A basic platformer where eating different types of food instantly evolve your character so that he moves slightly different. Eat a lot of meat, and you'll move faster. Eat a lot of carrots and you'll jump higher. But each item has negative side effects as well...
Stupid tiling collision took way longer than it should (and it's still a little glitchy), so I didn't get as far as I'd hoped. I do wish I had added at least one extra level... it's really just a tech demo at this point.
No sounds or music, so don't turn your speakers up to hear it :P
When you click the download link, it will open it up on Google Docs. Just go to the file menu there, and hit Download to download the Windows Zip. The Love file link just goes to a page that has a big download button :P
Cool concept! It's actually very similar to the one in my game. The difference is that in my game, collecting items upgrades certain stats, and you can only do it 7 times in the level. But in your game, collecting items upgrades certain stats and also downgrades others. Pretty cool concept!
Since installing love in linux was not an option - I wined the windows version (worked fine, slow loading time)
This game must not be about food consumption! You should add crapping and shitting as game elements!!! Like you need to shit a pile to jump over obstacle!!!11
The spikes were a little too difficult but I did make it to the end. Expanding this to where you had different food choices that affected the paths you could take would be a neat idea.
I think I'll go ahead and try to add a few more levels and polish, and release a post version. I had a few extra ideas for it, so I'll see how it goes.
The spikes aren't that hard! You just gotta time the jump just right. Maybe a bit much for the tutorial level, though :P
The mood is oka, but because there's no music, it doesn't help. The graphics of the game are really nice, I liked them. On your place I would add some sound effects, and the background music, and I would also expand the screen a bit.
Nice idea, but too short :( The way you introduce the game mechanics while playing is well done. I had no problems with the tile collision, by the way.
good game. shame it was so short. now, if you excuse me, im going to eat chicken and win a race, then eat carrots and jump up to my apartment,then eat cake and jump on my stupid brother.
You know what the funniest part is? That was actually my testing sprite... I had plans to replace it once I got the mechanics worked out, but I ran out of time so I just shaded it a bit, then based the character on the title screen to match that sprite, so it fit a bit better :D
I finally got the tile collision worked out so that it is now perfect, and I added some rendering optimizations, so I'm going to start adding in a few more levels then I'll release a post-comp version.

It would have been great if you had been able to make some more stages...
