Excellent submission, I like the flying cat.

I thought it would be better to change the "ENTER" Key to the "E" key or another key that is close to the spacebar key, which will add layers to the cake. It's hard because it's hard to get interaction by pressing the "ENTER" I will move my hand to press "ENTER" key immediately; It's too far from my hand.

  • The left hand is for building and selling the cake.
  • The right hand for making cakes

Something like these.

My best is 1100, and I enjoyed the playing.

That's an excellent point that I didn't think of - I'm developing on a laptop, and so my arrow keys are very close to the Enter key. But on a normal full-sized keyboard, Enter tends to be further away, huh? And splitting the functionality between the two hands more evenly makes sense, too. Excellent feedback. Thank you!

Is 2190$ a good score?? Anyways, WOW, I really liked your game, it felt like playing a Mario Party minigame. Good job, it was fun. 

Keep making games:)

I would say it's a good score! It takes a couple tries to get the right rhythm. I love Mario Party, so this is a huge compliment! 😄

I liked this game financial simulation. The gameplay loop is engaging and fast-paced. Its simple and requires mechanical skill, which makes it so much more engaging. Although I do want to say that the application of the theme is just a bit off, since technically the player only builds and the cat is the one doing all the destroying. Why is the cat so rude all the time though...

Nice fun, quick paced game. I think it's funny that I broke $1000 and it was still only enough for two books. Expensive baking text books.

I've never really made a comedic game before, so I'm happy that made you laugh 🙂 I was proud of the design of this one!

I love this so much! Concept and execution are both great.

Thank you! I was struggling with the theme this time around, so I'm happy I found something that was satisfying to play. 🙂
