I was not expecting to find easily the most depressing music of my life, in a silly inflation game
this game is pretty cool
why is this so hard man but fun
Not a big fan of how unfair it can be but i guess thats rougelikes for you. invest 20+ minutes only to get stunlocked by a suprise mob.
what this music? i'd love to use it or something similar in my own projects.
Best fat game ever made lol
Is there any debug
How to start new game without dying?
Will there ever be an upload for the song that plays in the game?
is there a reason why eating venus of willendorf produces a discord ping sound a couple of seconds after it's eaten? what was the intent behind this easter egg?
how to defeat boss level?
Can you do it for android armabiv7?
Nooo... Don't tell me there's a size limit. ):
The most big I have gotten so far.
how find endless
This is amazing.
I hope this gets another update sometime... this could really use a bit more endless content (and more refined larger sizes + bigger visual maximums, maybe some soundscape depending on size as well), and maybe an ending where Edith just... becomes the "new" "dungeon" after a certain point.
A bestiary that shows enemy types, all eatable objects, etc. and their stats/what they do which unlocks as long as you eat/defeat that thing at least once would also be really nice.
That aside, I really love what's there.
My one major suggestion besides new content is a mid-run saving feature. I had a power outage an hour into an endless run which wasn't exactly a fun time.
This is the best!!!
How is this game a rogue like? I played it for a good hour or so and still dont feel like im getting more progress from older runs, getting some secrets here and there.
I feel kinda lost. So any help?
DO MORE, AND YOU WILL KNOW.
you're thinking of more of a roguelite, where meta progression is a key part of games like tboi or etg; whereas a roguelike has far less or almost no meta progression, like noita or barony
jiggle animation is glitchy in android port crying rn :(
top game
can you map the input Interact and Eat in E and Q or just space?
What do the items do? I'm still stumped on what the cupcake does.
from what ive gathered it gives some hunger and changes appearance
It makes your clothes different and increases food limit, but I think it wears off, but you keep the extended food limit
super secret!
how
if you eat through the wall directly below you on the final floor, you can enter endless mode. The gutbuster appears on floor 5 onwards.
There's an even bigger enemy in the later floors of endless.
Hope more get added eventually...
I have to say, Wow.
I like your games, you're talented.
hey, where is the game too much jelly ?
I think Yuyanite is fixing that visual bug in the mobile version..
Uh, where is Too much Jelly? I saw the game earlier, I still have it downloaded, but now the page is gone
Yunyanite is simply overwhelmed by her unaware popularity and needs to recover and rest.
You know, I have a game and I want everyone to be able to play it, but sharing it is out of the question due to copyright issues and I know she will probably disagree.
I need a mp3 version of the soundtrack
is the boss battle possible? cause I keep on failing, and I just wanna make sure it's not like a ragebait lol..
besides that, it's an awesome game!! I love it so muchh
the boss is beatable
you have to get lucky with giga stacker on an early floor so you have the capacity to eat all the enemies.
You can stealth kill the common enemies by luring them around a corner. Only start eating enemies when you get low hp. Then you can eat the final boss.
Or if you're really good you can kill every enemy including the boss. I had a run where I gained 0 weight and ended with 0 fullness, and I had to do that for the ending.
Peak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
here's my highest weight and my highest damage in my fifth run
...or as some might say, a mouthful.
Hope this game gets another update eventually
kinda wanna see an expansion of this type of game genre that has more fetishes enabled to be played. roguehyper/rogueinflation/roguepregnancy just to name a few :F
This already has a system in place for specifically BE via the randomly appearing milk on the floors. I hope that gets expanded upon (no pun intended)
I have a few ideas for this game I want implemented
Hope you consider adding this to this pretty good fetish game
Am i imagining it or do sacks make you gain more weight
i just started a new run and my character aint there
Here's my lowest weight. It was 125 before a DISASTROUS floor 4 in which I got a massive RNG roll on the nutrition from a crate of food.
