A bite-sized, mouse-controlled arcade game made in Pico-8. Feed an ancient cosmic terror cheeseburgers, wear him down, and strike before he realizes he’s being tricked.
Once, our planet lived in peace and harmony.
Then came Z’eeth the Terrible — a ravenous cosmic being who feeds on worlds themselves. Faced with total destruction, the galaxy discovered one unlikely weakness: the humble cheeseburger.
In The Hunger of Z’eeth, your mission is simple — and dangerous.
You must feed Z’eeth burgers again and again, lulling him into a distracted, overstuffed stupor. Only when he’s tired and unfocused can you strike back. Attack too early, and Z’eeth will realize your plan… and retaliate.
Gameplay features include:
A timing-based action loop: feed burgers, track progress, and attack strategically
A visible burger counter (for example, 0/50) that shows how close Z’eeth is to becoming sluggish
Increasing challenge as Z’eeth reacts to your actions
Win and fail states with risk-reward gameplay
Full mouse/keyboard controls
Additional content, balancing, and polish will be added during Early Access, but the core gameplay loop is already fully playable.
