Howdy Newgrounds ^_^.

THIS IS A TWO PLAYER GAME, DON'T OPEN IT OR VOTE 0 IF YOU DON'T HAVE SOMEONE TO PLAY WITH!!!

I haven't had much time for Flash lately due to college going on =p. However, I found a club here that host's a once per semester programming competition called Game Jam. The way it works is you are given a theme and 8 hours to create a game. Then everyone gathers and shows off what they were able to make and talks a bit about it. This was my first series attempt at Flash in months, and it was wonderful getting back into it.

This isn't so much for ratings here, as it is for storage since its a slightly large file and my shared hosting server isn't that great =p. Nonetheless I hope the upper echelon here at Newgrounds can respect the quality of the game being given only eight hours for planning and development.

The theme for this Game Jam was "Eating." I took about 15 minutes to generate an idea and write out a timeline of when things needed to be done by. I'm happy that I finished the game on time, and I don't think I would have done anything differently. The game requires two players, instructions in game.

Enjoy?

what the hell?

What's the point of this game, there's nothing to it without an AI. worst game i've played today

everyone was voting 7 so yano... :P

good game but needs AI

NOM NOM!

Very good fun. The game works well. I have to give you props for one of the more interesting loading screens I've ever seen- thought I would suggest not making the background gray.

As for the game itself, it's quite good. The controls are tight and everything works very well. I would have liked to see more characterization between America or France (a 'Yee-ha! here and a 'Socre Blue!' there could have gone a long way toward the comedic quality.) The only weak point is the fact that you have to press a button to eat. I would have thought it to make more sense if you simply had to pass over food to consume it. But the extra button wasn't crippling to gameplay and overall it was good 2 player fun.

Orginal

it's a orginal idea

Good, but needs AI

I don't want to have to wait to play this with a friend. It should have a 1p mode where i go against the computer.

If it had been a 10 hour competition I def. would have made an enemy AI.
