The venus fly trap is the main character of Feed Me.
Appearance[]
The venus fly trap appears as a green plant with a straight stem and a large head. Its head is shaped like a V, with a long, pink tongue on the inside of its mouth. The plant also has an white eye with black pupils on each side of its head.
The entire plant is inside a brown pot, with several roots dangling out of the pot.
Game information[]
Feed Me[]
A venus fly trap after eating a fly.
In the character's debut game, Feed Me, the venus fly trap is trying to escape a greenhouse. In this game, the player uses the mouse to direct where the fly trap moves its head and mouth. Holding down the left mouse button will cause the fly trap to extend its neck as far as it can to get its head to the location where the mouse is.
When the head reaches as close as possible to the mouse (or when the mouse button is released), it snaps its mouth shut, clamping on to whatever surface, or eating whatever bug it is touching. The neck will then retract, pulling the rest of the plant to the head if it is clamped onto a surface, or pulling the head back to the plant if it is not locked onto anything. Using this method, the player has to pull the plant and its pot along the level by grabbing surfaces and dragging itself forward. If the venus fly trap bites on to a moving platform, its neck and pot will swing back and forth to the left and right, while shortening until it shortens to its regular length.
The venus fly trap has five health (called "energy"), which can be lost when it touches a hazard or is hit by an enemy. Energy cannot be regained. It is tracked by a meter of five hearts on the top of the screen, each heart being a different shade of green.
Eating bugs will extend the neck of the venus fly trap, allowing it to reach farther (which is often required to complete levels). The highest possible length the venus fly trap can reach without pushing the "neck length" meter off the screen is 209, however, as the neck only extends in increments of 5, the highest it can reach is 205. The highest it can reach in-game is in level 10, with a total length of 170. The neck length meter increases by five pixels for every bug eaten, while also increasing the actual character's neck by a certain amount.

Actually it wasn't...sorry your usually spot on with your info Nobody. It was done in mobile dimensions but was just mock up art...it was never seriously considered as a game. The plant head did become the feed me design though!
