I really like this game. I think it has the highest potential out of all weight-gain games on itch.io. The only thing this game needs now is time for all the ideas. I tried the game first on mobile, found it a bit buggy and hard, then finished it on pc. After I played on one save over a long time I made Erith massive, and then proceeded to make her eat the entire map as she was gigantic while having the rubik's cube skin.
Here's the screenshot I took.
After that I accidentally erased that savefile. But then I downloaded version 1.1 and started saving my games in a special folder. Then I started to find the endless dungeons to be a bit dull, so I started to check the code of the of the savefile.
Here's a portion of the savefile code in notepad++.
Eventually I started to wonder how I could change the values inside the game. I found the code segment above which actually contained almost everything about Erith. Her clothing, hp, food status and all other stats. To try and manipulate the code I started to compare savefiles and figured our that all the odd characters were numbers in ASCII which could be translated into hexadecimals. From there I compiled a small list of the different variables values and found out how to set their values to a specific number.
Here's the list i compiled in notepad.
And eventually I was able to give Erith more hunger points, but not manually increase her weight. So what I did was open a new savefile with a few million hunger points and made her eat to a point which I found her weight to be good enough. Here is her on the edited savefile.
This game is great. The only thing I'm thinking of is how she is able to be so big and still be so nimble in the tight corridors of the dungeon. Really, I don't think I have any right to say which direction this game should go, but I think that as she gets bigger she'll run into problems of size. She should get stuck and take up more spaces as she gets bigger. But as this is an 2d game I'd figure that it might not be totally easy to do in any scenario and might need alot of changes in how the game is coded. Honestly I think as this game is quite young you could look into making it 3d, but only if you think you could manage it. Otherwise, everything is great. And make sure to really take your time with this project, I would love to see more on this, but I can understand some of the limits of this game.
This is a very nice write up! I actually didn't know how the save files were internally structured by Godot, so I enjoyed reading about your technical dive into save editing.
I definitely would like to figure out a satisfying way to incorporate size effects. Not too sure what'll come out of it, but I'm thinking about experimenting with some of the stuff you've mentioned as a starting point.
Great! Ask me if you need anything that is about manipulating the code. I could try and give the notepad document of the different hexadecimal values and how to put them in. I've manage to edit both level depth and body weight. I can show a bit of them, and some other things, look primarily at health and food bars to see the different changes. -1 Food, accidentally cropped the image, but this lead Erith to lose her entire belly and chest.
Massive room full of enemies, see depth. Also at this point the game starts to lag, and Erith's jiggles are distorted. When she walks fast her belly starts to fly all across the screen, which reminds me of playing on the phone where the same thing started happening.
See dungeon depth.
Also how do I activate the cheat code? I tried it on console, but it didn't connect to my game. And keyboard didn't work when I tried it. Is anything specific that you can use or any code segment to turn it on?
I've only tested out the cheat code on my computer and my phone, so I'm not too sure how to troubleshoot that. Sorry.
The pinch and konami code are the only two ways to active the cheat in-game, but the cheat toggle is saved as a boolean value under "NO_MILK_RESET" in the options.ini file (same directory as the save file), so if you're willing to do a bit more digging, I guess you could try flipping a 0 to a 1 somewhere.
Oh, yeah it works as intended, only that I forgot to do it on the start screen. And I checked the options file and saw that a 1 already was written for the "NO_MILK_RESET", but it seemed that another 0 turned into a 1 after successfully inserting the code. Thank you! I can't wait to try this out and maybe find a way to manipulate the cheat further!
I highly advice to use for future projects the Redot engine instead of Godot. Mainly because Redot will have more updates. (Plus the creators of Redot will not care to police your thoughts if you use their engine)
as of now it is definitely a really fun concept but for when this is a full game i'd recomend having the cheat mode locked until you beat the game like you do in some sonic games. either way i do love how you reintroduced the bug very cool (pretend this is a thumbs up emoji)
🤤🤤REALLY enjoying this game. might trying reach depth 50 on endless mode, but really what effect did [EXCEPTION_NULL] cube do? is it just milk with 0-fd?
Once you reach the boss floor, eat any of the walls south of the room you spawned in. This should open up a secret room containing a hole leading to the first endless floor.
I also tried it multiple times.. so to verify: is it the little room you spawn in? or is it the room with the grid? the room with all the food or the room where the boss burger spawns? I tried exactly as you said the room where I spawned in and it shows no signs of a secret floor/hole?
If someone can get a score over 9000 I will tell them how to get a score even further beyond. (Warning: It is very time consuming) Here's my best (Not using said technique)
The post got deleted before I can say anything but I shall reveal it anyways (Yes it's extremely time consuming and is only for the Jam version.) When you consume the cube eating ice walls 1 at a time will provide more weight due to the modifier. Thank you for your interest/
Phenomenal. Realizing I could eat ANYTHING except the hole to the next floor was a game changer. Yummy, yummy ice...
Issues: No resolution scaling makes playing this on anything more than 1080p resolution very difficult.
Improvements: I WANT TO GET BIGGER. Might be cool if there was a reward to killing things the old fashion way so then there'd be an actual choice between eating something or attacking/interacting with it. The limitation of needing to find a bed to digest is good, but once you find it, that just means you end up eating everything from then on.
I agree, I'm also Arabic btw I'm so happy cause ur the firs Arabic person I see share the same taste actually I've never share this with anyone (you know how our society is )
Amazing gameplay loop. Satisfying to slowly increase in strength while balancing the one shot nature of eating to attacking the monsters with damage. Hoping you add more to this game
This is soooooo good, can't wait to see what you do next, whether it's iterating on this or something new! You clearly have a very solid grasp of game design AND what is appealing to specifically me re: WG - that is, the sense of progression!

