At night you can't be hurt.
Press "SPACE" when over bodies to snack nonstop till sunrise.

KNOWN BUGS/ISSUES:
- Bodies stack on top of each other, can sometimes be iffy with scoring.

THAT was cool!!!
Haha, hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for playing and leaving a comment!
Excellent work in 3 hours! The gameplay is very cool and the minimalist design works very well.
Thanks for leaving a comment! There was a lot more I wanted to do but I'm glad I was able to shove in what I could and somehow produce something that doesn't absolutely fall apart:)
Hahaha I started playing without reading the description, and thought the orbs were the snacks. When it turned out the PEOPLE were the snacks my mind was blown. Awesome.
Also, I like snacks!
Haha, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I approve of your enthusiasm around snacking 100%.
I like this! It would be good to have a bit more of a heads-up when the night is about to end (since I can't watch what I'm doing and keep an eye on the moon at the same time), and I found that sometimes I couldn't collect an orb without moving off it and back on again, but for three hours this is fantastic work! It's got a great look and feel to it.
Ah thanks! I did originally have almost every sprite on the screen more gradually fade to night and back into morning (to better signal the change AND fit the theme more) but I couldn't get it to work right within the time limit:( I also messed around with different sounds and all, but nothing came together in time either. Glad you had a chance to play it through and thanks for the feedback!
