Food Push by Kieron Gillespie

Updates

6/30/2010 3:30AM EST: 1.4 Final version for Apps for Healthy Kids. There are now hats you can pick up and wear, chef hat, a floppy red hat, and a spartan helm. They will randomly appear after day 4. High Score is displayed under current Score. Rescaled food items. Want to thank everyone for the feed back, it's been very helpful.

6/29/2010: Version 1.3.7, Minor bug fixes, defaults to full screen mode now.

6/28/2010: Version 1.3.6, High Score is saved, and displayed on game over. Day 1 there is no time limit, and no cakes. Now one food of each type should be on the table at all times.

6/28/2010: Version 1.3.5, Carrot man now moves faster, and it's easier to push.

Description

Food push is a fun, and exciting video game that teaches, and entertains. It's simple, you just push food onto the child's plate to make him eat. Make sure he gets all his servings of fruits, vegetables, dairy, grain, and meat without having him go over his daily amount of calories. If you get him all his daily servings a new day will begin for you to start all over again. Try to get the most points, but watch out for those pesky cakes!

Rules

*Get the food onto the child's plate by pushing it onto it.
*Make sure he gets his daily servings of each food group without going over his daily amount of calories.
*You only have five minutes to get his daily servings on the plate! *Fruit, and Veggies are worth 200 points!
*Grain, dairy, and meat are worth 100 points.
*Cake will cost you 100 points.
*WATCH OUT FOR THOSE CAKES!
*Watch out for cake! It's empty calories!
*You can throw food into the trash to remove it from the table, and possible get a different piece of food.
*Food that falls off the table will be placed back onto the table.
*Have the child eat his daily serving, and a new day will begin, but expect more cake!
