How does the game fit the theme?
The protagonist is a cookie which is arguably a biscuit. I just like cookies better, sorry. In addition to the general risky situation the cookie is in, optional milk collectibles act as a risk/reward mechanic where you can get more speed and armor but at the cost of your speed potentially getting out of control.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

I like the concept of needing to manage your speed and it being a risk in terms of "how long" it takes to switch between directions. Felt like I was panicking loads and frantically switching, my poor keyboard! Would love to see this mechanic developed. Well done!

Always fun to try new control schemes in a jam! I don’t think it really quite worked for me, but I see what you were going for and think you probably executed it well. Definitely was very hard even on easy to just not die to the stage. Impressive for construct 3 I think! good work!

Cool game, the controls are a bit difficult for me but I like the sound affects and music going faster when the cookie goes fast :)

Movement based game are not easy to pull up, but I think you succeded ! The game is fun to play!

Not the easiest controls. Maybe making it momentum base with a very slow build up would be better? (as right now you sometimes have to press left 4 times rapidly to start going left). Beside that good game!

Cool unique runner game with unique controls. Alto it was bit hard to handle def the beginning was hard to conquer, maybe balance the beginning to be more easier. (or I am just bad at the game).

The art looks alright cool effect on the "Boy" tho it can be refined a bit more.

Really love the controls in this game, it felt very intuitive and the game feels well balanced aside from the boy being a little slow. I played for about 30 mins and enjoyed it the whole time, only criticism is the visuals look a little flat, and i think it could benefit from a preset color palette.

Very interesting game, I've never seen a movement system like that before and it honestly felt really fluid. you could have used a normal movement system but this just levels it up and adds a nice level of complexity. Nice Game

Nice game, the movement system is strange but work well

When I started the tutorial I thought the movement was going to be hard to control, but it was incredible how fluid and easy it was. Very fun!

Fun game! I like the fact that the music speed changes with the player's speed
