This is so charming. I think my favourite thing about it is how the music shifts when you make a mistake - that and the music overall being really fun. There’s a lot of personality to this little stick figure.

Submitted

This is so awesome! I love how silly it is, and how simple the idea is, while still being super fun! I'm glad that Dave got fed.

Submitted

Such a simple yet efficient idea! It was very well executed, especially the music which adapted to Dave's anger! >:(

The end got me smiling on top of all this! Well done! ;D

Hahaha, this is the funniest and most charming entry I've played so far!! I love Dave's facial expression and adaptive music to his anger, it really adds a lot to the humour and character of the game. The art style is also oddly appealing, it reminds me a bit of those rhythm games in its simplicity. I'm not sure if this was intended or if anyone else experienced it, although I couldn't feed Dave in the incorrect order (not that I would EVER do that to him), and I found this strange as he seems like the pickiest eater around. Other than that, everything was presented really well and it was a super clever implementation of shapes and patterns - well done, team!!

Developer(+1)

he is such a picky eater he wont even let you try to feed him the wrong thing

Host

Ohhhh okay, I see :P Dave is such a silly goose

Developer(+1)

Thank you, this made me smile so much, appreciate a lot the kind words! :D

Glad you enjoyed the game,
had a bunch of fun with applying the music with the change of pitch according to daves unsatisfaction.

Big shoutout to Xeight for the music!

Dave was very angry. 

Submitted

Simple, but challenging and engaging game. I like that the buttons are already pressed when no input can be made. The monotone color probably adds to the challenge because you can only act based on the shapes.

Developer

Thanks! nice observation for the buttons.
gave some priority for readability and player experience, so I'm glad you found it engaging!
Also glad to hear the game was challenging, as some peps who tested said the difficulty is pretty low.

Submitted

Really fun! Simple but effective concept.


Have to ask, is Hungry Dave a reference to NADDPOD Hot Boy Summer?

Developer

Thanks!
Don't know NADPOD, no. 
Another person I know made a speculation that this is from a "Be like Dave" meme,
but I knew nothing about it

 looked NADPOD up, is that a D&D podcast?

Submitted

Hahaha fair. Yes, it is. In one of their campaigns they have a character called "Hungry Dave"

Submitted(+1)

This is actually pretty fun, Dave is very intimating for absolutely no reason.

Simple yet Fun, Well Done!

Developer

Thanks you!

dave was infact hungry, the artstyle was strangely charming, quite a fun game

Developer

Munch Appreciated!
(Pun intended) 

Submitted(+1)

Oddly fun. I could probably play this for hours. The graphics are nice, there's a fair amount of juice, overall super nice to play!

Developer

Thank you, Glad you liked it!

you had a fun game yourself, will probably be playing it more after I make a round of games in the jam.
it was impressive the amount of juice you added to your game yourself

Submitted

Thank you! You made great use of juice yourself :D

Submitted(+1)

This is obviously a really silly game and frankly you play it off well; it would be very easy to make this cringey and unfunny, but you managed to get a laugh out of me :D. Beyond that I'd say the game is simple and effective; the art and gameplay are very simple but still manage to be quite enjoyable.

Good Job! :)

May I add, the detail of the music gradually changing pitch as Dave gets pissed off is just ✨EXQUISITE✨

Developer(+1)

when i first witnessed the music slowing down as he gets pissed off it was so funny

Developer

Yes!! XD
glad you liked it!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! :D
glad to hear you liked its humor.

great game yourself!
