# Hello
I trust you are all well. I spent my Sunday making a Hungry Hippos game. You can find it here. I would be very grateful for any feedback/suggestions. It's still quite basic at the moment, so please bear with me on that. Much obliged.

# morning
enjoy the March?

I stood next to someone near The Houses Of Parliament who was shouting "HONK HONK". Which b3tan was this? Thin ginger beard and a navy blue hat.

# I didn't get to London until 11:30
I walked from Waterloo to Picadilly, which took 4 hours.
Very interesting it was too.

# nice game
Suggestions:
- Perhaps a tad more colour?
- The balls tend to group a lot at the start, so you can grab about 20 in the first 3-4 secs. Would making it wider stop that?

# Goodgame..goodgame
as for suggetsions .. i'd make it fewer balls
and slower and more spread out... the game is won or lost in the in the first frantic key pressing second.

mebbe put a delay on how fast you can grab ... i suppose this depends on if you want to make it a game of skill or re-create the frantic chaos of the original.

# chaos
I quite like the idea of it being a game without skill. I think I'll put a delay in before the start, so the balls are more spread. Thanks very much for the feedback everyone.
