Did you ever dream of candy when you were a child? Did you also dream of getting a sugar rush from eating way too much candy and exploding because of an overdose? No? Well, this is your chance!

* /game/img?e=LD40&gid=47010&u= REMEMBER \\ *

Candy will increase your sugar level! You will get a sugar rush from all that sugar, be careful not to overdose!

Broccoli is disgusting! It makes you vomit, but that does mean you lose some of your sugar level!

There might be some guns floating around, be sure to grab it if you see one.

Maneuver - W, A, S, D / Arrow Keys

Shoot - Left Mouse / Spacebar

restart - R

Very hard to dodge/shoot some of the candies. Overall, a nice solid game.

Ah ah, I laugh a lot when I played the game, I love the moment with the broccoli. And the fact that we shoot on the candy with a gun.
A very fun game, than match well with the theme.

Cool game! Very intuitive game design. Got OVER 9000 points on my first try. It looks good, plays smoothly, and the music is good. It's a bit hard to hit the candy with your bullets, but nonetheless it's a great game!

P.S. I actually laughed when broccoli makes you barf :D

Hahaha! Awesomeeeee! This game is pretty hard and I keep messing up at the same place. I guess that’s the point. Here’s my highscore btw:

![Namnlös8.png](///raw/0fa/9/z/df5a.png)

Concerning the graphics it looks really good,I have always loved pixel art and that will not change. You made it look really christmasy and that’s impressive. I also like the overdose shader effect thingy.
Concerning the audio, the music is great.

I will totally come back and play this game again, I’m going to beat my highscore.

Overall I like this game very much. I had an amazing time playing it. It’s kind of frustrating in a addictive way, that’s a positive thing. Thank you so much for this experience and good luck in the future! Have an awesome day, and I hope to see you in the next jam!

Really cool. Intro bit is funny. Love the sugar coma blur effect and the distortion around the edges. It's pretty fun flying around with my pistols shooting candy, seeing what the next one will be. Nice one.

Nicely polished feel, nice pixel art and music was good and really fit the mood too. The sugar overdose effect was a nice touch. Can't think of much to complain about really, perhaps the player movement felt a touch sluggish.By the way on the web version in chrome at least, the full screen button doesn't really make it full screen (shame because I want to get a closer look at the pixel art)

Neat game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 40 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKeEenFsX-8
