How does the game fit the theme?
MECHANICALLY
(1) Active Reload - Every time you reload, you can choose to press r at the right time to reload instantly, but if you fail you take longer than you would've if you hadn't *and* you generate heat.
(2) Heat - You have a heat meter that goes up whenever you fail an active reload, take damage, or accept an offer at the end of a room to increase it. The more toasted you get the better your stats, but be careful! If you end up Burnt then you lose all your heat bonuses and die in one hit.
(3) Find a better weapon... There are 9 unique weapons to find, if you feel too weak to beat the boss maybe you're better off looking for another weapon - the mythical Golden Baguette all but guarantees victory. But to get that loot, you have to combat deadly foes, increasing your chance of dying!
THEMATICALLY
You play as a biscuit dough dog going to rescue your biscuit dough human from the horrible Bungeon in the Oven, risking it all for the biscuit.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Some of the engine infrastructure already existed (using our own engine!) but nearly everything else code wise came from scratch this week.
Font - Love Bug by Chevy Ray
Enemy Spawn Effect - Free Effect and Bullet 16x16 by BDragon1727
Tileset (altered) - 2D PIxel Dungeon Asset Pack by Pixel_Poem
Also features a "victory chime"-y sound effect I (ephemerald) made like a year ago and, uh, https://www.cornify.com/

I loved the aesthetics of the game, it looked really well made and highly polished. Gameplay was fun but a bit challenging (probably because I was just running into danger all the time), but the whole risk mechanic with the heat meter was really unique and interesting. Overall really fun experience :)
LOVELY, CUTE, FUN and everything in betweenn, i really love gungeon styled games so this one for sure was something i would love
THE SOUNDS and MUSIC ARE AMAZING! I love how much style this little game has! I was confused at the start at what engine you were using only to find out it was custom, very impressive!
Woah! Really cool to see another gungeon inspired game! Though this obviously has much better polish then mine :P The heat mechanic is awesome and fits the theme really well! I generally love everything about this game lol. I will say though at some point the roll started to cover an insane amount of distance which felt a bit hard to control :D
ohh my god, this game was PURE cinema
This was such a good game, you nailed the roguelike bread dungeon vibes. The weapons were interesting, the enemies were adorable, the boss was so well designed. My best time was 1:04 thanks to the croissant, but I also had plenty of fun exploring the maze and taking my time. Overall, perfectly toasted game! I can't wait to see where you may take this
We loved the dungeon vibes and the bakery themed enemies and weapons. We liked fighting with the baguette, though being able to hit bullets back with it would be a fun game play. Good submission :)
Lovely! one of my favorites, this is the 5th time I say this today why do I always find the best games the last day haha
Fun game! Would've loved to see the health of my enemies as well.
Good job!
Adorable artwork, charming spin on Enter the Gungeon. Really got my buns burnt on the first run, but it was a fun one to play through!
