Thanks for the review:) Ill try to make more games(which are hopefully not going to be as bad as this one) on the following Trijams.

Thanks for the review! I will probably do more practice stuff to actually learn how to make a game:)
Thanks for the review! Originally me and my friend were talking about this week's trijam topic(which he introduced me to), and I just thought of a joke entry as "eating the table". Since i got a little bit of programming experience, I just tried to make a simple thing like that. Glad you liked the idea:)
Your first ever game? Great start! The appeal of eating an entire table was enough to keep me going to the end. One little pointer.. Considering you're just waiting to be able to eat and not fill up too quick, the fullness amount should be visible to the player. Just a slider bar that constantly tries to fill up but gets depleted by x amount when you bite. Also I think our ability to eat improved over time? If so that should be made explicit to the player (just a flash on screen 'appetite increase' or something). Anyway, very good first game, and enjoyed this generally.
Thanks for the detailed review! One of my original ideas was to have a slider bar or different stages, but I chose a single stage of warning to make the game a little bit harder(which was probably a bad idea since I am struggling to speed run my own game). Also I made the fullness system pretty badly(since I am horrible at programming)and it is tied to the frame rate capped at 60. Minor frame changes could have affected the result, since the fullness is static overtime. Thanks again for the suggestions and I will try to make more games in the future:)

Thanks for the review! Yeah i did a simple system that gets your fullness stat up when you eat quickly, and goes down when you stop eating:)

Thanks for the suggestion:) The fullness system is there but I chose to not make a fullness bar for the game's difficulty.(It turned out to be a bad idea since i cannot even finish my own game)
