I really love the graphics and its a really interesting gambling concept for a game. simple but fun and interesting. Some thoughts from playing it:
- it wasn't initially clear what to expect and maybe that is part of the experience. Do I wait just 1.03 multiplier? or can I potentially go up to 33x? My first run stopped almost immediately at 1.1 so maybe having an initial range skewed towards higher multipliers in the beginning then adjusting it as the player gets more cookie dough
- I think there was a lost opportunity where the more dough you put the longer you can wait since more cookie dough = longer time to bake so maybe adjusting the multiplier range accordingly to that
- having some incentive for getting more cookie dough, maybe you can buy new cookie dough like with nuts or marshmallows that can change the multiplier.
Overall really fun concept and can do a lot with it. Graphics are amazing and sells the game really well. Congrats on the submission!

Thanks for the feedback! Yes we definitely could have done more with the risk reward aspect and balancing the numbers to make it more engaging for the player. We did think about adding in the concept of chocolate chips to boost score as well! Time unfortunately did get the better of us and we decided to settle on a straight gambling mechanic haha.
