Frecko
Frecko - Ludum Dare 56 (Tiny Creatures)
======
Control Frecko and gobble up Globbers so you can feel full. But beware, the Apex is hungry too!
##### Mechanics
- Run into Globbers (little green blobs) to kill them. They will drop meat that you can eat. Be careful not to leave it for too long, it'll rot.
- Frecko has a stomach bar on the bottom right of the screen. He can only hold ten pieces of meat in his stomach at once. A digestion timer runs below it showing how long until a piece can be digested.
- If Frecko's stomach is empty, his digestive processes continues. He takes damage until he eats again.
- If Frecko is hurt by Thorns (brown tubular things) or the Apex, then he will be invulnerable for a short period of time.
- To win the game, digest 30 pieces of meat. Frecko's stomach starts with 5, so you only need to get 25!
##### Controls
- WASD for movement
- Gamepad is supported but has bugs
- The menus require a mouse
- Press ESC to pause the game
##### Known Issues
- Character movement stutter
- Apex getting caught on corners
- Bugs with Gamepad movement sliding

Hahaha, the cat gave me a bit of a jumpscare randomly, was not expecting it hahaha. But this is great mate! I found it a bit hard to catch the food at times, but other than that it was good. Good work!

Gaem feels fun to play, and that is a good sign, i agree with previous commentors about something like dash, and adding more polishing.

Pretty goofy game, timer takes a bit too long to complete

Fun little game! Absolutely terrifying how quickly the cat appears and chases you. Mechanics and stress were very pac man. Cool idea!

Chill Frecko. I liked the guy I played as. I wish he was better at eating food but it was joyous

Fun graphics. Sometimes the meshes of the trees got cut away by the camera. But trying to trap the blobs while avoiding the same happening to myself was pretty fun.

I had a good jumpscare with the cat. It wasn't much of a challenge in my opinion. The cat could have wandered some more, or maybe additional cats appear as time goes on?

This idiot got stuck in the corner and I ate all the globbers. It's fun despite the simplicity

Okay, that's interesting. The graphics are nice, but the gameplay should be improved. This game is not so challenging and for that maybe you can add more cats, but for this entry is cool!
Cat bugged in brushes.