can you make a giant cake
cuz I love it how easy I can beat it :)
How many floors are there if you don't go through the endless floors
my dumbass after eating the sack for the 50th time
I had a line for this, sadly lost my thoughts.
we can make are custom level any we can
can you make custom level cuz I love it so make
i'll think about it, but no promises
That'd be super satisfying, but of course if you wanna update further in the future like you said.
ok no promises
oh wow, I don't think I've seen this bug before
it could be a mobile specific issue, but I'm not sure
I highly advice to use for future projects the Redot engine instead of Godot. Mainly because Redot will have more updates.

and how to open a cheat mod
genuinely a really fun game
Man.
Im gonna give a hint for everyone.
You should pray before playing this game cuz you need RNG to do this.
It is highly in RNG but secret rooms just make you a god if used correctly.

Could you please create a mobile port?
After looking into it more today, I'm ready to say a mobile port is work in progress!
holy cow, you did a LOT
🤤🤤REALLY enjoying this game. might trying reach depth 50 on endless mode, but really what effect did [EXCEPTION_NULL] cube do? is it just milk with 0-fd?
Wait, what does milk do and how do you get it?
Milk bottles can occasionally* be found off the ground while exploring, and drinking milk increases chest size after sleeping.
*you can either blame RNGesus or me if you somehow didn't find any milk in your run
what exactly does the nul cube do?
love yer work, keep it up
do you have a discord server or smth similar?
I don’t have a discord server or anything like that, sorry.
I love this game how big is she gonna get
trying to find the endless floor near spawn boss room but no dice
Click to reveal
Once you reach the boss floor, eat any of the walls south of the room you spawned in. This should open up a secret room containing a hole leading to the first endless floor.
I did what you said but i don't see the endless floor door
First, check that you’re playing on the latest update (I haven’t updated the browser version yet as of writing this, sorry about that)
Next,
thanks :D
I also tried it multiple times.. so to verify:
is it the little room you spawn in?
or is it the room with the grid?
the room with all the food or the room where the boss burger spawns?
I tried exactly as you said the room where I spawned in and it shows no signs of a secret floor/hole?
I’ve posted an animated guide in the neighboring reply. Sorry about the confusion, hopefully that clears things up a bit.
If someone can get a score over 9000 I will tell them how to get a score even further beyond. (Warning: It is very time consuming) Here's my best (Not using said technique)

I liek eating
cardboardice blocks.This feels like an old arcade game, which raises the question of what its Kill Screen/Kill Score would be if it has/had one.
So much potential
I agree, I'm also Arabic btw I'm so happy cause ur the firs Arabic person I see share the same taste actually I've never share this with anyone (you know how our society is )
Thats absolutely cool !
It is, nice pfp btw.
Hakim Ziyech is him
ooohhh waw and you also know Hakim Ziyech !
OFC who don't
Is there any platforms you post art / development updates on? I'd love to see more stuff from you!
I don't post art all too often, but I do have an account on Deviantart
Please make it playable for mobile.
Seriously good! the wall eating is very clever. I got stuck on the boss battle because there wasnt a pillow and I filled up on accident
really good game with potential
Show post...
Great demo, my biggest hope is that you add more to it (Levels and progression) The potential for this game is insane, please don't lose the ball
Amazing gameplay loop. Satisfying to slowly increase in strength while balancing the one shot nature of eating to attacking the monsters with damage. Hoping you add more to this game
Can you add a endless mode i think it be interesting on how big youd get
An endless mode is work in progress!
very excited for that!! :D
