The boar almost got me! Liked the tempo, took me a couple of rounds to get to the light saber, promising concept.

Really great entry. Everything looks really polished. Fun game. The only thing was I had no indication of when he would starve (I didn't have that green bar like in your screenshot if that's what that was for). Other than that it was very enjoyable. Well done guys. Thanks for the game.

Cool game, it looked and sounded really nice. It took some time for me to get what I was supposed to do but then it was really fun. Although I had no "heath" or "food" bar at the bottom, so I couldn't see how much time I had left. But overall REALLY polished and well executed!

Haha what a nice game, loved the art and the idea. Took me a while to understand how to use the furnace and had some issues with enemies respawns but it was fun!

First time i played it was a little unclear what i had to do to generate the food. But once i understood the core systems it was a really fun game! the upgrade loop is interesting, and adds content to a simple loop. Good stuff!

Fantastic entry. Really nailed the presentation and the core gameplay loop. Every time I died, I felt like "hmm, I think I know how I could do better the next time", and so I felt compelled to play again. That meant that this game took the longest of any this jam before I felt like I was done with it.

That being said, there are a few minor isses in my mind:

1) In case you're not aware, there's a bug where if you land on a corner after jumping with the mushroom, you can get stuck.

2) The controls felt very weird and took a while to get used to. My guess is that this is because the grab and throw buttons were not the same, but I'm not entirely sure.

3) The reaper probably shouldn't collide with food. Likewise, I found that about 2/3rds of the time I threw food at the furnace while it was full, I would have prefered it to go through instead of bounce off. Since a big part of the gameplay is moving the food, this should feel as smooth as possible.

4) I assume this came down to lack of time, but I think the game could really benefit from a win condition.

If this game was a beautiful woman I would intimately know what her armpits smell like! 10/10

Graphic and animation is great! Took me a few minutes and still can't figure out how to survive or get to the boar place.

Awesome art and concept. Maybe some effects on slash and feedback for hitting things would add more coolness to the game! Good job!

@misterg420 Thanks for playing! We are indeed working on a game to be released on Steam called "The Adventures of Bluke Bifton" :)

Awesome Game! I loved the art and SFX! That said, it was pretty difficult to figure out how to get the food. I Loved the animation of him starving too!

The king's HP was hidden for my download version, and my HP didn't go down at all.

That aside, I really enjoyed it and reached a high score of 143 seconds ^^

PS: I loved how the poop trader becomes really excited when you approach him while carrying poop xDDD
