We'd love to know your high scores!! Ours are... Alfredo: 147 --- Maria: 104
----------------------- HOW TO ----------------------- WASD - Move (it's mostly up & down) LEFT SHIFT - Switch Weapon (I mean Food!) SPACE - Feed them!
----------------------- A LIL DISCLAIMER ----------------------- Hunger King has been made by two incredibly busy friends who wanted to attempt jamming at LD for the first time. It wasn't just our first time jamming, but our first time with ALL of the technologies we used: Cocos2d-JS, Chipmunk JS (and even the IDE, WebStorm!) We really took the "Make it a challenge" advice part seriously. One of us focused entirely on developing the game, the other one on graphics and animations.
Also... Well, we couldn't skip work during the weekend, so out of the 72h, we had to work for 24h (and sleep for a bunch more too). We decided to participate on a whim, so we didn't really do much warm up before the date.
Either way, we hope you enjoy it and have some fun!
----------------------- BACKGROUND STORY ----------------------- Year 2048. The Consumer Society and Citizen Welfare (SCBC) intends to approve a legislation where junk food companies are allowed to use the drug V501 in their products. Even though several events happen worldwide against this proposal, law takes effect. In late 2060 the Consumer goods fast food has increased until 70%. Consumers can not stop eating and when they reach their limit of hunger they literally explode, causing extensive damage around. To combat this issue, the best bartenders in the world have been chosen to have under control this kind of subjects. These "Heroes" are known as Hunger Avengers and in the region of Chillyvilla the toughest and fastest of them, Hunger King.
Pretty simple, but still a solid package especially considering you all had to work during the weekend. If the background graphic was just a tad bit larger so you wouldn't end up seeing those black borders, the finished product would feel much more polished.
It felt like I couldn't move while shooting (feeding) the customers, which made it really hard to get up and down the screen while firing. Maybe my timing's just not that great?
Got to 100 and got bored, could go much higher - there's nothing that stops you from pressing space repetitively and going left-right-left-right... making you basically immortal.
Haha not bad! :D The idea is interesting but it lacks some variation. It's a bit difficult maybe, you need to include some kind of powerups or something like that :)

Good job chaps, especially as you couldn't sacrifice work/sleep time!
