Croissants From Hell by Kimily



Your dream to become a baker has finally come true! Except you made a deal with a demon to do it.
Sell delicious baked goods or die trying.
---How To Play---
Sign the contract by left-clicking on "SIGN HERE" and pressing enter or tapping away.
You may also type in your name if you'd like.
Left-click the dough buttons on the bottom left corner to buy dough. (Do not drag the buttons.)
Left-click and drag the purchased dough into the oven to bake them.
Drag the dough onto the display cases on the left to attract customers who might want to buy your dough.
Your life is a time and currency resource that must be replenished by customers purchasing your dough.
Buying a dough raises its price. However all the dough prices will slowly decrease over time.
Try to survive for as long as possible!
---Creator's Notes---
This was my first ever Ludum Dare submission and I'd never finished a game before. So I'm grateful for the experience, because Ludum Dare forced me to narrow down the scope of the game so that I could complete it!
All graphics (except the HP meter bar is a Unity default asset and the font used is not mine) were drawn by me, all coding done by me during the Jam, and there is only one song in the game(when you die), made by my friend JonnyBenny. In hindsight, I regret not putting in free audio/music into the game. I hope you enjoy anyway. :3 <3

The art style was really clean and polished. Good job there. I felt like the gameplay was on-theme, but content-light. By introducing new challenges and goals, you could potentially make an interesting gameplay loop. But of course, I recognize that there's only so much that you can do in a weekend, and this is a good effort. Nice work.
This game plays pretty well. I didn't realize that customers could buy stuff from the spaces behind the display platters at first, so I only ever had 3 baked goods out at once. The pizzas seem to be in a weird place balance-wise. I definitely killed myself somehow by buying too much.
Overall, it plays well. I would have loved some audio to really put the cherry on top. Nice work!
Edit: I didn't realize you opted out of audio until after I wrote this. Disregard that part of my comment :)
The game in its concept and realization feels very well done, but first customer takes too much time to come whereas others rush in in a great number, there should be some curve imo.
Even simple sounds from freesound.org would make this game just so much more interesting combined with the graphics.
There is a bug when someone takes the sandwich but time runs out you see the bar fill up but still die after a second, and finally the life should decrease just a bit slower or customers choose faster to compensate for that.
Overall a very strong entry and made me smile here and there !
Technically i could play forever if the prices would never reach higher than the sell out price.
Otherwise i really love the game, the only thing missing is the music and audio. I understand you had not time, i really wish there would be something though D: (you could have taken some free music and referenced the authors, i think that would have been better than nothing, but since you opted out of audio i won't rate you on it)
I would love to see your future games including Ludum Dare, if you have an itch.io, i will surely follow you for upcoming titles.
Good luck in your other games and continue the good job.
Congratulations!
