Incredibly elegant design. My favorite aspect was needing to eat to stay ahead of the moles, but that of course putting me in danger of over eating and also making it harder to react. Very fitting to the theme. Only thing that upset me was a mole spawning in front of me.

Fun game! Overall pretty enjoyable and I liked how the acorns are your goal but also simultaneously an obstacle. Good submission in general!

The game gets engaging very fast. Smooth gameplay. You need to react really fast sometimes to the moles appearing in front of you especially if your speed is high, it makes it tricky to find the right balance of hunger. Good job!

I enjoyed that. The controls felt really good. Good job!

Very fun - I could see this being like a geometry wars like game!

Nice job! Just rated!

This is a really good entry. The graphics may not be super special but the gameplay is fun, original,  very seamless, and it fits with the art style too. The balance between all 3 mechanics is really well designed. I hope this game gets rated highly and doesn't get over looked due to its simplistic graphics
