Overview

"Bite the food, not the dust."

Story

The story is about the fruitful relationship of a pair of giant lips and a fast food restaurant called Star Drive-In.

The game begins with the grand opening of the restaurant. Initially, only cola and burgers are sold, but the lineup improves rapidly in the next couple of weeks.

The lips show up because the restaurant announces that they throw away every food that became too cold to be served. This quickly becomes a steady source of free food for the lips, which can only be maintained if at least half of the food get consumed otherwise the decrease of the production will be inevitable.

Not long afterward, however, misfortune struck. An unknown employee starts to add purple pickles to the orders of the unsuspecting customers causing bigger and bigger troubles for the restaurant.

The lips have to avoid those pickles and collect enough calories week after week in this rapidly growing epidemic called the Great Regurgitation.

Gameplay

On every level a random number of purple pickles, mains, sides, and drinks are being generated over 15 seconds. The higher the level the more is the total calorie of these foods, so the more it needs to be consumed to get to the next level.

Look out for the purple pickles. Every level has more and more of them and they make you lose your 3 last eaten food.
