Lipomancers Ruins v0.1

Hello, and welcome to The Lipomancer's Ruins. This is a proof of concept game that I'm designing to figure out how to make RPGlike games in Twine. It isn't much, really, but hopefully this game will lay the groundworks for better, more fleshed-out (haha) games. If you guys really like this game, though, perhaps I'll also flesh this one further out in future updates too. But anyways, that's enough rambling. Let's stab some snacks. [[Begin->main]] (set: $hp to 20) (set: $coins to 10) (set: $days to 1) (set: $lbs to 120) (set: $wp to 0) (set: $apple to 0) (set: $cake to 0) (set: $streak to 0) (set: $tstreak to 0) (set: $haha to 0) (set: $ohok to 0)

(if: $lbs > 749)[As you are stuffing your face with food, you hear a cracking sound. Suddenly, the chair you're sitting on breaks under you! You try to get up, but it's no use. You are completely immobile. The villagers around you quickly take notice of this and come together to try and lift you up. The group of villagers haul you out of the Inn out to the village square. Then they set you down...And just leave you there. You try to call for their attention, but the villagers simply ignore you and continue going about their day no matter how much you shout. Eventually, night falls and all the villagers head into their homes and lock up... *The next morning, the Adventurer was no longer in the Town Square. The villagers breathed a sigh of relief. She may not have been able to free them from the wrath of the Lipomancer's Ruins, but she would at least make a good enough sacrifice to keep the beasts that live within it appeased for a while.* *Hopefully at least until the next adventurer comes to the village.* GAME OVER [[Continue->init]]](Else:)[Day $days.

A monster made of various foods and snacks appears! (set: $monster_hp to 3) [[Fight!]] [[Flee!]]

(if: $lbs > 749)[When the food monster strikes, you lose your balance and fall backwards, landing on your rear. When you try to get up, you notice that you are unable to lift your own weight anymore! It would seem that the monster also realizes this, and has stopped attacking you. Instead, it gets more of its friends. Eventually a rarge crowd of various food monsters of various shapes and sizes have gathered around you, then they start getting closer. One of them starts trying to stuff itself into you. You try to resist, but more and more of the creatures start feeding themselves to you. It seems like you'll be stuck here for a while. On the bright side, the chances of you starving to death are incredibly low.

When you finally wake up, you find yourself on the ground deep within the ruins. You try to get up, but your body refuses to move! That's when you notice that you are much larger now than when you first entered the ruins. It would seem that the monster fed you to immobility while you were asleep! And, judging by the looks of things, it seems like they aren't quite done feeding you... GAME OVER [[Continue->init]]

You have collected $drop coins from the monster's body! You have $coins coins and you health is $hp/20.
