I liked the retro feel to it. Also I like the graphics, they were actually funny ;)

Wish you could've added some more depth to this, you just basically press space over and over until you're dead. I liked what you did with the art (I sympathise, I'm not a very good artist myself). With a little more work I think this could've been much more intersting.

My favorite part of the game is casting the spells - seeing an enemy on fire or trapped in ice is a nice reward moment. I would have loved to have more direct choice in the game - until you get your first spell, there's no way to strategize. Nice work!

It's too randomly. Has no any balance.

It feels well-polished. I like the simplicity of the game. I died quickly, but I ate all my food! I think it was too hard? Or was it too random?

Well, it lacks some deeper concept or better fight system - the current is too random :)

This is a pretty cute little game. I could definitely see playing more of this if it was expanded a little!

This could be really cool. I like the drawings and the interface. Sadly the balancing is way off. I only found a single pork chop, healing 8 HP. But that was not nearly enough to compensate the damage I got. So basically, I kept attacking until I died. It feels like I missed a lot of the game.

Game is a set of interesting choices, in your case it's not that interesting as I more or less just press SPACE and occasionally eat something if I found something - this is too primitive for my taste.

What's worse, your random generator is all powerful... first try I got a lot of enemies, one chest which allowed me to almost survive next fight. Second attempt gave me five chests, one enemy, chest, and then neverending string of enemies...

But I did like the art :) (check my game and you'll guess why :D)

BTW using previous code is ok in your case as you've put the game in jam (and in jam... generally anything goes)
