You are a construction worker who likes to take lunch breaks. A LOT of lunch breaks. Like, every 10 seconds you need a lunch break.

Made in Game Maker. Photoshop, Skale Tracker, Audacity, sfxr were also used.

This game is great, but I do wonder how do all the sandwiches get up to the construction area...

Pretty neat, I really enjoyed the construction mechanic.
Great animations and expressive cartoon character.

Without any penalty for death, I found that I just stopped caring and just let myself die. Then I would just run back and keep working. It cut my travel time in half.
BUG: If you build above your last touched lunchbox, the block will fall covering the lunchbox. Now when you die, you wont even teleport, you just get back up where you are. (Players: Try to not do this and just enjoy the game.)

I would be ok with a harder level win condition. It makes sense that as a construction guy, I shouldn't leave extra blocks around, so I should need to leave blocks ONLY in the outlined areas and nowhere else.

Good work!

Awesome game! I just wish I could place blocks above me without the need to jump (similar to placing below with down key)

Great execution but the gameplay was a bit monotonous at times.

Funny game! Plays pretty well, liked the character, graphics and music a lot

The gameplay is a bit too simple though. It needs bit more something. More blocks, enemies? Every level is basically same thing and that can get repetitive. There isn't any real punishment for not eating either, so running to the lunchboxes isn't necessary and hurts the game's theme.

But overall this was really solid game and I enjoyed it. Nice job!

Heheh, great minds think alike, huh? Cool that you came up with a block making and smashing mechanic too! :D

This game is really cool, It would be great if you could place blocks upwards 1 block without jumping though
Kragnir29 Aug 2013, 03:38
Nice game but it needs a harsher death penalty and some kind of thing that give meaning to all the building. Just getting somewhere is too easy and the build challenges only take time.

Haha great stuff, love your art! Check out my game, it's GameMaker as well (with suckier art, of course) :D

Really funny game, loved the fatguy's sprite! The only game so far that had any humor in it for me! The music goes along with it nicely, and the simply puzzle mechanics actually gave me some game ideas!

One of the best games I've played.

I like the graphics (expecially the "om-nom-nom" character when he eats :D ), and the music fits well, even if it is a bit repetitive. The sfx, well, they're good enough.

Keep Eating!

Awesome graphics! Great sounds. Nice animations! One of the most polished Gamemaker games I have seen this LD. Very original concept! Wonderful take on the theme. 9.1/10.0. Keep it up!
