Pretty fun! I like the wacky visuals, especially that furious sun, and nice music too! Got the hang of it pretty quickly and called it quits after reaching 50 snacks, but enjoyed having a run! Nice one!

Use of the limitation
I decided to use Unity's player input system to detect when players were either rapidly tapping or holding down a specific key. If they're tapping, then that moves the character across the hot sand. If they encounter a snack item, then they can instead hold that same input to eat it and cool down.
Cookies eaten
A couple lunch breaks, some late night snacks
