Game Description
It's a survival game about managing a bunch of different bars, where every action you take has an unintended consequence (a drawback)

How does your game tie into the theme?
Every action you do has a drawback, like reducing a stat. I'm counting this as the consequence - it being unintended is a bit of a stretch, but I figure since it's something the player doesn't want, it counts.

Nice concept. I like the topic of nutrition. Now a few nice animations and relaxing music are missing and it would be perfect.

Wow, you put quite some stats and events in there. Also looks pretty balanced, nice. I think some icons for the stats would be helpful, so you immediately have an overview of what changes when you choose a card.

Really solid first game jam! I enjoyed playing. I feel like it would bring it to the next level if there were more high cost high reward options and/or random events to shake things up a bit, but all in all very nice for the time allotted! Well done!!

Congrats on a unique idea! Kinda funny to abstract life into simple stats like that. Might be cool to carry the bar colors into the cards. Maybe an up/down arrow of the appropriate color for each affected stat? Nice work!

Thanks! Yeah, I was definitely thinking about something like that - I tried to make an outline appear over a bar when you hovered over a relevant card, but I couldn't figure out how to do it in time. Oh well!
