How does the game fit the theme?
Quickly extracting relics is risky business. Dig too fast and you'll break the relics. Go too slow and the mayor's highway crew will destroy them.
Plus the relics are literally ancient buried dog biscuits
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
We made everything during the jam except for the music and some SFX

Untitled Cookie GameI really like the concept! It's really well developed and quite catchy.

Viewer ServiceLovely game! Really polished and well executed, I liked the pressure that the drill added. It really put pressure on me trying to be careful when digging the artifacts! The mayor boss character is fantastic (despite being a bit evil) and the sound effects for them speaking are great

Cookie CavernsThis was SUCH a polished and fun experience!
Based on the tutorial, I thought this would be a bit too easy without any risk. But the drill completely changes that
Not only do you have limited time now, but also you have to be much more careful about which tiles to break
It brings a sweet strategic part to the game
I still think that it doesnt have THAT much risk but Id say its enough
The game is definitely fun, tho Id love to see more powerups and twists thrown with newer levels. I think theres ALOT of potential for the game still remaining
Also the games art and music were lovely!
Especially that dog voice acting xD
Great job you guys!

Brave TaleLoved The Big Dig’s adorable visuals, charming story, and the clever bit of relic-digging tension, it feels super polished! Btw, we also made a game called Logic Bomb, would love if you check it out!

Logic Bombone of the best games I've played from the jam, hands down. Cute graphics, cute story, great game!

Biscuit's BillsVery fun game. I played it through to the end. The dog workers were so cute that I initially thought they were my comrades, until they started breaking the artifacts. I guess I should have read the description before playing.

SWEET HOUSE REAL ESTATE TRAPWhat a great game! Really beautiful art, quite a unique game, and the gameplay is beautiful :)

Greedy MouseThis is a really cool idea! Its a super polished and well rounded experience, its insane that this was done in a week! I loved the dog politician and the whole world you made
Also love the audio changing when youre digging on a tile and getting close to a relic. At least i think this is happening LOL. Fantastic game

Cookie CrawlThis game was so unique and well-developed!! I think it's one of my favorites that I have played thus far. I love the dog themed transitions and the added stakes had me sweating and button mashing the whole time haha. Hope to see more projects from y'all in the future :)

Pastries of PerilWow! What a great game. This is what I want game jam games to be: a good and simple concept, executed really nicely. The dialogue is short and simple but adds something nice, the visuals are very cohesive, and some little things add a lot of flavor, like signing your name under a contract to get an upgrade. Very creative, very well executed. Hats off!
