Hi JK5000,
Thanks a lot for the feedback. It's great to have an opinion on this entry and will keep in mind your advices for the next jam (if I do participate).
You are right for the need to drink display. At first I made the screen much blurrier when the player gets too thirsty but I was afraid it was too much so I tuned it down and added a pop-up warning when you get to like 8 seconds before dying of thirst.
The explanations and UI could be a lot better and next time I will think of the UI earlier instead of adding it in the end without really thinking through how it would really fit.
I'm glad you enjoyed the game :D
