Cool game, it's really fun to play.
Neat game. Any thoughts on adding a 2-player mode? I imagine racing each other for the food while avoiding the monsters would be loads of fun.
I've definitely thought about it! I might do a Tic-80 version, I think it'd work well with the wider screen.
Really awesome game! I love the art, level design and music. I also appreciate the various platform options!
Thank you!
