Cute art, and nice music, but it should loop. Right now it stops playing after a while. At first I misunderstood and thought I'd die if I ran out of cookies, but then I got it. GJ!

Jinxed - Cat CaféCongrats on your first game, very impressive! While first playing it I assumed if I ran out of cookies I would lose but realized it was more of a way to retrace your steps but not a health indicator. Either way, I made it out of the maze!

Every Minute MattersDon't know what the game is about, but I like picking up cookies.

Jungle Monkey JumperSimple yet fun game! I really like the visual! :D
I really like the cookie crumbs mechanic! it helps a lot on tracking your way in the maze!
the overall control and gameplay are nice and intuitive! wish it had a longer gameplay tho
Idk, if I finished it too quickly or sumthin XD

Super Duper Space WizardThe movement should react to the button pressed, right now only one direction can be active, which feels like i am fighting controls little bit. Also some SFX are missing. But otherwise for first game, it is nice!

No Space RequiredVery fun while it lasted. Love that I can shoot in more than one direction. Fun graphics. Cool voice acting.
Playing in browser, the game sent 2 enemies and set a counter for 3, so I could not finish the level. Tried several times. Maybe I am missing something that went wrong...

Corpse WalkGood visuals and a music in the background would be helpful. When I first saw the cookies I thought the tracks would be useful in some way as in Hansel & Gretel.

Happy NuclearNice game ! You did well on your own for the first game jam.

The Story of SomethingA Cute and Cozy game. Love the art style and the ending with the vacuum. However a few extra sound effects would have been cool. But nevertheless a pretty good game for a game jam. Keep up the good work.
Submitted
Shape WarsCute game! I like the vacuum at the end as a nod to the joke at the start, nice graphics and great job for your first game jam you've done well especially without any help! :)

Full HarvestThis is a simple little game, nothing too crazy or tense. It has cute graphics and a vibe, I am enjoying myself with this game! It's good to step away from those tensions and frustrations from time to time and relax a bit, and this game is perfect for it. The game design is simple, but I do like how you used cookie crumbs to mark where you've been. That really reduces quite some backtracking and guesswork I normally have with all maze games. I do hope it would take too long to vacuum up all of these crumbs though XD
For a criticism, I say the game really needs some more mechanics. It's like how you utilise the machete for removing grass, you could probably do more with each collectable you've found during the level, like adding special actions that only that item can provide.
Anyway, this is a nice entry indeed. Kep up the good work!
Great idea!!! really like the artstyle, i did miss maybe more sound desing, but being just one person in the project, quite impressive! well done!

Hyper JumpThe cookie train was such a nice touch, I hope vacuuming won't take too long!
Such a well put together game for a first game. The art was very nice, ran into no bugs. Bravo!

Perfect.EXENice music. Simple yet effective and neat art. I like the idea of cookie crumbles. Nicely tied with the theme. Good job!
Submitted
Corpse WalkCute little game with nice vibes, the breadcrumbs thingy is really nice too to know where I've been. I just wish there was more going on between all the cutting.
Submitted
Factory FlawLove the idea of the cookie trail and this has such a cute artstyle
I managed to beat almost the entire maze without the pruner actually. When you ran into the bottom of the leaves just right it would destroy them (I'm assuming its a collider/mask issue)
Overall it was a fun game to play!
Submitted
Slime CrimeVery nice game, specially for a first jam!
Really liked the art. The sword movement was nice, I could hit those weeds many times and it was satisfying. :P
The crumb trail is a good element to let you know where you have already explored (without using the obscuring of the sections), I noticed quite early that the cookies are not consumed if you walk over a place where crumbs exists,
The amount of cookies is more than enough to explore the whole labyrinth, which I think is intentional, but for me it meant I didn't not really have to make any decision of whether to explore a section or not, which can arguably be a good thing, depending on what you are going for.
Anyways, good stuff!
