor be where you aim and then use left click to shoot instead of CTRL. Overall though, good game!

I'd appreciate it if you could play/rate my game as well! :)

Awesome use of less is more. The gameplay was fun and I loved that running around aimlessly actually had benefits to the character. I'm glad I played long enough to see the boss burger. That was cool! Great job with this game!

A pretty basic game but presents the theme well with a message and was engaging enough to reach the boss multiple times even if I didn't manage to beat it. Was a neat time playing it.

- My favorite part was how the having to move naturally combined with the less common only shoot in facing direction of character, and sometimes you could just 'take the hit' eating the food and walk it off to recover your health, blending well with the concept.
The chosen music fit the tone of the game and arena you battled in well too.

- Not sure if it was intentional, but the fries enemy seemed to awkwardly skip/teleport at a specific cycle in its motion, happening at the exact same time if multiple fries were on the screen. Something to do with there animation/cycle?
Ctrl as the shooting button doesn't work well for the browser, attempting to play it in that-at least with firefox, kept triggering shortcuts (ctrl + w/a/s/d) even when it was fullscreen, so I need to download it. It would be nice to have that on spacebar instead.

Thanks for the feedback. The fries teleportaion is not intentional, it's a bug :( 

Yep the "ctrl" in a browser isn't the best selection, to be honest I didn't think that. I tested in full screen. My bad. And I tried again and it is happening. :(  

But it works with the arrow buttons fine.  Changed the game description.

Submitted

No worries.
Ahh sorry yeah, hope you're able to find and fix that bug well enough.
Oh right, the arrows are an option-seems so natural especially for this genre to use wasd, didn't think of trying the arrows with ctrl instead. Glad that's an easy solution for being able to play in the browser still.

extremely fun game! and i loved the take on the theme. the controls were very weird at times tho

Developer

Thanks for playing.

good, little game! I found it a little funny that we came up with similar takes on the theme. mine involves unhealthy food like pizza and fries too! lol! I think it was great! the main menu could use a little bit of work visually, to make it more appealing. I also could here the character shooting when clicking Ctrl when on the menu. one tiny thing is that shooting the unhealthy food was a little bit hard to do. The graphics seem pretty good. I also liked the little robot character you play as. Overall, I'd say the games pretty good!

Submitted

Really nice and crisp effects! Found no bugs!
