Said about the game
"If you take breaks during a game jam, your game's gonna suck!"
-- Jonathan Blow, source (you can see my name in chat)
Play on Twitch here: https://twitch.tv/stanovplays

A game where you keeping alive a guy roaming across the screen by using the Twitch commands (type '!help' for help).
You have to count with the lag and be accurate.
You can also switch the food you create.
The more players playing at the same time, the more fun! (your experience may vary tho)
I'll try to make the game running on Twitch as much as possible.
When Twitch stream is down or not responsive to commands
You can play the WebGL version without Twitch integration. Or download the binary with an input box GUI to play the game locally. The game is much less challenging then because of the absence of Twitch lag :)
You can also follow the Twitch channel and be notified when the game is up.
Special thanks
- Thomas the Rather for hosting the game on his laptop during days while my laptop was used for work!
- My lovely wife to take care of everything so I could have created the game :)
Compo notes
The graphics were made by my 5 yo daughter. I'll let you decide whether I'm still eligible for compo or not.
I post-compo fixed an issue with disconnecting from Twitch chat after some time.
Also the native binaries and WebGL were compiled post-compo. The input-field was created in Compo time tho.

I do like that it auto-restarts the game, so that it can be enjoyed as a Twitch experience even without your presence, other than it apparently being disconnected since !help isn't working. I think Twitch integration is really neat, so it's fun to see that in a compo game even if I can't play it yet!
Loved the art and the music was perfect. Well done!
I checked offline webgl version, and can confirm that '!help' doesn't work there. Also you can use commands like 'A5' there, without '!' sign, and it works.
Such live interaction brings refreshing experience.
I'm lucky that just met you on Twitch.
It really could be a different game with many players.
Love the music. Graphics from your daughter are so cute.
The switching of food is a good feature as well.
As others have said, It is not easy to count with the lag and be accurate.
Even the WebGL version is too hard for me. :smirk:
I feel the Twitch lag around 5s may still be acceptable with some practice.
Hope it could be better solved in future.
