Reason for the the Special Award

First of all, I was amazed at how it looked. The giant screen, the rifle with lots of gimmicks, the questionable-looking headset, and the mysterious cookies in three different colors.

These parts comprise the idea of “Overcome picky eating, chew your food well to store up power, and defeat the enemy,” to create a never-before-seen or heard-of dietary education gun shooting game.

Although there are some things I would like to see improved, such as the difficulty in understanding what you are supposed to do before you hear the explanation, the clumsiness of the gun shooting part, and the contradiction of the message of wanting to cure picky eating by defeating enemies that are the vegetables you are supposed to like, this award was given to this title for the way in which it captures the hearts of children, the target audience, and the enthusiasm with which the creators approached the unaddressed theme of dietary education.

You can feel the fun the creators had in creating this game and when playing it you cannot help but smile. It is a wonderful game.

Work Introdution


Overcome picky eating with this “Eat, smile, and
defeat the enemies!” game.
The type and number of bullets change
depending on what food you eat and the number
of times you chew.
The player eats food she doesn’t like and then
smiles at the camera to load the bullets.
She then shoots down the attacking monsters of
carrots, bell peppers, and tomatoes.
When all of the bullets are gone, the player eats
and smiles again to reload more bullets.
This is a unique and serious dietary education
game for overcoming picky eating.
