Then maybe upgrades for performance?  Different levels having different ratios of food, some food having a smaller limited lifespan, etc... so just \"make food more interesting\".Also perhaps sticky areas that have food in them, but make you slow down a bit.\n\nAlso, I'd consider attempting to make eating a function of rapid clicks, so it's more baseline interactive and you might feel more tense if you're actively doing something while being nervous about the next attack.\n\nJust brain dumping though...  Mostly I try to make game jam games easily digestible and quick.
