Actually, that gives me a different idea. Instead of upping the food drop rate, as it should be fine past the beginning, if it’s only the beginning where you’d stumble, I’d rather go with more starting food instead! That way the beginning is pulled up

I’m loving it so far. Definitely have a few things that are either unclear or could use polish, and an issue or two.
-
Having to turn around at the start in order to get the tutorial note is pretty unintuitive on your first run. The way forward being totally open doesn’t give much reason to turn around and see what might be behind you. By comparison, the other notes are easy enough to find.
-
RNG seems a little too skewed against the player at times. It could actually just be me being generally unlucky, but a lot of times attacks will repeatedly miss even with the miss chance being <20%, while enemies just slap you left and right. Challenge has to come from somewhere, and I’ve only died once so far, but it could make things more difficult as more content comes out.
-
Relatedly, some weapon upgrades and types have an unexpected debuff to accuracy. Daggers are generally considered a high dexterity weapon option, trading damage for accuracy, but they both have a very low accuracy rating. Likewise, the iron sword is less accurate than the wooden sword.
-
Some of the spells don’t seem to work, or seem to just be overly weak. Regeneration only heals a flat 5HP a turn, outpaced by even the weakest enemy’s attacks. I’ve not seen Blind or the shield spell do basically anything so far.
-
If you interact with text too quickly, it can interrupt itself. The text log is fine, it’s just the box that is affected.

As blasphemous as it sounds to say this about a weight gain game, the options available for losing weight are pretty minimal. Are you meant to spam spells to burn fat or spend a lot of time resting and eating just enough to keep satiety from zeroing? The main place weight becomes an issue so far is when ladders and crawlspaces are involved. Unless I’m missing some method of making float actually let you go up and down, anything that’s on an elevated ledge is locked out when you’re too fat to climb a ladder, locking you out of the current trader NPC entirely. Crouching so far only has optional treasure loot you can miss by comparison.
-
On rare occasions, the settings option in the pause menu does not work. I haven’t been able to reproduce this again, but I believe it occurred after leaving the intermission room and looping back to level 1.

I’ve also found it a little odd Float doesn’t let you float up ladders. Balancing, I guess.

Maybe you’re too fat to reach the rungs since your belly gets in the way XD
But in all seriousness I do agree that it is odd that Float keeps you mobile but unable to ascend

not sure if its intended but you can go up the elevator areas that require you to be fat, from there use float and possibly get around.
Not being able to reach the rungs makes sense, but if you float off an elevated platform with float enabled, you stay on the same level, which suggests that the spell is capable of making even an immobile character float a considerable distance above ground, which would allow for moving up and down. As for using an elevator lift to get up, you can do that, but on the current map you cannot traverse from those rooms to e.g. the room with the trader NPC from the higher level.
Incidentally, I have not found a way to get past the bars in the trader NPC’s room to get the treasure chest. The only switch I’ve found so far opens up to the optional skeleton boss.

Finally got around to trying this bad boy out, and I had quite a lot of fun with it. I like how weight offers different benefits and drawbacks, like being able to use heavier equipment when heavier, but being unable to use lighter equipment, or your moves changing depending on equipment.
I do think it’s a bit curious that out of the three playable characters, two are bunny related. Not gonna complain, though. Louie kinda fits into that big-footed fatfur niche for me.

Louie’s actually more Kangaroo-esque than bunny-esque, but I can see what you mean

Just gave it a shot… And by a shot I mean about a two hour session!! It’s incredibly fun!! My only gripe is that I died while levitating, falling into a pit of lava I couldn’t see, losing all my progress… Kind of annoying to need to play for so long to get back to the weight I was at (around 900 kilos), but doesn’t mean I wont give reaching 1 ton a shot some other time. Genuinely amazing stuff!! :>