Ending at 0 weight gain and 0 fullness. The only way this could be better is if I managed to find clothes along the way.
holy cow, doing that in just 3:40 is impressive af
oh um, the ingame timer is bugged. If you load a save, the timer resets.
oops, I gotta add that to my bug tracker
still, a 0-gain run is an impressive achievement nonetheless
How do I use CHEAT mode
Cool game. Lots of depth. The nutrition mechanic is pretty obtuse, though. It's not really explained at all, and certain aspects are pretty unintuitive. Like, why would your food capacity only grow when eating food with nutrition? I feel like if I ate a block of ice, my stomach would probably grow.
I suppose the experimentation is half the fun, though. I just wish it didn't take so long to reset a run.
I actually originally had it so that food capacity would grow regardless of nutrition, but that ended up being difficult to control (you could eat everything on floor 1 and steamroll the rest of the game), so limiting it to nutrition intake just felt like the most natural way to curb it.
I do agree that the mechanic itself is a bit obtuse, so I'm thinking about putting an in-game blurb somewhere to help explain that in a later patch.
sweet!
How weight gain is calculated is an enigma to me.
I eat an egg. That 4 nutrition and 2 lbs
I eat 2 hearts. That's 4 nutrition and 2 lbs
I eat meat. That's 5 nutrition and 2 lbs
I eat a heart and an egg. That's 6 nutrition and 5 lbs
Why does an increase of 1 in nutrition lead to a gain of an extra 3 lbs? It makes no sense!
I've noted several amounts of nutrition along with how much they give, and it seems like the weight gain is supposed to be linear, but it has sections where it stays stagnant before jumping up to one less than the nutrition value.
The nutrition-to-weight growth is supposed to be linear, but the actual calculation is a bit funky since I used integers for a lot of the weight stuff.
Basically, for every 3 nutrition, 1 lb is distributed to the belly, 1 lb to the thighs, and 3/4 lb is distributed to the chest (rounded down after sum).
This results in stuff like:
10 nutrition -> 8 lbs
11 nutrition -> 8 lbs
12 nutrition -> 11 lbs
I actually hadn't noticed any of this until you pointed it out, so good catch btw
oh, so that's why milk makes you gain 30 pounds
Can I ask- Does the NULL cube or the SCP-686 milk do anything in the game? I imagine that the milk increases breast size but I have no visual indicators or stats I can look at to confirm that. I have no idea what the Null cube might do
Once you fall asleep, the null cube gives 120 nutrition, which is a strange quantity that first fills up your health, then your weight and stomach capacity. For comparison, the egg gives you 4 nutrition once you fall asleep.
The milk temporarily increases breast size after sleeping. It also causes you to gain 30 lbs.
It's not temporary, it's just a flat increase to the sprite's breast size. Though there's a maximum if you're going for endless runs.
If you don't mind, I'd like to suggest some possible additions, in the form of Modes;
Casual Mode: Everything is easier. Cake doesn't hurt you when it attacks you and you're already full, Coke and Mentos are more potent, enemies do less damage, have less defense, and contain more "FD". Also, the mimic in the boss room is a real sack instead. Intended to better enjoy the fetishy aspects of this fat fetish game.
Competitive mode: Exact opposite of casual mode. It's harder to fill yourself up, enemies have more defense and attack, However, when eating things that increase defense and attack, they do so slightly more than normal. Intended to play into the "game" part of this fat fetish game
Hardcore mode: Exactly like how the game currently is except sacks cannot heal you when you sleep, so you have to use the hearts, and if there are no hearts, then you can't heal.
Also maybe add the ability to continue playing once you eat the boss in the Boss Room
Actually now that I think about it, there's an unfair amount of enemies in the boss room, maybe you should just make the mimic into a real sack, or make it so that defeating a mimic turns them INTO a sack, or something, cause that could fix the balancing issue of the boss room pretty easily
This would all have to be a whole update by itself tho, so like, if you decide to do any of this, take your time and stuff
