A game we used to really love playing as a child. You make a face out of a plate and various pieces of food it gives you. It gives quite a few different options to choose from to make your face, from various veggies, fruits, desserts, and more. In total there are 19 options to choose from. It also lets you resize, rotate, and flip the food too! There's a useful help button, an option to turn off music, and a trash can you can drag any unwanted accessories to. There's also a 'Start Over' button so you don't have to drag everything to the trash can to start over. Much like other Flash games of this nature, there is a Print button in case you want to print out your design.

We always really loved the way this game looked, it has this cute clay, cartoony style to it. It also has a cute song that plays during gameplay, it reminds us of a diner, which is fitting given the theme of the game.

We discovered this game way back when through OY1 (oyunlar1), which reposts games from many different websites. Unfortunately, it, along with the other games posted on there no longer work due to Flash dying.

We did shoot the creators, Highlightkids, an email asking if they have any information about the game and they responded back!

As to the attached story J Honesdales is talking about, here it is! Thank you so much to the Editors for getting back to us. Unfortunately, we still don't know who composed the music.

The illustrator mentioned, Amy Vangsgard, is still around to this day. Here is her website, if you're interested in seeing her other artwork. Her clay pieces do resemble the style she did for "Funny Food Face".

I decided to upload the music to my Youtube Channel, in case you wanna give it a listen.
