Say hello to Choosy!!

Choosy is a slime who will eat ANYTHING! You must help him get the food he needs to grow big and strong. Pick a difficulty and use your mouse to feed him while keeping the food he doesn't like far far away!

I had lots of fun making this game, I hope you like playing it! :D


Changelog--
2020/04/20 - Fixed bug with UI scaling. Scaled up the size of the food colliders to make it easier to catch them. :D Also ported to WebGL for easier access!

Good idea, good mood, but ... after more than ten tries, i prefer stop ... it's so hard to catch meal from each directions in less than 1 second ... fix that or make collision shapes bigger to catch them easily ...

Also, Music is good and i love the global mood !

high marks. great use of the theme. I really enjoyed the game even if I'm not good at it. The concept was original and unique. I could see this being a commercial arcade kinetic fruit ninja type game. Great job. The audio was ok. A little repetitive but ok. The graphics were good, controls good. There's some difficulty to it and very much has a learning curve. This is good btw. I don't like my games easy. Good job.

This is fun, this looks good, i love little Choosy, and a vegetarian mode is always a plus for a good game!

@kittennation Thanks for playing! It can be pretty tricky to grab the food I'm considering making the colliders larger to help with grabbing.

@psychic-ash Thanks for playing! I really appreciate the comment, and all the kind words. :) I'll have to port it to mobile! :D

I had difficulties not eating the wrong food. Not sure if I was doing something wrong.

@itskdog Choosy will eat anything that passes him, so you need to make sure you're grabbing things before they land in is gooey mouth. :D Thanks for playing!

@ramo Thanks for playing! Glad you liked the veggie mode! :D

I'm a fan of that BGM and the overall art style! I think the health bar felt out of place given how Choosy and the other items looked, though - given more time I'd like to see a health bar rendered in the same style.

I also really enjoyed how the "difficulty modes" adjust the food that Choosy likes appropriately.

I really struggled with the game though, a lot of times a food would fly at Choosy right away and I wouldn't be able to grab it in time. When the food didn't hit Choosy directly it was easier, but I could see myself having a better time on mobile for sure. Good work!

Really nice graphical style with the sountrack. Took a little bit to get used to the gameplay but the choice in food groups was a nice touch.

Good entry! Character is cute, graphics are nice and nostalgic. I like the different modes. Clicking is a bit tough but I guess that is the whole point. Would be nice if certain foods would give the blob temporary power ups or downs. Good work :thumbsup:

Really nice scope, simple and well executed! I enjoyed it :)

I like it :) Requires good mouse precision so it's quite challenging but fun and addictive! The graphics and music are nice as well, I especially like Choosy and how he grows and animates when he eats :) Good job!
