About this game
I made this game for Trijam #374 with the theme "feed the beast", but I am one week to late to submit and took way too much time. After 6 hours I stopped recording time... But I wanted to share the game anyways! Please let me know if you have ideas for improvements :)
Version 1.0

Argh, I died with 99 points during my last run ;) . Not sure what to add but the game is super fun, thanks for sharing it!
thank you much for playing and the nice feedback <3 i never got that far myself :D
Super cute, and funny and polished game! Message from a girl who submits 16hours games for Trijam without any shame: yes, you should share your games, someone might play it and enjoy their time eventually :D I liked that it was hard to remember the good food and that with sound and replay, your brain eventually registers. The controls work very well (at least on mobile where I tested). Improvements? Maybe a little more pitch diversity in the sound used when you jump? Maybe the objects are impossible to avoid sometimes because too close, but that's part of the game, I don't think it hurts the game... I felt like some runs were easiers than others in the objects spawned? Anyway, cool game, keep it up :)
awww thank you so much for playing and your comment :) that is such a nice feedback <3 i was really struggling with the sounds! :( maybe i should watch some tutorials on sound in pico8...
to make it a bit easier to understand, i now added the sprites to the description! :)
with the object distances i still might need to test around a bit, you are right! i already tried to make it less harsh by making the hitboxes smaller than the sprites.
