This is story of Polly 'l Hoppe, the lollypop that sure likes to hop.

She was set out to save the children from eating too many vegetables, however out of fear of harming the poor little things during the making of this game, all children were  canceled. The game now relies on some good old candy on vegetable violence.

Oh yeah and about the vegetables. Due to budget cuts, the game only includes one vegetable. Still makes a good soup though!

Hope you enjoy.

This was the first game I ever made. I actually just started with game dev about 7 days ago, so you know it's going to be good! ;-)

I did pretty much everything myself, the sprites, the animations, the audio and of course the code. 

The audio is kind of terrible. Sorry about that. I ran out of time to record something decent.  The sound effects are just my voice with some effects. The background music is a loop I recorded using my trusted danelectro, a vox amp and a looper pedal.
I recorded everything on my phone...

I chose the funky color scheme, because, you know.... Candy

I got all 10 in the soup that I can only assume the Polly eats. The art style was also really cool.

Polly sure loves her some soup. Congrats on killing all them pesky veggies! 

Hey. I recorded a video about the Beginners Circle jam and included your game in it. If you want to cut your game out of the video, let me know. However, if you like the video, I make similar videos every day. I will be happy if you subscribe. Anyway, I enjoyed playing your game.

Hi thx for including my game in the video.

You kind of missed the point though, but I guess that's on me. I thought all the pointers were there, the player gains more time as he kills the vegetables, there is at least one direction in which you can not keep traveling without dieing. I thought it would be obvious enough the point is to drop the veggies to a soupy death... 

Guess I should've included better instructions, or at least a couple more pointers. Glad you enjoyed it anyway.

I enjoyed it anyway. :)

Would love to see more of this! Best I can achieve is 8 veggies ...

there's at least one way to solve it.. so if you truly are the master...
