How does the game fit the theme?
"Risk it for the biscuit" - both literally and metaphorically. The end goal is to obtain the Golden Biscuit that Nobody misplaced, and the player chooses what amount of risk they are willing to take in order to gain appropriate rewards. Difficult spells are more effective, but harder to pull off.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
We did our own programming and our own art, the only portion we have used that was not made by us is the audio:

HOLY, this is way too fun and enjoyable, it never failed to surprise me with how creative and on theme it is and all, AHHH hoping for a post jam updated release

Thank you so much! We've never done a post jam updated release before but there's a lot of great feedback that makes me think maybe we should try to! :)
This game is awesome!! Love the visuals (need a sticker of the witch asap) and the mechanics were really fun and unique, I enjoyed the different minigames for every spell. I can't seem to find any criticism so well done!!
Thank you so much! Stickers would be so cute!
Absolutely incredible work!
For a two-person team, this is genuinely an outstanding achievement!
The visuals are stunning—everything from the sprites and animations to the spell effects is just so beautifully crafted. I’m genuinely amazed. I adore this art style; it’s such a joy to look at!
Gameplay-wise, it was super intuitive. The effects were clean and easy to read, and the short descriptions made everything feel accessible without sacrificing depth.
Some of the ability minigames were a bit tough for me (Lightning, I’m looking at you), and let’s just say their enhanced versions... remain unspoken 😅.
But Chaos Bolts? That was my ride-or-die spell. When I finally got the Jar, I was very happy!
Gale was my reliable backup😉
PS. Made the wizzard happy!
Thank you for playing and the kind words! I did find some of the minigames harder than others as well, we would do well with an easy/hard modes for any future changes haha.
This is an amazing game! I think it skillfully combines multiple ideas to create a new experience. The art and animations are also incredibly cute.
Thank you so much! Animation is not what I normally do so I'm glad you thought it was cute! :)
This is such a charming game, I love the writing and the art so much :)
I really like that slay the spire style choosing the next room you're going to be going into. The mini games were fun but unfortunately it was a little laggy in my browser which made some of them a little too hard for me to get right. That's just how it goes sometimes though!
Great work with this!
Thank you for your kind words! Which browser were you using? Curious to know!
I'm on Firefox over here :)
Thank you for the update!
The art style really pulled me in to try this game and I'm glad it did, I loved using the different spells to try to do the most damage before I get killed. I only wished during the rapid fire spell it made sound with the pop ups spawned as well, other than that the game is wonderfully polished well done!
Thank you for your feedback! Would be a good thing to add if we work more on this! :)
Loved the minigames, but the harder/special versions were too much risk to handle :`(
The humor, art, and sound was great!
Thank you very much! We probably would do better if we thought of easy & hard modes when we made the game.
Absolute Cinema! This game is so balanced in everything I really enjoyed it so much. The theme is perfect and the mechanics are implemented cleaverly. The use of the spells and the minigames it has are super fun although i faced issues with the purple bubbles kept losing because of them T_T
Excellent work!
Thank you for the feedback! We're glad to hear you thought it was balanced :) I also struggle with that minigame so it's hard!
Super clever and amazing art! The minigames are all suited to like exactly my weaknesses, like give me the four things I’d be the worst at and I think this would be the set. It feels super swingy and punishing to miss spells at times and like there’s very little recourse if you do. It’s a fun idea but I wish it weren’t so difficult. Good work though :)
Thank you for your feedback! Balancing the minigames seems to be the downfall! We didn't want to have it too easy, so its a risk, but having it too hard is another risk of its own haha!
Wow incredible game. I love the "slay the spire" gameplay with minigames. For real it's one of my favourite from this jam ! And it's so well done with the dialogue that explain each spell with a bit of humour. I love your game ! Definitely going to be one of the winner. Congrats <3
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a fun game to make and very cool to see people love it so much!
The art is amazing, really perfect! The gameplay too, it’s a very unique and creative game, such a perfect fit for the theme. But wow, the difficulty of the risk was way above normal, for me it was basically a death sentence to try using those spells. After about 6 attempts on the last two difficulties, I think I only managed to pull off one skill.
The sound is also really good. Great game, congrats to the team!
Thank you for the feedback! I think we should have had a easy/hard mode so there was a bigger range of difficulties for everyone to play. Really cool stuff we're learning!
Amazing work! One of the best games I've played on this jam!
Thank you!
Game feels well polished, has great art and sound design. Risk/reward nature of main gameplay loop is very cohesive with the theme. I'm not a fan of minigames and qte mechanicks so so it got frustrating for me fast, but, even so, I can see that the game is quite good. Great job!
Thank you very much for your kind words even if it frustrated you! Really nice to see people in the community try things even if they don't usually play the genre.
Really fun game! The art is super charming and the spellcasting minigames add a cool twist. Great job!
Wanna try my game?
Thank you so much! Will play your game shortly :)
