Hey Jaco thanks so much for playing! That's insanely unlucky that you didn't win, in my opinion you won in spirit.
Agree the eating animation is too slow! It was actually even slower haha, but I think faster is better.
Yeah your burger idea is 100% better.
The immediate day ending is lame especially with things like salad, I think having it like that is more a jam time constraint than a design choice, so I 100% agree.
I think that Binge! is the main risk/reward mechanic in this game so I'll have to disagree. I do however agree that none of the Binge strategies are particularly viable even with things like Mushroom, Salad and Booze. Especially since the main thing you need to win is get more trays. With more trays there's more chance to Binge. So generally speaking you get more trays and then mitigate binge chance with mushroom/salad. The most fun in this game is when you have 2 Binge and are considering to push your luck or not and that's what I like about it.
Thanks so much for playing!
