Some jammers might remember creativetherapyco from their prior work and this game definitely lives up to the hype. A cute yet challenging game loop keeps you choosing between safety and risk while you gather upgrades. It is nice seeing a leaderboard system in this jam and encouragement to replay the game. I do wish the character controller was more fluid and you had more in the environment to help pull off the heists, like more dynamic NPC pathing or different types of obstacles like a dog door to help you get around tricky choke points. Overall it is a solid game that will win the hearts and minds of jammers everywhere.

How does the game fit the theme?
The theme is “Risk it for the biscuit” and that’s exactly what the game is about! You play as Kobi the dog, sneaking around the house to eat biscuits from the jar. Each time you finish a jar, you have a choice: risk it by going for another heist, or bank what you’ve earned by going to bed. Push your luck too far and the humans will catch you... but the bigger the risk, the more biscuits you can grab!
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

Wow, 😲 thank you for such an awesome and detailed comment! I’m really happy you enjoyed the game loop, upgrades, and leaderboard. I hear you on the character controller and environment ideas, those would be super fun to add. A dog door for Kobi’s biscuit heists made me laugh, I can totally picture it. Thanks again for playing and for all the encouragement! 😊
Game is very well polished! Love the art, love the stealth mechanic! Enjoyed it a lot, but I believe the leaderboard is not working anymore :( I gotten as far as 10 heists I would assume it's quite far.

Shoot For The StarsThank you so much, I’m glad you enjoyed the art and the stealth mechanic! Wow 10 heists is really far, nicely done. The leaderboard only lets you enter your name if you end the heist by going to bed, and it won’t work if a hooman catches you. I’ll double check it though. Really appreciate you playing and sharing your experience :)
Brilliant theme implementation! The idea of showcasing real players as part of the game’s advertising is such a clever and heartwarming touch - absolutely loved it 💖
Gameplay-wise, a few more indicators for enemy range or alert states would really help reinforce the stealth mechanics. Honestly, I ended up playing it more like a chaotic game of tag - GOTTA GO FAST! 😄
As we discussed, making perks feel more impactful through level design or goal-based interactions would elevate the experience. Right now, MORE BISCUITS and Big Bite felt like the only truly viable choices - would love to see more variety and strategic depth there.
Visually, the game is stunning. The cozy, cute art style fits the theme beautifully and adds a ton of charm to the overall experience.
Overall a charming and creative stealth game with standout personality!
PS. this reminds me a little of a game that my friends made some time ago :P

Witch WayThank you so much for such a detailed and encouraging comment. I’m really glad the theme implementation and the little touches like showing real players resonated with you. Your feedback on enemy indicators and perks is really valuable, and I agree that making those elements more impactful could add more depth and variety.
I checked out Sneakerdoodle and I was so surprised at the similarities between our games! It was really fun to see that connection.
I truly appreciate you playing and taking the time to share such thoughtful notes, it means a lot to me!
This is a perfect jam game—super addictive, with a leaderboard that makes it really replayable, and so fun (and risky!) to play XD I loved it! (For now, I’m on the leaderboard :D)

Riskfight DummyThe artstyle's absolutely adorable!! The gameplay was also very enjoyable, I like how complete the game is, and the fact you can get power-ups every end of round. Definitely something that can be played over and over again! Nice work!!

Biscuit GremlinsGreat game! Nice and cozy love the aestetic! Could use a wider variety of environments and family members to avoid and a continuous power up system! Solid work <3 *this game was live reviewed here: twitch.tv/gratefulllyivory (will post vod after stream)

Yoki Battles Blue BotsThanks so much, I’m really glad you enjoyed the cozy vibe and aesthetic! I appreciate the suggestions about adding more environments, family members, and a continuous power up system... those are great ideas to build on. And it was awesome getting to hang out in the stream while you played, I really enjoyed seeing your reactions in real time. Thanks again for the thoughtful feedback <3 Good luck on getting the high score on the leaderboard if you decide to revisit it - I'm rooting for you :-)
it is so good for the jam, cool idea, you can continue work on it and make a very good game, good arts, music, and also levels design

Risk it for biscuitNot sure if the leaderboard works, but pretty cool, very neat artwork! I think with my mashing abilities it gets a bit easy though.

Rats to RichesI love how serious the dog's face looks, but then he has silly paws haha :D. The art and animations are polished. Sounds fitting. The use of line of sight and noise makes this much better than if just one was used. Risking it all is an obvious great fit for the theme, even if it annihilated my run. Easily a replayable mobile game with more art themes and unlockables. Good job!
Submitted
Dunk the BiscuitHaha yes, Kobi takes his biscuit missions very seriously, even if his silly little paws give him away 😆 I’m glad you enjoyed the art, animations, and sound, and it’s great to hear the line of sight and noise mechanics came through well. Love the idea of more art themes and unlockables for replayability too. Thanks so much for the thoughtful feedback and kind words!
Cute Game , Loved The Art Style , The Game Would Be a Little More Intense If The Hoomans Speed Was Increased a Litttle More..Great Work :)

Locked Cookie ?What a lovely game !! I really had fun while playing it, the art looks really clean. And I love the small details here and there, the small socks are so cute. It was not really clear to me how the hooman would chase me, as I could just go to the bowl and eat everything with full noise, but then it got tricky we more hoomans. :D
Really good job, fun idea and nice execution ! :D

Wish Upon a StarThank you so much, I’m really glad you had fun and enjoyed the art and little details. Kobi’s socks are one of my favourite parts too 😊 You’re right about the humans at the start, they don’t react strongly enough, but once they show up again, it definitely gets trickier. I appreciate you sharing your experience and I’m happy you enjoyed the idea and execution!
SUPER CUTEE!!!!! I love the doggy tip tap animation! I almost died from how cute it was, and you came up with some fun and creative power ups to make each run different and engaging. Awesome job!

PUNCH+GIRLSVery charming game! Super cute concept. I love how the toys are upgrades! I agree with the other comments that say that Kobi dodges the humans too easily, but other than that, great work!!

Squish CatsThese humans need to just worry about moving around the furniture and let me live my best biscuit eating life
Very cute game! Great general vibe and game play. I love the little booties perk so much haha
Submitted
Cookie CrumbleReally fun game, are graphics are fantastic, fit the vibe perfectly.
I feel it was a little too easy dodging the humans, very often I passed by one without issues, may be a good idea to increase the hitboxes a little?

Biscuit MafiaVisuals , sfx, music , assets , theme , gameplay , EVERYTHING was just top notch, best one so far

One MORE BiteI love Kobi! What a lovely game, the graphics were really cute (especially Kobi's little socks) and the gameplay was fun. I especially like the perks at the end of each round, as well as unlocking others to start a new run with. Overall great game!
