I didn't really take the time to balance the difficulty, but rather I threw together the hunger mechanic in the last few minutes to make it feel more gamey. I actually increased the difficulty by about 30% immediately before clicking publish.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Kazatan","author_uid":"1161119","time":"2019-10-06T23:58:23Z","epoch":1570406303,"modified":1570406303,"text":"@lekiy Yea, I know what you mean. I reduced the difficultly on mine, thinking that i've been playing it for 2 days - probably going to be good at it by then! Still a lot of people find it difficult!

The graphics are great! I would suggjest adding something for the controls in game. I did not read the whole post, I just downloaded the game. I had to hit random buttons to try and find the controls. Maybe adding a billboard in game with the controls listed on it? Sound effects are great! The little talking sounds kind of annoying in a good way like if someone keeps asking you for money. I also recommend maybe adding a visual difference between who your character is. Sometimes I lost my character in the crow of people. You could try making him look homeless or wear some sort of clothes that might represent a \"lower class\". Had a ton of fun with a simple game. Nice work. Keep it up!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"TheBox193","author_uid":"1062377","time":"2019-10-07T03:30:29Z","epoch":1570419029,"modified":1570419029,"text":"Good concept and fun to play.

The key bindings could have been better than X and Z. There should be some animations when the player eats something because you have to see the health bar. At first I thought there should some other key for this but then i noticed the health bar. The game is really hard and can be made a little  easy but its your preference. The dialogues of the people were also quite well written. The movement and other mechanisms of the game were also nice. Overall, a nice game.
