Beer Belly or Bust by keckles

[raw]
made by keckles for LD 40 (JAM)

Beer belly or bust is a game where you play as a fat guy trying to collect beer. Basically its just like a platformer where you try and collect all the items but the items make you drunk. You also need to watch out for these red shirted fat guys who wanna beat you up for your beer so naturally the best thing to do is beat them up and take their beer (what else are you gonna do? try talking to them?). so ya dont fall from high places unless there is something soft to land on (wink, wink, hint, hint) and get all the beer in each level and then find the exit.

quick note: a lot of people said the controls are wonky so try holding right click to make them better

here are some screenshots now which may or may not have been taken before the game was done:

The controls are difficult. Feels backwards. Not sure if they're camera relative or player relative.

the controls are based on the character and right clicking moves the camera and the character together

I had a hard time with the wasd controls, having a and d rotate the character felt rather unintuitive.

Funny, right on them. Controls are a little wonky - and the camera had issues moving in too close to the player.

Funny game, althought the controls were indeed frustrating. Thankfully when holding right click the controls get much better otherwise i would have rage-quited in just a few minutes. Nice entry other than that and lovely graphics and sound !

Fun game ! I love the concept, I also though that someone might do a game about alcohol ! A great way to show alcohol is bad for your life :p

Using the controls with WS and the right click made it way better. The platforming is very challenging on some places, and the camera effect after picking up some beers made it harder. I like the idea, the implementation could be better, but it's nice for a jam :)

This was an interesting game. Even though I held the right button, the controls still felt hard. Specially when jumping on the tree's platforms. Also, keeping pressing the right button is a bit tiring. The camera sometimes collided with something (walls, tree) and showed a weird view.

The art was goofy, which matched the mood. This was a nice concept, maybe with fixing the controls it can be more enjoyable. The congratulations for losing was unexpected xD Good work :)

The camera morphing effect was cool^^
Climbing the tree was very frustrating.
But it is an interesting idea, which fits the theme.
