Fixed Mac and Linux downloads but I do not have either of these systems to test the builds on!

This game provides surrealist social commentary on the state of America, where we cannot arise to turn on the TV, but must consume and steal and reach into our neighbor's yard to take what is not ours, such that, instead of spending time with other people, we must eat them.
Does anyone even watch TV anymore? No. Instead, we play games where we still consume, only we do so interactively. The determination of the game's protagonist, nay, OUR determination to achieve such a level of laziness leaves us feeling empty, lacking in any sense of purpose or meaning. Those who seek to escape this pattern, instead of consuming, begin to produce, and in so doing, spend a weekend creating more fictions for others to consume. Fictions which we hope will be some sort of reflection of our own place in the universe.
This game accomplishes this goal. Please play through to the ending. The final scene is the capstone of this short, yet epic reflection of our inner demons. You will feel unsettled. Or at least... entertained.
The graphics and vibe were very amusing but the game got repetitive relatively quickly.
Audio could make it exponentially better. Recording yourself saying "omnomnom" when you munch a ball and playing a random sound effect from http://www.bfxr.net/ when you grab it doesn't take very long.
Very funny, loved the surreal humour and being able to eat the folks, wish it had some sound but the entire package is really strong with this one. Kudos man!
