The beginning where you are sent to the mines made me laugh XD I think the timer is a bit too long, could have made it more like 30 seconds (especially for a particular stage of the game).
Yeah, i just wanted you to not have to die over and over when trying to get the sandwich, o you had to deliberately die to hunger. I thought slower players would find that helpful. I could have added something like " dream about sandwich" that makes you super hungry and lowers the timer.
