I was really considering making something like this game due to my keto diet. I'm glad someone was on the same page as me! Love it. Thanks!

Neat! Simple, but still amusing.

Great idea. Think the interface should explain more- not just calorie intake, but nutrition to maintain health. People are too caught up on the number of calories and forget about the important of overall nutrition. Would make a great learning game for all ages. Would love to see more.

Nice idea. Need more foods with iron in them -- where is the spinach and greens? :)

Very funny take on Minimalism. I died of anemia, but I'd gotten down near the target weight. It seemed like it was hard to win without knowing the nutritional values of some of the foods. Nice work!

It was a fun game - and quick to finish so not too much of a grind and I did replay it. :)

Nice game, kinda hard. Died several times. Seemed like the weight loss didn't quite match my expectations, might have helped to just give a calorie counter as well. (But from a gameplay standpoint, maybe it was fine as is.)

Someone should talk to the person doing the shopping! All that damn pie & icecream & pizza, and often not nearly enough carrots!

Great game! Feels like a text adventure. I love the black and white graphics. Certainly fits the minimalist theme. Great work! :D
