Concepts:

Step into the shoes of a fragile mold, born in the cold, harsh confines of a refrigerator. But beware—this seemingly safe environment is your greatest threat! With every passing second, your life force dwindles away. To survive, you must harness your parasitic abilities, possess different foods, and find a way to escape before it’s too late. The refrigerator is no place for the weak—do you have what it takes to break free?

Operations:

- AD: Move
- E: Attach
- R: Respawn to the latest checkpoint(if you get stuck)

While attaching

- Space: Jump
- E: discard current host/launching the player
- Hold/Release W: levitation/glide.

This was really fun, I like the variety in possess-able objects :)

The art is fantastic. the jumping tofu animation is great. I really like the idea of merging with other things to form something new.

The art is beautiful here, I couldn't get past the 2nd jump after the incredible tomato launch on level 2. I couldn't figure out how to make the glide trigger.

Very unique, great way to mix up mix up mechanics

Game starts good, but I cant progress further than first carrot because of the timer

The game design is interesting! But the operation is a bit awkward

Full little platformer! I like the art. Made it to the end. A little bit of parallax and higher contrast between foreground and background would help a lot. Solid prototype!

Solid gameplay and great mechanics!! Love to infect different vegies >

Really cute game, I love the art and the variety of controls you gain by using the different foods. Great job!

I managed to complete it but I feel like the controls were a bit awkward because the "w" and "e" are right next to each other on the same hand and it's hard to switch between them. I think using spacebar for activating the food's ability and then "w" for entering or exiting would work much better.

But I loved the idea of using the different foods for their different abilities. Very clever gameplay.

Sweet, but also really difficult.

Game was really cute and music really set the mood, good game.

This game has a great mood, with pretty visuals.

The only thing I dislike is that you can't jump without moving. That made some platforming sequences harder than they should have been. Otherwise, this is well-made; good job!
