Chomp City

"What'll it be? Bags, boxes, I got it all."

YOU STARVED

The city always wins. But the Chompdex remembers.

CHOMP CITY

107 FOODS ARE LOOSE ON THE STREETS

You're hungry, and it only gets worse. Catch food in the tall grass of the city's parks and lots to stay alive. Coins buy better bags and boxes at food carts. Power-ups are hidden around the city. Watch for cars. Nobody lasts forever.
Somewhere uptown, the Pizza Sandwich waits.

Move: arrows / WASD / pad · Throw: Space (or a bag), then again to throw · Dex: X · Choccy Milk: M

THE GOAL

You're always getting hungrier, and it gets worse the longer you last. Catch food to heal. When your health hits zero, you starve. Last as long as you can and fill your Chompdex.

MOVING

Arrow keys or WASD, or the pad on a phone. Your shape follows your health:

Chubby (70+ health): 15% slower, but hunger builds up more slowly.
Normal (40-69): regular speed.
Starving (under 40): 35% faster, flailing, and the screen pulses red.

FINDING FOOD

Walk through tall grass in parks and empty lots. Each patch gives one food, then turns brown until it grows back. A sparkly smell in the grass leads to something rare. Uptown and Sweet Street have the fanciest food.

CATCHING

Press Space (or tap a bag) to start the ring, then press again while the ring is small. Smaller ring, better throw. Space always uses the plain paper bag. Tap a fancier bag to use it instead.

HONK: easier to catch, but more likely to run.
VIBE: calms it down, so it's less likely to run.
RUN: walk away.

Hunger drains at half speed while you're catching. Sometimes a food is shiny: new colors, a sparkle, and more health.

CARS

Cars never stop for you, and a hit costs 22 health. Now and then a car with a red "!" hunts you down. Get into a battle in the grass to shake it off. Watch out for the pink racers: they're twice as fast as anything else, but they never chase you.

COINS AND BAGS

Every catch pays coins. Spend them at food carts (the striped stands) on better bags: Burrito Bag, Lunchbox, Bento, Expensive Handbag, and the Funny Dog, which always catches.

POWER-UPS

Power-ups wait on the sidewalks. Walk over one to wear it for the rest of the run:

Chef's Hat: rarer food, better catches, more health.
Party Hat: sweets heal more, and you're a bit faster.
I ♥ Chomp City shirt: cars hurt half as much, and drop snacks more often.
3D Glasses: twice as many shinies.
Bunny Slippers: 15% faster.
Big Boy Bib: blocks one car hit, then another turns up.

SNACKS

Cars sometimes drop snacks in the road: popcorn (easier catches, one per run), pizza (rarer food from the first one, health after that), and burgers (a Goochi Bag). Choccy Milk turns up too. Carry two and drink one with M or the CHOC button for +40 health and a burst of speed.

THE CHOMPDEX

Press X or the CHOMPDEX button to see every food and power-up you've found. Catch the Pizza Sandwich to unlock a special hat.
