A food-throwing platform game about defeating monsters and managing your weight.
The briefing
Diet Go Go is a single-screen platform game for one or two players. Players clear each screen by throwing food at monsters until they inflate, then touching the inflated enemies to burst them and send them flying into other monsters.
Players must also manage their weight, since food thrown by monsters makes them increasingly fat. Getting too fat costs a life, while occasional diet sodas reverse the effect. Contact with monsters before they are fully inflated is fatal.
The game begins with a world-map selection and progresses through two standard levels before a giant boss encounter. Each completed world leads to the next, with every world featuring its own theme and boss.
