This is a really simple but well executed concept! It really leaves room for players to experiment for themselves which approach can allow them to earn the most points, not to mention that it also leads to a very flexible difficulty curve. Great job!

How does the game fit the theme?
The player chooses the map, the time limit and the equip for the round. The reward the player receives for the round depends on the risk the player is willing to take
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Everything was made by me, except for the sound track and 2 of the sound effects

A simple but very polished game! Controls feel amazing, completing a map in time totally works with the theme of the game jam. Great job!!

The GuildmasterI thought I was doing so well until I had to risk doing the x3 mult level. Great job on this game. It was really fun and I like the amount of variety you put into the player choices.

Mission BiscuitAwesome game, love the challenge and the freedom to choose. Pretty smooth platforming experience too, good job! Add more challenge, perks, and other variety if you decide to continue this game, I really want more haha.
Maybe double shields will be a nice perk...

Sacrifice of The Noble WizardOh I adore the pick your poison element you had going on here. I love how much of the risk reward you put in the players hands. By the time I needed 1500 points I had a pretty good routine with the double jump medium map, so I figured i could shave off 10 seconds to try and just baaarely squeak by without going to the hardest map. I end up dying to the spikes, get flustered because of the time limit, and can't finish the final lap. I had a lot of fun playing!

Rolling in DoughDouble jump/Dash on the 1x map is too OP, Tried the 3x and got humbled and lost all my progress ;-; Wonderful game with a great feel!

One More Cheese...I love the concept of a lap-based platforming "racing" game!
The core idea here is very solid, and the movement feels very snappy and nice.
However I think some of the level design could be easier - especially since people have time limits. I couldn't finish a single lap on 3x mult level unless I used low gravity and double/triple jump.
I just ended up doing the shortest route on 1x mult with low gravity for the first 4 days, then attempted 3x mult some more, but can barely even get past the spikes on the first drop.
Other than that the core of the game is very solid!

Biscuit RouletteWell made platformer that feels nice to control! And I liked how the art and audio felt nice together.

50/50 DungeonThis is a really smart and well-designed game! The risk/reward system is fantastic. I love how you have to balance choosing the map, the time, and spending points on abilities before each run. It adds a great strategic layer to the platforming. Awesome job!

Lo-FinanceThe jump in difficulty from the 0.5x level to the 1x is just too much, those damn spikes just made me rage quit and rate you 1 star😡😡😡 Nice game, good job 👍
It would have been good if controllers were supported as the super precise platforming required is quite tricky with keyboard.

Biscuit TapperReally fun idea! Doing levels "legitimately" was really difficult with the spikes and the fast movement, but I had lots of fun experimenting with combinations of upgrades to find an easy route that I could complete, and then adjusting the timing to give myself a challenge. Worked like a charm! Only made it to day 5 but it was because I was trying new strategies (and messing them up)
Full marks for innovation and theme. With more levels I would have just kept playing. Nice work!

Crab's GambitThe feel of this game was amazing love the risk tradeoffs too well done very hard though think I just suck :p But fun nice job

The Biscuit PactCool game! I really like how the theme is applied, with the ability to choose your own amount of risk to potentially get a bigger reward

Cookie CavernsI really liked this one. Never played a lap based game as this one 🔥. Visuals simplistic and cool, gameplay is fun. The Risk mechanic is well done. Controls for A & D are little bet too sensitive. I think this one is better be expanded. ⚡⚡

IT Night ShiftI usually get too frustrated by these kind of games, but since I was allowed to trade victory points for power ups I got through it smiling. Really like the minimalistic art style you went for, which was what drew me in.
Glad I kept showing up for work even after several failures ;)
