Very creative concept! Trying to reach the end while balancing things out was a fun challenge :)

I really enjoyed the part when Joey became obese! The character sprite was cool 😍

It was a very interesting idea to alter the player's stats when consuming too many donuts, while still having to survive solely by eating more donuts.

After playing the game, I must admit, I'm craving some donuts myself! hehe 🍩🍩🍩

great game, level could have been longer, there could have been another method/ power up to change the rate of decreasing weight, love to the expansion on the game.

I thought this was a great concept! I loved that it was a platformer and getting larger reduced your speed. Great game!

Interesting take on the topic. Game runs smoothly and controls come naturally. Well done and congrots for your 1st game jam!

The movement feels great, its just a bit slow if you have to weight to loose your bar a bit

OH LAWD HE COMING/10
Funny take on the theme! I though I would fall from the clouds if I was fat, and I think I made the game harder than it was supposed to be, but it was fun! Saw in other comments it's your first jam, nice job!

I actually love the idea hahaha that would really make it difficult.

Interesting idea! I wish the weight bar ran down a little quicker to reduce the times where i was waiting and add a little bit more urgency but overall fun game :D

good suggestion, I wasn't really sure how good people would be at platformers, so I didn't want to make it too fast lol
