And more will be.
But mostly to tidy up the code for now. 
A lot of messy code was created in the finishing hours of the development, 
in order to add/balance some more game mechanics in time.

:D

I think there's something symbolic about this being an eating game more than a quarantine game haha! It's really good though - there' sa great level of depth to it, and it's a great basis to build from. The hunger is a tad punishing, but I really liked it

It's nice, but as already mentioned, it's more about trying to get the food. It takes a decent amount of tries, getting a little tough when the virus starts to replicate. 

I like the idea, but I think the spawn rate is too low - I know the rates are lower over time, but I had almost no spawns on the 7th level, so it was really hard, but I liked it :D

The hunger makes the game too hard! I mean you could’ve set it a little low! But, anyways, great game! Enjoyed!

Lots of fun. Although I think hunger is a bit too punishing, I found myself dying of starvation a lot more often than because of the viruses.

Now, that you mention it.
It makes the game less about the virus but more about the eating.

Though i feel like reducing the damage by hunger would often resolve in the player waiting for death to happen.
At least that is what i did, when i was in a situation where i basicly lost, because there were too many viruses.

Thanks for the feedback, maybe i get some ideas to tackle that, before i finish the next iteration of the program.
