I'm Hungry! I'm Healthy! I'm Human!
A downloadable little thing for Windows and Linux
Originally commissioned by INDIEPOCALYPSE
A tale of survival in the strange wilderness, with danger around every corner! You'll know what to do when you get there. Just laugh and eat and kill, and enjoy the journey. You can win one day if you want. Until then, there's still a life out there.
Inspired by interesting action games, like Takeshi's Challenge.
arrow keys - move
doubletap left/right to dash/airdash, use this to "attack" your foes.
z - jump | x - use item | c - spit item (another form of "attack"?) | space - swallow item
Hold space to craft using current inventory. if a star shows up, it means something will happen. Items are gotten by crafting, killing, or using an item on another one.
press escape to open the menu. Mash R if you get frustrated or stuck.
there's some mysterious mechanics, so it's the kind of game where you'll have to experiment a lot. this might be annoying but. well i have no excuse

This game has a really interesting concept! Using your character’s mouth and stomach as your inventory and attack is really cool. Unfortunately, I hate how it controls. It reminds me of playing Terraria before you automatically walked up ledges, if pressing the movement button twice also sent you flying in the opposite direction.
My list of accomplishments: Crafting boulders, flesh lumps, and cloth, none of which I discovered any use or crafting recipe for; getting to the town (past the incredibly frustrating water section) and defeating a "great enemy", which for the sake of my sanity I'm going to pretend was the final boss; making it to the far left of the map and getting blocked by an invisible wall.
I also made it to the graveyard. I'm pretty sure one time I even made it to the cave before the sniper shot me, but then he shot me anyway. At least twice I managed to perfectly dash up the hill on every jump without ever bouncing off, and still got shot. Clearly there's something I'm missing. Perhaps I can craft cloth, boulder and flesh together to make a bulletproof vest. Either way, my finger now has a blister on it, so that's probably where I should call it for this one. Cool concept, but I struggled to enjoy it very much.I'm going to recommend to my friends, though, who I think would love it. EDIT: oh one thing I forgot to mention. The music is great. I especially liked the fortress/castle track.
