oh no, did the video and/or instructions help at all?
Your game looks really cute too, but I'm on a Mac so cannot play it :((
Ugh not sure what happened there :') We are still on the journey to learn to make proper UI work ahah, so glad to hear you had fun anyway! :D
The music fit super well. The sound effects for eating/doing it wrong were perfect! The little cards at the beginning going ontop of each other was such a nice touch. The hand-drawn instructions went so well.
Love how you took the theme of deeper and applied it to dipping cookies, it's so apt.
Well done!
I think we managed to sort out the bug that we found ☺️ Silly me didn’t save the green bar properly!
Aww so glad you liked it, it really means a lot!
Glad you enjoyed the game :D
Sadly that could be me with my chocolate addiction... but at least it’s funny and a source of inspiration :)
A visual delight mixed into a batter and baked to a simple prestine game! It's honestly it was a delight!
* I do wish the gameplay is a bit more varied and I don't think difficulty was present the more you dip. (Time constraints, more cookies to dip in a short amount of time, etc.)
* The way you present how much you have to dip is good enough.
* ..but you should probably tell NOT to over dip it!
* You could also change how it's presented by having different colors of the bar instead of how fast you fill up. But if you're catering for the younger audience, you can keep it this way!
* The music changing is a very nice touch to refer to health. Something to consider for next time though for the deaf just in case...
* Congratulations, you actually made me buy chocolate chip cookies and it was good~
Other than those what I said, what you guys made here is really good and it's such a pleasing delight to play with at all! Definitely the passion is there and a very fun take on the theme~!
After that it was really easy. Maybe too easy. After the 10th round it's very repetitive
What really stands out are the graphics. Very cute and the characters are just lovely.
I liked the color palette and the expressions are ♥
I think it's a fun game for kids! I know a 6 year old who at the moment learns how to use a computer. I'll show his mom this game, maybe he'll have fun!
The gameplay is a little bit repetitive. Otherwise nice little game!
Anyway, it's a great entry, keep on making games with similar visuals, I just love it. :paintbrush: :thumbsup:
The gameplay is where it stumbles a bit though. I played until I got bored, around score 50 or so (OK, I got bored before then, but thought 50 might be a "win the game" break point...). The worst part of the gameplay is that it requires you to keep your eyes glued to the arrow icon so you can't enjoy the rest of the great art on screen!
Even though that probably comes off complain-y, I loved the entry overall! Great work!
P.S.
