The story and the soundtrack really sets the mood. Great intro!

BUG: Every time I eat a muffin the game freezes so I can't score you on anything yet! Are you going to fix it? I'll bookmark and wait for a reply/ update =)

Also - For next time, delete the .pdb files as they're not needed. Makes download time much shorter.

A good idea for a game and a good prototype. The music of the intro can be in the game to keep, it is suitable.

The graphics were pretty good. Excellent animation The music got kinda repetitive though. I liked the concept. Good job.

The graphics were absolutely incredible!!! The intro rocked!! I've always wanted to include a separate comic book with a game (like as a PDF) but I just don't have those skills. lol.. Nice job!

Cool entry! I liked the introduction and the bizarre story, i didn't understand very well how to play it at first, but it was fun trying to get it.. it was a lot of trial and error for me.. but great game anyways!

It's a pretty good game. I really like the originality of the graphism and of the story, but i never used tha "fat" version on max, throwing muffin is very overpowered like the propulsor. Nice entry

I loved the intro! A very serious story to set the tone :p
I liked the graphics too - the style fits the game really well. However, there were a few bugs - as you know - which is unfortunate, but understandable given the time constraint. Good work nonetheless, I wish more Ludum Dare games had an intro as good as this one!

Well, i hope to come back to this later. As it is it could use some polish; make the muffins disappear after taking them, give an objective, tutorial, that sort of thing.

The story is nice, the graphics are good, but the game needs more polish in the mechanics part: I never got to use the fat forms, because flying to the other side was the easiest, and becoming fat required too much resources to be useful.

You could make it more balanced if each muffin could last more than one use, so constantly shifting back and forth was possible ad useful. Keep up the good work!
