Neat entry. I like how you have to keep a balance of both veggies and junk food. Cool idea that obstacles and stuff that hurts you can also be beneficial in some circumstances.

when you're in "thin" mode, you can kind of "hang on" to the platform directly next to you, is that how it's supposed to work???
1 comment though, audio-wise and that might be personal taste, but the vegetable-sfx sounds like it's "bad" while the sweets/cookies sound sounds like it's "good"

however the easiest way to complete this game is just to avoid everything you can

@John & Wompus: Thanks!
@sirius: That's a collision thing, I could have fixed it but I liked it. Vegetables are supposed to be bad since you don't really want them, but sometimes need them.

interesting gamepplay, I like the fat bar mechanic ! It seems that the easiest way to finish the game is just rushing eating cakes and vegetables without thinking. Maybe sou should have put level without one kind so the player have to pay more attention

Very good concept. But it's too hard to balance the weight.

Nice entry! Controls are a bit sloppy, but overall that's a nice concept, and well executed. Just one thing: I reached the (final?) room that said I won the game and I could create blocks pressing Z. But nothing happens when I press Z, that's unfair :) Maybe because my keyboard is azerty?
