This game is absolutely ridiculous and I love it. The midi piano soundtrack really works with the general happy-bonkers aesthetic the game is going for. Honestly I don't think I'll ever get sick of watching Cubidoo rocket into the air out of my screen.

I started by instantly rolling right as hard as I could and fell into infinity! Then I reloaded and saw your comment. Awesome. Game was very rolly and silly, could not figure out how to grab the pizza. Got granny-ed a few times, but seems fun.

Yeah, I'm having trouble figuring out how to play this. It seems the controls freeze up after a fixed amount of time, but I honestly can't tell why. Also, is only one of the two roving old folks supposed to be deadly? The granny grabbed me but the grandpa just seemed to push me around or something.

It's a bit buggy, and after a while I randomly lose control and the dog stops (I don't know if that's intentional or not), but overall good job. Nice work guys.

Thanks for the awesome bug report guys! WE are trying our best to reduce the number of bugs in the post-jam build. The more you diss on this game the better it becomes. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!! d=====(￣▽￣*)b

Really nice game. I love the idea and it's pretty funny. I encounter some bugs and at some point I couldn't move for some reason.

The graphics are really cool, I love the 3d feel you were able to put even with the pixel graphics. Really good job!

I really like the aesthetics of the game, very well done! The theme is pretty well represented in this game as well, being a fat cube is tough life.

It seemed as if there never spawned another pizza slice after I got the first one, even though the messages told otherwise, or atleast despite scouring the whole level through I couldn't find another one. It also simply crashed at some point when I flew out of the house and was going back in.

Great stuff nevertheless!

Love the art-style and the movement system. Sadly got stuck quite a few times on the table with the chicken on it.

Pretty good entry, nice interpretation of the theme! I had fun going around in the house and getting some food, and pretty cute character! :D
I just happened to get caught a bit too much by the two IAs, at some point as soon as I was caught and tried to escape, I got caught again, which was a bit annoying :x And actually I thought that the game didn't really need these AIs to be fun. Without the AI, to make the player lose at some point I think just some adjustment of the food to spawn and the way to go bigger/smaller would have been enough. Comparing the time of other players would have been nice too, if you want to do so for your next jam, I recommend you to have a look at dreamlo. :)

@soldierbear @MewSoul Thanks for for the bug report and suggestions! I tweaked the configurations on the AI in the latest build. But I have no idea how the player would be able to get stuck on the table lol. Guess we have a LOT of playtesting ahead of us.

Pretty tough to play when you get stuck, constantly being grabbed by the dudes, especially since they can catch up in no time, but I still managed to get all the pizza!
Wild and catchy graphics, original idea, good job!
