Wow! Thank you for all your feedback!
Honesty time:
The 'continue after dying' thing is a bug - forgot to have the game reset variables upon starting again! Fixed now, thank you!
Tooltips are a good idea. Luck increases the odds of food spawning - higher luck means more likelihood of a treasure trove of food.
You are right about repetition; I hoped the mouse traps would help that, but we designed a level small enough that we could accurately detail it in the time period of the jam. If I could go back, I'd give the map some more variation, or perhaps more verticality.
Thank you so much again! I'll check your game out now :)
