Billy's Big Day by Kitty553
Once upon a time Billy wanted to grow big enough to eat the Sun.

Really tight controls, and has a great rhythm. It's too hard to reach the end though!
I ate the sun.
10/10
Seriously though, the game was pretty nice. My complaint is that the non-food items aren't distinct enough. I feel the red outlines blend in too well, if they were white it might have worked. Also, I found everything blinking in and out of visibility every so often. Not sure if that's a glitch or just the game trolling me.
The visual design is great, it's clear from the getgo what you want to eat and what you should avoid, the music is a glorious epic tune fit for billy's epic quest to morbid childhood obesity and adds a fun rhythm to play to.
All around, it's a really well done game, super difficult but super rewarding when you finally beat it.
Couldn't find a reason to go lower than five in any category, congratulations guys you all did great work here.
Would have been nice to see a list of possible falling things and which were good/bad/powerups. Didn't take long to figure it out, but would have been good to get a heads up. Otherwise, great stuff!
Please try to get mac/web builds too , if possible :)
Game was very awesome before the space level!
The 'powerup' wasn't super useful, however, it kind of made things even more complicated.
The fact that the music syncs up to the food sounds is very clever and satisfying.
I think the timer aspect of the game was a bit unsatisfying... I think there are better losing conditions than the time running out, because when you lose it's like "oh, I guess I lost", and if you are slow at the start then there's not much you can do.
Fortunately when I died I tried again and I managed to beat it :) I had fun playing this game, thanks for making it!
