NikaKh, thank you so much for wishing me good luck. Since this whole game was an on-the-fly idea, it has been rapidly evolving! I really like your idea of color coding. I think a mix of shapes and colors could really be the ticket to communicating what I need to to the player. It's certainly a good though!
Crab meat and the like are things I hadn't thought of either. My brain went to iguanas and birds for some reason? Haha!
I appreciate your comment! I'll give your submission a try this weekend :D
