Have you checked that your GDD is publicly accessible ?
Yes
Is your game set to public on itch.io so we can see it?
Yes
Summarise your game!
You're a hedgehog. You are getting ready to get cozy for winter. But oh no! A honey badger took over your home! Feed on worms, snails and later on bigger critters to become the baddest hedgehog around and beat the honey badger. FEED ON HIM. FEED ON ALL OF THEM!
Enemies will come at you when they are in your vicinity and are stronger. You need to evade them or block their attempts at eating you by holding the defend button. Once they are on the menu (their portrait appears at the top of the screen), they can be eaten themselves. Eating provides EXP, allowing you to level up and get stronger.
Controls:
Enter/Space for Feeding
Ctrl/Q for Defending
Shift for Attacking
Equivalents on gamepad are in the GDD
Please explain how your game fits the theme:
You are becoming the weapon by making yourself stronger, you beat the odds and become the apex predator in your forest. While you might not be the weapon from the start, a hedgehog taking out a fox or an owl in one chomp is pretty badass.
Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
First time pixel art, feedback would be nice! (First time for everything actually, but the pixel art is dear to our hearts!)

The art was nice! fun little game! I was bad at it lmao. Felt cozy though, great entry overall!
This game was so cute!! I love the art, I love the almost... feeding frenzy/tasty planet/katamari vibes of the mechanic. Its a fun little take on the You are the weapon theme. I think making the interactable objects pop some how, with an outline, or something would be good, I didn't even notice the worms and snails at first but I got the hang of it. I'd also say I wish there was more feedback when you take damage. But overall this game is awesome!!!
very fun and omg those snakes xD! i was so focused and they make me run so fast. love the art :D
For a first time pixel art venture, you guys sure know what you're doing O_O! The hedgehog is a terrific character that makes me very sad for letting him die so many times :') , the art itself is very readable, and honestly with pixelart, that is one of the main things you should prioritise so you guys did great! :D
Thanks a bunch for the defend knowledge, because it let me keep Hedgehog boi alive a good bit longer than usual :')!
Awesome work, keep it up! ^w^
The hedgehog is super cute and the art is overall very pleasant. I am keep dying to the snakes though. There's usually few of them and they do not seem to be giving up even after a long chase. During my last run I got stuck on a snail which I didn't expect to have a collision. But I'd love to play more of this. One last thing: I had to switch browsers for this one because my chrome was lagging way too much.
Thank you for your sweet comment! The snakes never stop chasing. The only way to survive is to keep running away to look for rats to eat or stay and defend. Keep it pressed until they attacked, then they lose interest for a short period of time. Careful, though with multiple snakes - they can corner you quickly. The lag might be due to hardware acceleration but we aren't sure about this one. We also have hick-ups on Opera. But thank you very much for testing out our first ever game!
