I really like this idea, and I think you've presented a pretty amusing way to present some of the memes that have spawned from the stream. I think you should lean into it even harder in future updates (maybe make burgers and vegemite a health mechanic, kinda like the red/purple mushrooms in Mario - stuff along those lines where it makes sense).
Also, as a side note, you might consider toning down the platform spawn rate slightly. You can get fairly far in the game just by arbitrarily holding down the space bar. I suppose you could also create higher levels of difficulty to "fix" this too.

- Made in a weekend, I was told by the developer. I can believe it.

Tell us about your game!
This is a 2D endless running platformer, where there is a floating enemy, that the player cannot collide with, and it keeps shooting projectiles at the player and multiplying (the spreading part).
Use A and D keys, to move left and right, space to jump and space again to double jump.
Don't fall below the screen or the game is over. Avoid thor and his balls of friendship, or you lose health. Watch out for the occasional heart pickup to regain help.
The main symbolism in the game are the memes of the streams and chat. The player is a goblin (Twitch chat user, who's sharing 7 brain cells with all the other members of the chat), and is running away from the spreading Thor, who is trying to catch them.
Did you remember to include your Game Design Document?
Yes
Is your game set to Public so we can see it?
Also Yes
Extra Notes
I hope you guys will have fun and a few good laughs playing this game. It was created with the sole purpose of entertainment, and to laugh at the memes of the amazing streams that Thors brings us every day.
I hope noone will misinterpret this, and everyone, who play it will have good fun.
