- Great game all around! Fantastic job!
- Fun, cute and engaging right out of the gate, and obviously, nails the theme perfectly. My 7yo son loved it immediately and couldn't put it down. We played "co-op" by each using the keyboard or the mouse independently. The art is more than enough to sell the concept but could absolutely be improved.
- Solid game! No bugs were encountered, only problem I had is that the toast is really easy to miss with the knife. I feel like it should be slightly more forgiving of misalignment. Your game nicely innovates on the theme and you leave a lot up to the player for some really clever strategies. The artstyle and music is top notch and I love the sound effects. Outstanding job! Keep kicking ass!
- I played this for 20 minutes on accident. This has a lot of replayability, also I can see speedrunners going CRAZY over this! Tutorial is also very readable. The theme is clearly there- you spread jam and peanut butter on bread. I find the fact you have to toast bread HORRIFIC- however it adds an artificial timer which creates a lot of mechanical depth and skill. Its also very interesting that you can toss things and have them drop into their respect spots. The art style is very simple and clean. Having a volume slider would be great!
- Can easily see how you could develop this further to include other spreads/foods. Music was super fun. The clink of the knife really got to me as i failed (in a good way). The stress of trying to catch them mid air before the fall was a great driver for me. as an unrelated side note, I wonder if controlling the knife with the mouse might be more enjoyable and worth testing rather than wsad.. perhaps picking it up and using it and putting it back... perhaps a hungry child could try and steal them.. great job!!
- EXTREMELY addicting! one of the stand out games of the jam for me so far!
Did you include your Game Design Document in your downloadable files?
Yes
Tell us about your game!
How many PB&Js can you make in 90 seconds?
Use WASD to move your knife. Use SPACEBAR to spread with your knife.
Use the Mouse to control your hand. Left click to drag and drop items around the screen.
I have a how-to play screen in game with pictures but the general flow of the game goes like this:
Grab bread
toast bread 2x
dip knife in Jelly/PB
spread Jelly/PB on toast
drag a PBed toast to a Jellyed toast or vice versa to make a PB&J
Place PB&J on Plate to score points
Also, you can run out of PB and Jelly so make to sure replace them if you run out. Empty Jars go in the trash!
We also prefer to keep a clean kitchen around here so don't go dropping things on the floor otherwise you'll get a time penalty!
You'll quickly realize the challenge of this game is managing your knife and your hand together. It won't be as easy as you think.
Have fun!
Did you remember to include your Game Design Document?
Yes
Is your game set to Public so we can see it?
Yes

Simple but fun game. It feels really polished. It may have less content compared to really strong submissions but this game does what it sets out to do really well and thats all you need. Really fun game
>me playing this game:
(its fantastic btw)
I had an absolute blast playing this game and I didn't manage to make a single PB&J!
I thought the knife 'schwing' was really clean and had a ton of fun failing miserably. Your glass clinking noises were really on point.
My only critique is that I wish it were a little easier on the whole to encourage me to play longer.
Very very well polished, and fun to try and cycle through all of the different management tasks. Great job!!
Loved this! The voice work was cute, the clinking of the jars sounded great. Fun to discover that you make the sandwich in the air! The game gave me that "pat your head and rub your tummy at the same time vibe," but really appreciated that it didn't push me into it.
A bug got my knife stuck between the plate and the jar, triggering the jar tink repeatedly in rapid succession - happy to say that was the only time I got stressed out haha! Really fun game. Will recommend!
Really smooth and polished game, with a lot of quality-of-life mechanics. I don't know if it was intended to be a rage game, but the knife mechanics do a really good job of making me mad. If the rage was intended I think it's really good that that was the isolated mechanic which induced the rage, and that everything else just flowed. Very good submission, enjoyed it a lot.
This was extremely satisfying! Tried making 3 sandwiches at once, and was really impressed with the difficulty of it. Really "smooth" submission for the "jam" lol
Neat aesthetic. Funny sounds. Displays the theme well. Addictive gameplay loop. Good job!
That knife caused me real rage. Loved it xD
This whole time I was sitting there throwing bread up with my mouse not knowing it would auto float. Hard-mode.
Neat artstyle, nice music, and great concept. I enjoyed the complexity of the mouse for the bread plus WASD knife spreading. Great game!
I GOT -10 til i died, i like the idea a lot, the tinkle glass jar sounds perfect..... once they got jam on what ya do?
Read the instructions and went back...got it now...nice
This game is fantastic and so much fun. once I got it down, my high score was 7 and I could have kept going but the sandwiches made me so hungry I had to go make one in real life. Fits the theme, incredibly fun skill based gameplay, I only wish there was an infinite mode where I could make a huuuuuuge stack of sammies. Maybe a ham and cheese mode too???? Love the game, excited to see more :)
This game, makes you feel like you're your own worst enemy. Which is partially fun initially, but when you haven't beaten the game for even the 7th time it starts to kind of piss you off.
These were more notes from playing:
Thank you so much for playing and for all the really good feedback! I'll see what I can do about some of your points before the jam ends!
Fun i got 7 points it was hard!
well executed!
I could definitely see this being a fun mini-game in a mario party style game against friends.
PS. only got 5, i was trying to multi-task and put bread in while spreading and got confused XD
Fun! I scored 7!
I feel the plate hitbox should be a bit bigger, but otherwise it's really cool!
Fun! I scored 6!
