Love the shadow fight style art! The character inputs feel really smooth (in a good way!). Hope you expand on this project in the future, great job!

Limbo atmosphere meets Dead Cells level design, I had a fun time with this.

Only thing left to be desired is being able to throw the cookies around using the mouse (and mouse dragging too), I hope you can add that if you plan on updating the game after the jam - Marc

The feeling of the mouse stretching its arms to drag objects is fantastic! The art style and atmosphere are incredibly strong as well.

The atmosphere is so good, and it's really well-paced. The whole thing feels so cohesive from art to tone to mechanics. Would have loved to have enough upgrades that I could choose what to buy instead of just grabbing the next one, to incentivise the loop a little more, but that's a real nitpick. Its great

First of all, this game has some of the most polish and best visuals of any entry I've seen.

It's also one of the first games that really left an impact with how it implemented the theme. My first run, I was super conservative, grabbed a few biscuits, and then ended. Then I realized how it might be possible to get a lot more by knocking them down off ledges without dragging them back, fitting them into stacks, and bringing pushing them back toward the goal at the end.

But I got greedy. I had something like ten cookies in piles just a short trek from the entrance, and misjudged how much time I had left. So there I was, with all the cookies I had painstakingly prepared, frantically trying to drag them into the basket and becoming panicked as they became stuck on ledges or I could find the right angle to pick them up.

And that's where I died, next to my small fortune of biscuits that I'd never be able to spend.

This game gives me anxiety.

Great work!

Your game is pure style and class! I am just amazed how you managed to pull all that alone in a jam time! It's a full-fledged game! Sell it in Steam! :D

Tim van den EngDeveloper227 days ago(+1)

I'm thinking of maybe expanding it and then selling it for a couple of bucks. Thanks for your kind words!

Great news! Congrats! Added to wish list :)

Level LabsSubmitted227 days ago

Really pretty visuals, super polished for a 7-day jam! The start was a bit confusing—go to the overworld just to head straight back. Physics feel nice overall, but carrying stuff is a bit clumsy, things kept slipping out of my hands. Managed to softlock myself with a perfectly wedged biscuit, lol. Feels super professional, gave me Limbo vibes. Would love to see more!

I really love the art style, and the gameplay fits the theme well and is fun to play. I think it could be a great extraction game for a 2D platformer. I hope you keep working on it!

Enjoyed your game! Got some Limbo vibes from the art style and atmosphere. The biscuit physics were pretty cool, once I figured out that pushing and flipping were quicker. Using E to grab with WASD was quite difficult though, would be nice if could use right click or something. Also the online leaderboard was a nice touch. Great job!
