Content specific issues

This game features very mild violence. Enemies can be defeated by throwing food at them, which causes them to change colour and fly off-screen. If the player's character is hit by an enemy, he will freeze in place and all food remaining in the level will fly at him. This does not result in any visible harm or hurt. The basic visuals and gameplay mechanics make the violence less disturbing.
