Belly Battle by FractalFox

made by FractalFox for LD32 (JAM)

Why get thinner when you can get dinner. It's time to do battle with your bellies! Gobble up as much cake as you can to gain in mass to bounce your opponents off the platform. The bigger you are the more bounce you have, however once you get rolling it may be hard to stop!

Controls:
WASD = Move
Belly = Bounce

My first run was a bit weird as I got pushed off before I figured out the controls and there wasn't a gameover screen. Second try was a lot better.

It's a fun humorous game, unfortunately it's very short.

Enjoyed it...took awhile to grasp the gameplay (i didn't read the description, lol), but i can see this concept being fleshed out into a pretty cool game down the road.

Neat little game, though pretty easy :P It would've been nice to see some instructions as to what some of the foods did, I noticed that they had different effects on your size.

Too easy, but still fun.

Hmm, so is it that the carrots make you smaller and the cake makes you bigger? Anyway, all around a really neat idea that I think shows a lot of promise! I really like the silly characters :)

Good concept but the collisions are a little bit weird.

I almost missed the cake mechanic! It was very easy to just bum rush enemies off of the platform right at the bat. Cute art style, and lotsa happy.
