Out of all the submissions I have tried up to now, this is the one that takes the theme literally but in the best way possible, the visuals are relatively good mostly because of the lighting, and the gameplay is also pretty fun!
I did find an exploit in the last level with the x20 shot, and I've got a feeling that you already know what I'm talking about lol
Managed to score about 33k cookies before stopping!
Didn't make it past level 3 but was very fun! Loved the audio!
Super fun game. I was able to hit the #20 with a 100 ball in the last level :) Great job!
Nice game! The first and second levels felt a bit luck-based, but they were still satisfying to play. The later levels had better gameplay, and I enjoyed those more.
Really fun and addictive game. Turning 1 cookie into 100s because I carpet bombed my entire stash. 😆 Music and sound effects were nicely done too! Good job! 🤗
It's a simple gamble game with cookies. I don't have much experience with pachinko so I don't really know the strategy to win more biscuits. But I do believe there is some skill expression potential if you're experienced with this type of game and go against odds. I personally is not a big fan of games that are mostly RNG-based but I can see the game being quite popular amongst the intended audience. Good work.
Fun game to relax, the effects and audio are really cool, worked for me perfectly in browser
(btw i ened up cheating a little using all the cookikes then press the button for more cookies while my cookies were droping >.<)
Thanks!
That was an extra gameplay for the chosen ones ;)
I really like how you tied the plinko setup to the "risk it for the biscuit" theme. Pushing the higher multipliers farther out definitely posed some serious temptation to scoot outwards closer to the lava. Level 3 in particular does this the best. In my experience, those very large multipliers meant that the risk was net positive, but that the high variance could bankrupt you before you hit big on a 10x or 100x cookie. The trick shot end screen was pretty cool. I wish there had been more opportunities like that in the core levels! Either way, still had fun lining up my cursor to perfectly dunk 100's every time. It was a nice end cap to the experience.
Thank you for the kind words, I really appreciate it!
Simple game with a great amount of polish, love it. Great work! I did have some issues with clicking on things in the menu and starting the game when played in the browser, but just refreshing the page a few times fixed it.
Thanks! Maybe it's a unity bug, I'll try to investigate it.
This is quite an addictive game! The gameplay is simple enough, and it's basically a luck roll of if you can get them in or not. But for some reason it still feels satisfying. I do like the level layout, especially the cat one. Had a giggle seeing that. For a minor critique, I think the music doesn't really fit the game, and the audio mastering is a bit off. But other than that, there isn't much to say. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for your feedback! I'll try to improve my audio skills :)
Very fun and addictive game. Good job
Thank you!
Is it even considered gambling if you always win? :P
I’m a huge fan of the art direction, clean and minimalist really works well here, easy to see what’s happening. Combined with with soundtrack, absolute perfection.
Not a fan of the gameplay itself, first levels felt too random, last one was too easy, but it was overall enjoyable as the full package. I wish there were higher-scored cookies so I could look at the number grow even faster.
Many thanks for you feedback!
I am very glad you liked my art style. This was a goal for the jam to develop my style for this and future games!
Speaking of gameplay, I'll read couple game-design books to improve myself, hah.
Thanks again!
very cool concept! Runs well on mobile btw, so you can enable mobile on itch game page.
What do you mean when you tell that you used your framework in Unity?
Thank you very much for feedback and playing on mobile ;)
As a programmer I wrote my own framework that includes basic modules needed for almost any game. It includes UI windows system, save/load, static data (like configs, constants) and audio. It helps me not to spend a lot of time for infrastructure of the game cz I have only 1-2 hours a day to be an indie developer :)
This is actually the second game I developed using this framework. So I wasted some hours to fix several bugs during this jam :)
yeah, cool, i do it too. Like a thing that took a lot of time when i started first games: scene management. Loading/transitions/reloading/etc. I now have some ready to use solution, for that and Audio System, menus. settings. I just didn't thought about it as a framework, i guess i called it a template :)
Ah, yes. I call it framework cz I build a game around it. And all my code depends on it :)
And it is always the same for every project. But also I have a template for quick prototyping. It includes some sprites, scripts which will be changed in final game. That's how I understand it
great sound effects! a mix of skill and luck. this is great! enjoyed the game loop.
Thanks!
Funny plinko-style gamble featuring all sorts of absurd shapes! Pretty cool how to progress you need to pick the right direction and the exact spot where you release the cookie.
Thank you! I tried to create unique visuals for every level.
Pachinko with lava! Great choice of SFX, very fun.
Thank you!
This is such a good game, so satisfying, so addicting, so fun and just a cozy game. I genuinely think i could lose track of time so easily! Also the cookie hit sounds is so nice
Thanks for your kind words. After the jam I am planning to add some improvements and more content. Maybe even not-plinko gamble!
I risked my biscuits for more biscuits till i could risk no more (i ran out). Fun game.
Risk is a risk but you can never run out of cookies! Thank you!
nice and simple but felt really good to play! would have been cool if there were some cool power up mechanics like in peggle or something
Glad you enjoyed it! I looked at peggle a little and got some inspiration for improving this game, thank you!
Simple but addictive gambling game. Nice audio and visual feedbacks !
Thank you!
