Introducing: Nom Chomp!

Play as “Nom” , a bean shaped character that floats down into a vibrant season-themed world.

The Nom tends to stand in one place, but why move when the tastiest little Mites are bouncing all around you? Simply press the left and right directional keys to lift a leg, and let in a roaming Mite (or two, or three..) below you. Once trapped in between your legs, press the down key to take a large bite!

Whenever you manage to eat one or more Sprites, the Nom can’t contain their excitement! They will perform a roll clockwise equal to the number of Mites eaten, and then jump in celebration. This rolling moves the Nom around the planet.

However, all this activity is quite tiring. You only have so much time before night falls, and the Nom gets all tuckered out. As they fall asleep, they plant themselves as a seed.

Once planted, some new element of the season will grow from that spot! This element will spawn new and unique Mites. Eventually with multiple plantings, there will be so much more food around that you can progress further and further each time you play.

There isn’t some larger goal or ambition laid out in our game, but I hope that people grow an appreciation of the Alberta seasons, even a small amount. They can be harsh, pass by quickly, pass by much too slowly, and sometimes it might feel like the grass could be greener elsewhere (which it often is). But I’m here, and importantly these seasons have nourished me in a way that I sometimes struggle to describe.

Thank you for taking a spin with us.
