Everything in Moderation
A little game for the 4th BenBonk Game Jam. His YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/BenBonk
Using just 4 colors was a required limitation of this jam so I decided to make my game very green-forward since I associate BenBonk with that color. I started by selecting this palette by Tofu: https://lospec.com/palette-list/moonlight-gb and then modified it a bit.
The optional theme was "keep it away" so I thought of my experiences with dieting and how that mostly involved keeping food away. Then I thought that it'd be better to promote enjoying things in moderation rather than totally forgoing food. So the goal of this game is maintaining a balance.
You will be assisting Sam in keeping a healthy body weight and her struggles are represented in 5 minigames chosen at random. Most of them will involve keeping her away from junk food but letting her enjoy a little is also key to your success. Her weight is always in a state of flux. After each minigame, the difficulty ramps up slightly and by the end, the games can be fast-paced.

i just got the donut one 5 times in a row
Thanks for letting me know! In the jam, people brought that up too so I just now updated it. You shouldn't get repeats anymore, at least back-to-back. I probably should've done it sooner
Really great graphics and gameplay, I personally like the game a lot.
Very fun minigames, getting 5 completed in a row was just enough of a challenge. The presentation of the game was fantastic as well.
Thank you so much for playing and the kind feedback!
