True Story by OrangeeZ
Getting old can be fun, or it can be pretty harsh.
As life goes by you get sick, your body becomes weary...
But what if you are a hero, what if you cannot give yourself a minute to rest?
Fight weaknesses and sicknesses regularly, battle wild ocelots, eat bad food, and do everything in your power to protect, well... whoever needs the protection.

WASD for movement, Mouse for aiming and fire
Regularly your character will get sick or euphoric, so keep an eye on the status log above his head.

And cool graphics
It seemed everytime i ate something, my character got diharrea, is that correct?
Anyways, I really liked the graphics and the weird ageing effects, good job!
There are three types of healthy food and three types of those causing diarrhea; all of them restore health to the fullest though.
Looking past that, it's a very well put together production. Really good animations.
The random disabilities... I get that they're funny, and they add a layer of frustration... But I'm not sure that's good frustration, because it's not something I can include into my plan, and take away agency. If you're going to penalise the player, make it avoidable, or else it doesn't add to the game - it makes it less fun.
It's pretty decent, really. Just wanted something a bit more in the ideas department!
Very well done!
Had som wierd problems with fog/shroud of wall covering the left side of the screen starting from the player, and by around age 60 enemies stopped spawning.
Dont know how I feel about this game. Nice work :D
