🍪 The Piece-full Gingerbread Man

A game made in 3 hours for TriJam #328 – Theme: “Consume your health for power”

Run, crumble, and outwit your pursuers in The Piece-full Gingerbread Man, a quirky and strategic arcade game where your own body is both your curse... and your greatest weapon.

🕹 Controls

  • Move: Arrow keys or ZQSD

  • Drop a body part: SPACE

🎮 The Concept

You are a little gingerbread man on the run from ravenous red goblins. They won’t stop chasing you until they've had a bite (or two... or more).

But you have a trick up your sugary sleeve:
Press SPACE to drop a piece of your body. The goblins will be instantly drawn to it.

If a goblin eats one piece, it turns yellow – temporarily satisfied, but still dangerous.
If a yellow goblin manages to eat a second piece of your body... BOOM! 💥 It explodes, taking down nearby goblins with it.

It’s not just about survival – it’s about turning your self-sacrifice into a weapon.
Control the crowd. Drop bait. Set up explosive chain reactions. And above all, don’t let them eat too much of you... there won’t be anything left.
