It took me a while to do that quantum food, but I guess it paid off. :)\n\n@notan-lemon Thank you very much! I thought about the trash can and whether it should just make food disappear, but I think I like it this way more. It adds a bit of tension.

The audio seems to have a lot of polish - like the little sound clip for winning or the sound effects for eating\/throwing food offscreen; I like the background music as well, although it felt like it evoked a mood different from the rest of the game.
