Lol, I loved your detailed review! Once I've cleared a few more games from my list, I’m definitely diving back into yours to figure out those intricate puzzle designs, especially since I noticed you’ve posted explaining things a bit more now :)
Really glad that you picked up on the cycle of events in my story, I wasn’t sure anyone would notice that. I do like that bone crushing sound too, apparently it was made by someone crunching on a hard candy.
Regarding my UI, my thought was to split the screen, so left icons for eating and right icons for staying warm. Since an egg is warm when freshly laid I decided to put it with the other warmth based icons. The core loop of my game is a balance of hunger and warmth, where increasing one decreases the other, with happiness being the average of the two.
Thanks again for the thoughtful feedback!
