Hungry Squishy Panic is the story of a hungry squishy thing trying to eat some dots. Yeah... Anyways, fling him around the screen using your finger or mouse and eat up the dots before he shrivels away! Written using html5 and coffeescript. Load it up on your phone and have some finger fun!

UPDATE: Fixed last level (one of the pieces of food was commented out)

Doesn't seem to load on Firefox (20.0). Might want to mention compatibility somewhere.

Nice work! Smooth and fun.

Doh. Sorry it didn't load for you. It uses the requestAnimation API, so if it doesn't load, that's probably why. Why are you using an old version of Firefox?

Cute little game with pool-type mechanics. Well done. Not sure about the 10 seconds theme though...

Really fun game. Wish there was more. This game is better than many mobile games I have played. It kind of reminds me of some sort of mini putt golf game or something.

The mouse controls seem backwards to me. (Or is my brain backwards?) Either way, it was easy to reverse my brain.

Some sound effects would make it cooler.

Also confused how it fits the theme.

Nice, clean and simple game. It took me some time to figure out how the controls worked, a short explanation would have helped. ;)

Works very smooth, good game. It may be even better on tablet or a phone.

Oh man, I love mini-golf games... Especially futuristic pac-man mini-golf games. I felt like it was missing a "power bar" though to get a sense of how far you were shootin'. Also, sounds. NEVER leave them out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy0aCDmgnxg ;)

I'm a friend of Domrein's (the author of this mini-game) so you might think I am forced to say something nice about it. That's not true, however. I'm a bit of a jerk.

Instead I'll write what I see as the truth. This is the start of a pretty darned addictive game. I'd really like to see it fleshed-out to its full potential. But man, what he wrote in just 48 hours is really amazing.

Well done!

pretty fun -- nice idea and execution -- good effort

Cool game. I like the artwork and the take on the theme is well done. I wish there was an indicator to see the angle and the power of your fling. Also, there's some collision issues on level 6, I managed to fling my character into the top left corner and he went out of the map. Great job!

Controls were a bit difficult but overall, good game! :D

A very cool core mechanic with striking graphics. I like the physics. It's like snake meets minigolf.

It's tough having to restart every 10 seconds. I wish something else happened every 10 seconds instead - maybe reposition the dots or add one more at a random location.

It's a cool little game, a clever idea having only 10 seconds of movement (it took me a moment to realise that).

I was tapping/clicking like a stupid until I found that you should "tap/click and drag", also called "swipe". After I found that, it was a pretty funny game.

There is a little bug: sometimes the character falls off the maze :)
