Thank you so much for leaving us such detailed feedback! Not being able to spend all of your biscuits was intentional- we didn't want the player to be able to spend all of their dough themselves and cause a game over. We definitely need to rework the tutorial to make the hp = currency mechanic more clear. I also really appreciate the feedback on the minigame - we went back and forth a TON the first half of the jam about how difficult to make it. We wanted to thread the needle of it being fun to play, while not taking your attention so far away from the tower defense aspect that it feels unfair or purposefully hard to play. All in all we have our fair share of stuff to fix in the post jam patch, but I'm glad you were able to enjoy the game and get in the zone anyway!

Ah i see, in that case. i think it could make more sense where you could go to 0 biscuits, but if the dog comes while you have 0 biscuits you insta-die, but i could see it going either way. as for the minigame, i think it would feel more enjoyable overall if you had to do minigame to start the baking process (maybe 3 to 5 seconds) then it auto baked cookies for an additional period of time so the player can go do other things, spend resources, repair, or you could look to add in other things for the player to do. on top of that the mini game could have varying difficulty for that short period of time, resulting in lower or higher amounts of cookies baked.
still fun and nice work!
