How does the game fit the theme?
In Crumb For Your Life, survival means risking it all just to make it out in one piece. Do you risk it for more points, or play it safe and crumble slower? The only way out is through risk itself.

I dont understand how it fits the theme but it is a very fun game and very polish, could you also try my game;)
Thank you for playing!
This is a great idea for the jam’s theme, and the game turned out really good. I loved the art and how the marshmallow in the shop gets more and more toasted with each level. The wildcards feel a bit too punishing though, maybe if they were restricted to exact numbers, it’d be easier to tell whether you could actually grab them or not. But that would need some testing too haha. Great job, awesome entry!
Thanks for playing and your feedback! Yea the balancing is difficult because the feedback we've gotten so far has been about 50:50. We definitely could do with more experience on that part though.
Very stylish game! The art was the stand-out component, it was so full of personality! The theming accompanying it also was very good. I did have a problem whilst playing though, I needed to get a good amount of points from RNG to get all of the upgrades, which was a bit frustrating. The audio was also a bit loud, but whoever chose the music chose some good music for the game. Other than that, the gameplay was quite neat!
Thank you for playing and all the compliments! Sorry about the volume, we'll take note of the music for future games.
The setting and art for this game is hilarious. I love the HR lady slowly burning alive. The gameplay concept is pretty interesting, but most of the cakes don't seem to be worth the risk. But I do like how in some areas you can choose to ride the conveyor belt, or walk a riskier path for more forms. Overall, good job.
Thank you for playing and sharing your high score! We had a lot of fun making the game. Glad you appreciate the humor!
This is such a great game! The art is amazing and the gameplay was so much fun. It is clear that you've put a lot of work into that, be it through the drawings, art, or even the funny posters you have hanging around the levels. I found the camera pan around the level to show you how to move before you began extremely useful. Overall, this was a pretty enjoyable game. Well done!
Thank you for checking us out! Really appreciate you noticing the little things! Glad you enjoyed the game.
This is both chaotic and endearing. Great job!
Thank you for the review!
Great job on the game, I agree with the previous commenter that especially the tutorial was very well implementer. Something which is often overlooked or forgotten (we also made this mistake).
I think this game deserves full rating with one exception. For me personally, the enjoyment was not a full star rating because I had a lot of bad wildcards that took away my health which meant I never reached the end of the second level even if I tried to avoid the wildpieces. A -22hp is crazy if you start with 100 and need 1 for every step. 🙃This is something that could use more balancing.
Thank you for your awesome review! We did not have the time to try out and balance it out more, wished we had more time. We did ask few people to play test and the votes are about 50: 50. It's really hard to find a good balance. I guess this will come with experience. This is for sure will be considered!
Don't worry, you've come far for the short time and we definitely have balancing issues as well 😅
This was awesome and hilarious. The details in the environment like the funny posters in each level and the character animations add so much! The concept itself is simple and easy to understand and the presentation ties it all together. Something else that was really well done that probably no one will notice is the little tutorial screen - it's really well written with highlighted words and accompanied by some cute images - it makes even most adhd brains pay attention. This is something that almost never happens in game jams, the tutorials are just a wall of text thrown at the player and makes me so much not wanna read them.
Thanks for such a thoughtful review! We added a quick tutorial because we ourselves really struggle with understanding games without them haha, I'm glad it helped. Also really touched that you notice the funny posters and details, you're very observant! I did the concept design including level and environment, but wasn't sure if anyone cared much about the lore.. your comment gave me a lot of motivation!
Nice game! it’s pretty well made and polished and the aesthetic is nice, goodjob!
Thanks so much! That means a lot to us!
Very good game, the theme was done very well!
Thank you for playing! Happy to know that you think so!
Very good execution of the theme! It was pretty fun to take my chances with the wild cards, and overall it was an enjoyable experience.
Thanks for playing! We were a little confused by the theme at first so glad to know it matched people's expectations :D and glad to know you had fun!
Nice! This was the most polished of the games for this jam that I've played. Audio worked well, art was great and gameplay was solid and focused.
Do wish the cakes didn't take away my steps so often. But that did lead to me having a hard time getting to the level end which really engaged me.
Thanks for playing! I really wanted to make sure the levels felt challenging enough that the player would think twice before going after the cakes, glad to know you enjoyed it!
Love the art, hate how every cake I got tried to kill me :( fr though game was really fun and I liked the concept, great job guys!
Thank you! Oh nooo! To be fair I kept dying when I played it myself too. Just continuously bad rolls and decisions xD
Nice work, this was fun! Clean art and the risk of the wildcards and path choice felt like it fit well with the theme.
Thanks for playing! Glad to know you liked it :D
Thanks for checking us out! I'm a huge fan of your game! xD
This really meets with Theme, It looks visually good and it's Fun to play. Good luck for JAM 😃😃
Thanks for checking us out! Really appreciate the feedback! Good luck to you too!
Overall A fun game that 100% complies with the theme of the jam. I believe it’s the closest implementation of the theme that I’ve seen so far! Congratulations on that!

Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback! That's very thoughtful of you to do so.
The wildcards aren't necessary to collect for sure. It's part of the risk element because you could get very good buffs like (+ points, - health) or (+health), which is a gamble and how you choose to strategize where you should go. So it just depends on what you're trying to achieve, just escape or escape with the highest score possible.
Appreciate you checking us out too!
Very funny game! I like the art, and the marshmallow guy is great. The gameplay is fun, and I wish there were more levels for me to play!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the game! *\(^^)/*
I enjoyed the game a lot! The burnt marshmallow guy is really funny.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :D
The visuals are looking nice, I like it!
Thanks for the compliments! ^^
I love how the UI and characters are executed! Pretty game but a bit too chalenging as for me :P
Thank you for the compliments! ^^
