Just tried it today. Very impressed. You have a great knack for programming. The intuitiveness of the interface is really pro. I would suggest adding tooltips that pop up whenever you hover your cursor over items so you can know what that item is. I still don't know what a few of the things I picked up are.

Other than that, making you hunger faster, trees/other resources not growing back so fast, and ofc better sprites, awesome job! Tons of potential in this game.

Get a pipe and start growing hemp if you want to get hungry faster. =)

Thanks! Tool tips are going to be added once I add a few more items.

To fix hunger, I may make the bar go up to 400 instead of 100. As Teck mentioned, hemp works to lower health at double the amount (2 per 30 seconds instead of 1). I'm going to add some sort of system with trees growing back via some sort of "nature" NPC which will plant new trees and grass (a literal Mother Nature, anyone?). Most sprites are all temporary atm, so yeah. Ignore my terrible placeholders until Evan can add the real ones.
