Use of the limitation
I decided to use Unity's player input system to detect when players were either rapidly tapping or holding down a specific key. If they're tapping, then that moves the character across the hot sand. If they encounter a snack item, then they can instead hold that same input to eat it and cool down.
Cookies eaten
A couple lunch breaks, some late night snacks

Pretty fun! I like the wacky visuals, especially that furious sun, and nice music too! Got the hang of it pretty quickly and called it quits after reaching 50 snacks, but enjoyed having a run! Nice one!
the game is nice and simple but the art style is awesome and chaotic, I’d love to see more, keep up the good work!
Nice use of the limitation, funny ambiance with a great difficulty. GG!
