The giant wandering around, making threatening noises gave the game a greater urgency than there actually was. There's plenty of time to work through the seed tech tree and get the right 'meal' to survive. :)
I like the presentation and the concept. It was a little awkward to hoe the fields, I think because I was panicking about imminently being eaten. I appreciated the button to reset tool locations, since I had a habit of accidentally picking up harvested crops while still holding onto the axe.
