LOVE the design in this game! The whole multiple bread gun thing was an excellent take on the theme, but that touch where you can eat your weapon to heal was genius. I really like it when games have that aesthetic of 2D sprites in a 3D world, gives me some Grandia and DOOM (or Adventures of Square based on the palette) vibes. Great stuff!
There's not enough games in this world that let you eat your gun. That and the name of the game are where this truly excels. I had a good chuckle when the ducks popped up and I realized why I was baking a loaf of bread. Few games in jams get the chuckle from me, so you have earned very high marks from me sir. As a side note, I wouldn't call if a criticism but please consider making the font a bit bigger in the settings menu...I could not read that at all lol fortunately the normal gameplay font was fine so no issues
Loved the idea of baking an edible gun. Really really cool! I did got a bit confused with it at first, but I had a good time. Great job!
Such a clever take on an FPS. Also awesome SFX considering you made them by yourself. “Big duck” made me laugh, I’m a big fan of bosses just named what they are lol
Typing some thoughts as I play:
Thanks for playing! Glad you liked the pretzel crosshair, that was my favorite little detail.
Thanks for the feedback! :)
Oh man I probably played this longer than I should have. I kinda blindly ran the game without looking at the pictures and was very confused about having to bake bread... but when I saw the ducks I just busted up laughing as I shot them with bready goodness! Loved the fact that you can eat your gun for HP and that you can keep kneading the dough to make different types of guns. Lots of fun fighting off the duck waves. Only feedback i have is I wish the duck had some more animations to give them life.
oh honestly I do too! I really didn't budget my time well, and had to cut a lot of the things I wanted to do right at the end.
No worries! Game jams in a nutshell. All around great work though!
the art in this is incredible , and I like the concept and unique approach to the focus , Also I have alot of things to say about your noises but lets not talk about any they're simply amazing thats what I'm gonna say.....also BREAD 5/5 for everything!
The sound effects were made at 5AM, that's all I'll say LOL
I really enjoyed your game too! I loved the sound and music you had for everything!
Fun game! loved the 'bake your own gun' concept, very original.
Glad you enjoyed! I thought your game was gorgeous!!
Amazing game! loved the graphics and the way you used the theme. I also loved to just see 'press space to eat gun'. only thing is the remixes of hot cross buns did get a little grating by the time i got to the pekin ducks.
haha fair enough! There's not a whole lot of musical material to work with in the original tune, so I should've added some breakdown sections without the melody. The working title of the game funny enough was Eat Gun
good working title.
Very Good Game, 5 Start On The Fun Category
i didnt know there were duck flavored geese
the gameplay seems relaxed until you are faced with the mechanic of eating your gun to stay alive. then, at low health and without a weapon, the urgency of baking a new gun while evading the ducks kicks in. really cool interaction! i think it could be extended to more recipes to make things like powerups that reward players who manage to complete cooking tasks while evading and taking out enemies
epic ducky
This game was able to completely satisfy my breadlust, 10/10
interesting take on multi-use! very original concept!
Hilarious (and fun) concept! The mouse sensitivity was really high though and made it difficult to play
Glad you liked it! There's a slider to change sens under settings on the main menu!
That makes a lot of sense, I really should have looked harder!
