This was funny and unique! Nice work.

Very cool concept and love the usage of the danish butter cookie can! Had a lot of fun! 😊

Really good art, gameplay is solid. Well designed. Enjoyed it a lot. Awesome entry

Developer

Thanks! Had to change course a few times cause of Scopitis, so we are glad that the end product worked out.

Submitted

Had trouble in the first run, since it already began while I was reading the instructions, but afterwards I instantly understood it. Really loved the artstyle and the sound effects! Great play experience.

Thanks! Yeah onboarding stuff came at the last second, could be better but then again so could everything else.

Submitted

This is such a funny and fitting idea, really liked the concept. The background looks great and the little sewing-kit units are adorable. Fun entry overall, the theme and presentation definitely made it memorable.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, the artists really brought their A game for this one.

Submitted

Seems there is some problem - the itch page says that you haven't uploaded the game, but I see that others played it? 

Developer

I mistakenly deleted the previous build before checking that I was allowed to upload the newer one with the bugfixes. Hadn't realized bugfix period ended. I assure you it was a fun game, lol.

Submitted

oh:( I'll play it when you will manage to upload the game again:)

Developer

Yeah build was lost and neither the organizers or itch can do anything about it, had to reupload here:

Hope you can give it a try and maybe rate it since we are like 8 ratings short of an actual score.

Is the game no longer available? I see that others have played it but the Itch page says “the developer has not uploaded a game yet” image.png

Took me a while to figure out what to do, it would've been nice to get some hints or guidance. Really fun game that feels quite solid. The art is adorable! Great entry.

Submitted

I don't get most of the mechanics. Without a tutorial or any visual clue its hard to understand what units do and how they move. For me, spamming random units is enough to win without understanding how the game actually behaves and plays, which is a shame. 

Submitted

That was a quick and fun victory! The spool seems very powerful it can take out a group of enemies on its own. I'd suggest adding some hover UI to show unit stats. Fun game overall!

Submitted

Very cute! Love the little sprites for the sewing kit units. Won pretty fast, but still this made me smile. :)

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted

I really enjoyed the combination of RTS and pastel cookie battlefield. The art was beautiful and the concept was a lot of fun! I would like to see more levels that need more strategy to win. :)

Submitted

Nice game idea, i don't get what the different units do differently from eachother, and the points counter on top are cut out for me, i can't see those.
The music and art are bangers for a jam, i like those very much.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, just updated the build that fixes that UI issue. What did you think about the theme angle? Did it feel strange enough? lol

Submitted

Nice art and idea, would love to see more levels in the future.

Developer

I'd like  to implement a better AI and different "generals" first but different level configurations would also shake things up. Gotta talk to the team about where to take it next. Thanks for playing!
