How does the game fit the theme?
Players must carefully dunk their biscuit into a beverage, balancing risk and reward: dunk too cautiously, and the perfect score slips away, dunk to recklessly, and the biscuit falls apart. Play
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

It seems like a very cool game, but I wish I understood better what I’m supposed to do. Swiping the cursor around didn’t do anything for me. Liked the artwork and the overall theme!
You hover (or drag on mobile) the cursor over the crumbs to collect them. Crumbs act as the currency for powerups and the end highscore. I could have made it clearer for sure. Thanks for the feedback :P
Great game and loved the art. Only thing I will say is it took some time to figure out what was going on while playing
loved the artwork! especially coffee looks delicious :D Didn't get the risk factor tho, no matter what i do i always get perfect score. Gameplay is good and melting of the biscuits are awsome to watch. Especially good job on that.
Thanks a lot, the melting was a nightmare to do haha. I did make it a bit too easy from being overcautious with making it too difficult. The perfect meter was supposed to be a bonus, but if you try to maximise crumbs with clicks, it makes getting that meter a lot harder haha
great artwork! it would be nice to get more guidance on how to play, didn't really understand what i had to do right away, or even that there was a shop, but overall still enjoyable!
Understandable. We'll consider this for our future projects. Thanks for the feedback :D
Saw your post and thought i’d try your game - now I’m craving cookies and milk like you wouldn’t believe! Great job and good luck!
Thank you very much haha (you wouldn't believe how much I craved cookies while making the sprites). I'll try your game once I finish the one I'm about to try!!!
Make sure you turn the music up in the top right - that’s my only contribution!
Thank you we all appreciate you taking the time and yes many biscuits were eaten while making this game 😂😂
Fun chill game. Nice game to relax and it's addicting. Great game!
It is addictive haha we wanted to add a few more things but unfortunately just didn't make the time
Fun casual game! It's funny how we came up with very similar ideas for the jam! I like how you added upgrades, I wish I had the time to do something like that! My only critique is some of the biscuits take a very long time to get perfectly dunked!
Thanks for checking it out :D
Cool game! I like the work you put into having multiple biscuit and drink types. It's easy to miss out on the polish stuff like that, but it helps a lot!
Appreciate the review :D
Very fun and cozy game (may have made me handle my mouse with both hands) with great visuals and concept !
Yeah the holding button, plus spinning the middle mouse button adds a bit to the challenge haha. We're glad you like it! :D
The game is interesting, the graphics are amazing, and the music is really good. I played it while dunking cookies in milk
That's the best time to play lolol, glad you like it!
Fun little game, brought back memories of learning about the risk of overdunking my Oreos :D Really loved the little details of how the glass transparency, as well as the dunking angle affected the colour of the cookie!
Haha now l want oreos. Thanks for the review :)
This game may very much have me dunking my cookies in orange juice (IS THAT A THING?!). Love the chill aspect of the game, and the memory based gameplay.
We've all had a cheeky orange juice biscuit... right O.o
Appreciate the review, I'll check out your game now :)
I really like the chill music, but it would be very good if there are other sound effects other than the bgm. Good idea for a game too.
We have other sounds but unfortunately ran out of time to implement them, we had sound effects for the collecting of the crubs, raining down effects from marshmallows and 2x points multiplier and a few other areas of the game.
My cookies fall apart, sadly just real life
Fun game and cool concept! I also found myself just spamming left click to get crumbs and I did not in fact know that you weren't supposed to do that until I read the comments. It was a cute game, creative, and you can tell your artist they did a very good job!
We appreciate the review. I think there is some confusion around the crumbs with a few people, the idea was they act as a currency and a final highscore. Perhaps it was because the game lasts a little too long or I've set the price of the powerups too low. Thanks for the feedback though, l will consider this for future games :)
(Artist here) Thank you very much for the compliment! :)
good game - simple and fun! :D
Great fun! love the rolling play button that was an awesome touch!
Thanks for reviewing. Our designer was especially pleased with that haha
I like the simplistic gameplay idea, but having to rotate the biscuits kind of felt strange, and i most often found myself just spamming left click to max out my score with no issue. Sound and style are great though, I think this game has a lot of potential!
Thanks for the review. That's understandable and gives me something to work on. Your game looks interesting, I'll have a look now :)
Very nice take, enjoyed the relaxed gameplay. It felt like some of the biscuits were hard to get the perfect score with. Or maybe I just hadn't unlocked my full potential with upgrades.
Good job.
Yeah, it was the first jam and deadline I've worked to, and admittedly, the balancing system was rushed towards the end haha. I'll be sure to check out your submission. Thanks for the feedback :).
Haha, classic. Happens to everyone.
The concept is interesting, at the beginning I ended up playing it way too safe but by the end I was losing cookies left and right haha. Also I'm not sure if it was intentional or not, but there was a specific cookie that it's collision was a bit bigger than the others and due to the angle of its spin, sometimes I couldn't dunk it. That part was a bit frustrating but other than that, good job!
Really appreciate the review. There is different collisions on different biscuits and beverages, but perhaps I should have explained this somewhere, and made it more forgiving. Thanks for your feedback. I'll play your game soon :)
