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.
