Nice game, very cool art and being able to change colours with space was a nice touch. when I missed food it didn't reset my combo and in screenshot that says faast food frenzy I didn't realize I couldn't stand on the other part, because it looked the same only another colour. that was a bit sad to die to 

Great game in general!

Thanks for the feedback! The reason the combo doesn't reset during fast food frenzy is that it would make the buff more of a penalty than a reward. It's quite hard to pick up stuff at that speed. The spacebar color change was actually a debug feature that was left in by mistake. It doesn't have a huge impact on gameplay, so for now I'll keep it in :)

The controls are too hard...too many buttons to remember... and all those crazy combos to do the attacks.... (j/k of course).  I love the minimalist design.  I always shoot for small and go way overboard during jams.  This is awesome!

Awesome game. It took me a second of playing to figure out what theme you went with. I love the art and the music. Definitely one of the better games so far. I hope you got the Healthy Living Achievement. If you did, it must have been hard working with all the pizza and hamburgers! Haha.

Thanks for the kind comments! I have barely had time to eat this weekend - especially creating music takes way too long for me >,<

I'll celebrate actually getting a game completed tomorrow with my wife, though. I'll have a pizza then :D

Can you upload the zip version instead of the compiled exe so that we don't have to install it on our computers?

Developer(+1)

Good idea. I've uploaded a zip version in addition to the installer now. Hope it works for you.
