Love the characters! From the menu and intro I was expecting a very dark and gloomy game and then suddenly blue skies and cookies! Pros: Boss fight! Cons: Awkward camera angle and environment was less detailed than characters (but understandable).

@jordan-neff thanks for your feedback! The detail didn't quite match due to a mixing of original and non-original assets (hence the op-out). Regardless, your view is helpful for any of our future attempts! Thanks again.

This was actually hilarious. Me and my brother were literally laughing out loud for the entire boss fight. Well done.

Cookie hunger is a very serious problem. I really liked the story and the mom boss fight, although it was too hard for me since I kept getting cornered.

Expected a dark and scary game, got a happy surrounding. Well done. The game needs better models but its a jam, so there is not much time for that, what a shame. Anyway, I had my fun with it. Nice job!

Oh damn! I should stop eating cookies.

You put a nice story into jam game, I really appreciate that - as I always had problems creating story-driven games for jam (simply because of time scale).

The boss fight was way too easy in my opinion (you could just click and wait for killing). Adding some hit-zones to kill enemy faster (or in this case to literally 'cookie the enemy into oblivion'), would improve it a lot.

Keep up the good work!

I really didn't expect it to turn out this way, great job on the story and mood of the game. Although I can't say the same about gameplay, curiosity pushed me to the end of the game. An overall nice experience, nicely done.

The game looks fantastic ! Please can you make a macOS / Web build ? :smiley:

@xclementx, I don't have a mac computer to build the game to, sorry! I'll look into the HTML build or try and at least post some screenshot or gameplay footage in order to show off the game :)

Well, I guess I'm hungry now. haha
Simple and fun quick game you got there.
The graphics are cool and I think that a more action packed song would help. I found the movement a little bit floaty. Overall, nice job!

Very very amusing concept and fun little story. The boss battle was a little repetitive. But excellent work in 3 days!

Please, no mum! I only do it to fit in with the other kids. Nice short little experience. I liked the humor that was added on top of what presented as a scary game. (Oh and it's thoroughly terrifying, to think this could happen to any child)The boss fight was a bit buggy for me, the mother just kept running into me not attacking. Though I think if she was attacking I would have been doomed!

You need to have the same graphic quality for everything. The cover at was amazing

Everything beside the gameplay was really good.

5/5 in mood, since the mother part really triggered me a bit :) Keep up the amazing work!

Nice little humorous story! But it lacked gameplay :confused:

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. The reason the graphics quality didn't quite match on everything is because the two of us didn't have the time or experience to create characters/animate them before the deadline. So we opted out of the category. As far as the gameplay critiques, all I can say is that we tried to make it fun but we appreciate the feedback and will try harder for next time.

Cute little adventure and a funny story, but the gameplay was very unpolished. The concept was there and could have been good if it was more smoothed out, but as it is nothing felt like it had any punch to it.

I enjoyed it a lot, it was very ambitious so it is not odd at all that you ran out of time, I think we all did :D


Great job and great entry!

What on earth did I just play? :D

Odd little game, but quite fun! I will say it felt a little easy, (the mother fight I just strafed backwards and hit cookie until it ended) but still, not a bad entry at all. Thanks for making it!

Immersive story! lol. Not sure if it was intentional or not, but eating cookies seemed to slow you down even though you needed them to fill your energy bar, which was a fun balancing act. Also the cars pulling out randomly was hilarious.
