Exceptional! It reminds me of the fun I had with a game-and-watch game when I was young -- I think it was just called "egg?".
There's a nifty way the difficulty ramps up with making sure you don't bump the good food, and being able to move the scanner in addition to the zapper is a nifty way to both empower the player and make navigation just a hair more skilled.
I'm also impressed with the scanner effect that you made! I might have to figure out how you did that using Pico-8.

Glad you enjoy the Game :)
I had some additional ideas for the mechanics, but didn't had enough time to implement them. But im really happy that you enjoy the mechanics as they are . I think you would like one of the secret modes even more ;)
The scanner was made through clipping. Before the project i didn't even know that you can do that on Pico-8 :D
