Fun but challenging 

Developer

Thanks 👍

I liked how trying again meant staying with your same weight, I overshot the goal the first game so the game flipped upside down because on the second run I had to now avoid eating the healthy stuff.  Could use some more polish, and a couple more pieces to the tiles since they don't all connect.  Also maybe having the weight affect gameplay more than just trying to find a balance.  Overall cool game!

Thanks for the feedback 🙂.

Super good concept and use of the limitation, the game was solid albeit a little straightforward. My only recommendations are toning down the sound of the jump SFX and adjusting jumping so it's not always max height but possibly scales with the key being held down.

Submitted

I had a lot of fun playing this game. I loved the tutorial as well. I agree with some of the comments about including more platforming things and sound effects. Otherwise, really good!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. :-)

Submitted

Simple idea, but done pretty well. The mechanics are all smooth and the platforming is satisfying. I think overall the game could use a bit more juice, like more sound effects, more twists on the platforming, etc.

Developer

Thanks for the kind words and feedback. :-)

Submitted

hehe that was fun! nice use of the limitation, and a cool twist on platforming , having to dodge the bad food pickups ...great job! :D 

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

Although the control scheme is that of a classic platformer stuff (left, right, jump), the need to maintain a weight between a given range by alternately eating salads and junk food manages to give the gameplay quite a unique feel. Well done!

I would consider giving a bit more attention to the graphics, particularly the animation of the main character.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Yeah my pixel art skills arent good :(

Submitted(+1)

This was fun, I got the right weight the first playthrough so it turns out that I eat better in your game than in real life, haha! One thing that could be interesting to work is how the weight affects your jump; maybe you could jump higher when you lose weight to access to even healthiest food or something. 

Also, too many cookies? Careful or you won't get your teeth removed! ;)

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the nice comments on my game. The idea you proposed is really good I might implement it later. I'll make sure to check out your game. :-)

Developer(+1)

Cookie make worry go away. Red like cookie

Submitted

Cool idea - and fun to play :)

I misunderstood initially and thought it was the door to each level that blocked you based on weight. I think it would be more obvious if the weight counter on the screen showed the range and was coloured red/green when you were in/outside of it :)

Developer (1 edit)

 Thanks for the kinds words and feedback. The color weight idea is quite a good one I will probably put it in, in an update. :-)

Developer

Thank you, that sounds like a good idea!

Developer(+1)

I added the colours you suggested to the weight counter colour. :-)

Submitted

The game has some good art, but I played the game 2 times and it took way too long for me to realize that not all foods increase your weight.

Developer

Thanks for the positive comment on the art. If you had done the tutorial you would have seen that it is clearly stated that some foods increase your weight and some don't.

Developer

Thanks for the compliment on my art! And yes, I can understand that

Submitted

Good game... but you need a way to win. Is impoible (-1000 and i was too far), but really good pixelart. 

Developer

Thanks for calling our game good. There is a way to win please look at the tutorial to see how. It is outlined clearly in there. :-)

Developer

You can win, in the tutorial it shows what you need to do. To win you need a weight of 200-150

Submitted

The twist on the collectables is cruel to my Banjo-Kazooie addled brain. I’d like a little more clarity on the requirements, but otherwise good stuff!

Developer

Hi thanks for the kind words.  What do you mean by requirements? Did you do the tutorial?

Submitted

You know, I completely missed that there was a tutorial. Sleep deprivation!

Developer

Don't worry about it.  :-)

Developer

Oh man your game was amazing! Thank you!

Submitted

Well done! the feedback i would give you would be mostly on the text, which is sometimes hidden behind the scene, and maybe the sounds that are funny at first but can get a bit annoying. the idea is funny and original.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback. I'll fix the text problem when I have a chance. :-)

Developer

Yeah, we just need to change the layer of the player

Developer(+1)

We fixed the text problem. :-)

Submitted

Hey! I saw you fixed that and heard the feedback of others, great job! it's nice to see that you are putting effort on your game ^^

Developer

Thank you!

Developer

Thank you.  :-)

Submitted

good job the only problem i have is the background noise of the eating sound other than that great game

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. I tried to be creative and make the  eating sound myself. I'll change it to something better when I have the chance. :-)

Submitted

We have almost the same idea LoL! I really enjoy your game, the concept and art is so clean. Rework the jump next time :)

Developer(+1)

Cool! I'll make sure to check out your game. I'll fix the jump when I get the chance. :-)

Developer(+1)

Heh, glad you liked it!

Developer(+1)

Hello, I just updated the jump as you suggested. :-)

Submitted

Nice work. The only thing I was slightly annoyed with was the jump sound having a slight delay. Other than that. Great work! 

Developer(+1)

Thank you! We will fix that ASAP!
