Thanks for playing and for taking the time to give me some sincere feedback! :)
What do you mean with "the same problem"?
The bar looking half full is not a bug, but it was a bad choice of the visual design of the hud, you're not the first to point that out, thanks a lot! Might be the first and easiest issue to fix.
About the feel, does having a bigger tongue made the interaction more interesting? Like after collecting 3 or 4 gums on the level. Did you manage to finish the game? And does shooting a bubble gum ball feels bad for you too? If you have the time to elaborate a little I would be extremely grateful!
Again, thanks a lot for reaching out and taking the time! :) I appreciate it, and even if I don't return to update the game, I can learn a lot from these feedbacks.
