A simple and easy game to jump into! I like it but I wish the levels had more variety. Other than that, great work!

Submitted

I couldn't play :(

Developer

Sorry about that. Someone else had this issue and it seems to be due to the computer's hardware. Not much I can do on my end, but the best solution I've found is following the steps listed on the game page. Please let me know if you run into any other issues.

In spite of the file size, Cookie Savior is a modest little top-down action adventure roguelike, that feels inspired by Hades. The combat is very math-driven: enemies gradually increase in strength, and the player must choose upgrades to keep up. I wish there was an armor upgrade, because by room 13 I was taking too much damage. But mechanically the game is solid: hitboxes are responsive, etc. A delightful game!

Submitted

the game felt a bit repetitive but other than that it is basically perfect! It just needs more variation.

Cute little game! I liked the rivalry between cookies and cupcakes, my suggestions that I found is the game is very repetitive, 1 or 2 more enemy types should make it more engaging, and also I felt the melee range is very small, most of the time I received damage at the same time I hit the enemy.

Great work and good luck :)

A nice little game! I liked your gameplay loop but it soon became repetitive , maybe you should end the game with a boss at level 10. The cookie variations were a nice little addition and the visuals were cute and appealing. Well done!

Submitted

Great gameplay loop! The game is a bit repetitive because the enemies are always the same. A little too easy for the same reason. I think you could easily work on that to make the game even better! Oh, and just one thing, please think about the Azerty keyboard! ^^ But it's very good work, especially since you were on your own. Congratulations!

It;s nice roguelike, but combat should be improved imo. I feel like I have to get hit in order to deal damage to enemy, and that to me doesn't feel fair with how everything plays (it;s not like turn based so you have to get damaged). Maybe that's just me though.

Overall nice game

Good luck :D

Nice game, simple to understand and engaging! I think the combat can be improved a little. It felt the best strategy was to just rush enemies and click fast to get hits in. A longer attack range could allow for tactics like hit and run or kite to live longer. :) Just an idea.

I enjoyed the idea that cookies make you stronger. Little weird but funny... you can leave rescued cookies behind 😂


Developer

Yeah, I realized that when testing but thought it was funny so left it in lol.  Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

It was funny and you're welcome! :) Give our game a try if you find the time and haven't already.

Neat little game! The story was a fun way of contextualizing your journey, and the simplicity of the game made it very easy to jump in and play. It did get repetitive (could've used more difficulty), but other that that it was quite enjoyable!

Submitted

Fun game! It just got a little repetitive. But well done! 

Submitted

Really fun game, I would have loved it if instead of upgradews you switched cookies on each level and got the upgrades as well :D Overall I enjoyed the game and would have loved more muffins variety

Submitted

Sweet, short, and simple, the game tutorial was great, showing me what I was getting into and the possible choices I could take. It would be cool, though, if I were able to attack based on the direction of my mouse.

Submitted

While it has basic and simple graphics the Storyline and dialogue really speaks for itself (Pun intended XD), i had a lot of fun playing the game and i hope you continue your game dev journey :D
Rated:10/10

Be sure to try my game Racookie Heist :D. See you in the comments section 😊

Hey this is such a sweet and solid game! I really liked the visuals and I enjoyed it quite a lot!
I was however hoping for there to be harder levels with more enemies and perhaps more cookies to save! Apart from that detail all of it was so fun. Good job!!

Submitted

As a SexyCookieEater I approved of the theme for this game. Those evil cupcakes have messed with my food for centuries. It is about time a strong cookie shows them what is up.

As I smacked my way through cupcake land to save my brethen from being locked in cages. I came across many different races, you had me the white cookie - the saviour of cookie kingdom. The black sprinkle cookie who always owes me for some reason and the two brown cookie twins. My brothers and sisters were always surrounded by two guards at first these guards were easy. My cookie fellas gave me buffs too. After 10 minutes of slaying cupcakes my strength started to wane - my sword always split the cupcakes in two hits but somehow the cupcakes hit back harder and harder. I stopped saving the other cookies - only black sprinkle cookie needs saving now. As I minmaxed my way to stage 20 I realised that if I perfectly timed a swing backwards while moving forwards I could split them cupcakes without losing HP but it didn't last long. The pressure got to this cookie's head and eventually I succumbed to eternal peace as well. Saving a whole two dozens of cookies. Who will save the other cookies now?

I therefore request from thee a sequel so that I can prevail against the cupcakes

I will watch your career with great interest

Super fun btw

Submitted

This was a lot of fun! A small enhancement request - indicators for when damage is dealt and received.


Keep up the great work!

Submitted

Nice game loop and decision making, which is not a given for a game jam game!

Obviously having a better combat system than just spam the left mouse button would be better, but you defitely made a great work with game design so the game is enjoyable

Submitted

Really cute! The sprites are really good. Felt repetitive after a bit, but still fun :)

Submitted

Nice game reminds me of hades

Developer

Thanks! Thats definitely what I was going for
