The way focus works in the main screen almost made me think the game was broken and wouldn’t start. After that there are some interesting gameplay ideas.

I managed to get enough money to buy enough diet food every day so I could get to the next day without gaining much weight. On the other hand, I live in a complete darkness now.

I survived for about 5 days, buy it got repetitive and I didn't see progress in the game. Is there another ending besides going broke?

Developer(+1)

Honestly, no 😅. 

This was my first game jam, and I may have overscoped the project a bit, so I didn’t have time to add more content. 
But I really appreciate you playing and getting that far! 

Thanks a lot for your feedback 🙌.

Fair enough. If I wasn't supossed to last for that long it's understandable that there isn't more content.
Even though, you included a bunch of things to do, that's why I was wondering if I missed something else. The amount of work put into it shows 👍

This has a lot of potential. I had a few issues with it though:

Movement and rotation speed feel very slow to the point of being frustrating. I wasn't sure how to survive the first day. Maybe clearer instructions would help. I ate, slept, locked the door... And then woke up with negative 100 dollars

Loved the humor! I managed to ruin my self the first day...

The controls are a bit frustrating, but the concept is very interesting !

Developer

The frustration was kind of the idea, but I guess it sounded better in my head 😅. 
Thanks for playing and for your feedback!

Interesting, fun concept, but the slow walking speed after growing in size was very frustrating. I'd like to revisit this one with some more polish on it.

Thank you for your feedback!

The issue was caused by a bug where weight was added constantly instead of just once, as intended. This has now been fixed in the latest update.

Thanks again for pointing it out!
