Controls & Tips:

The hero will follow your mouse cursor. Press Escape to pause the game.

Diving into the pie and carrying raisins will slow you down. Make sure to build up enough speed in the air before you enter the cake and get out again as quick as possible to not get stuck.


Comment if you like raisins (so we can bash you).

I honestly didn't understand the principle behind forging raisins, I kept grabbing them and couldn't get to the top.

I find it kind of gross, don't joke with the food bro, but that was kind of your intention I suppose.

I love the custscene and the humor in the game, very unusual and polished for a game jam game in this regard :)

Gameplay is simple but quickly understandable and takes some good amount of skill. Good submission overall!

A funny theme and creative staging make this game instantly engaging. The gameplay is simple and easy to pick up, but still offers a bit of a challenge. The sound design is very fitting aswell. Overall, a well-rounded and enjoyable package!

I love this game idea, even though I don't even dislike raisins. But its such a refreshing idea to the theme!
And the intro is super epic! The gameplay is also smooth, the only thing I wish for is for it to be a bit easier and have some kind of progression like multiple levels and upgrades for the hero! But these wishes are only due to the great idea and its stunning implementation!

Love the implementation of the theme! I feel like the game needs some kind of timer or combo system. As it stands, I don't see a reason why you wouldn't just grab one raisin, and then wait to build up speed to full again. I do like the idea though! Very neat!

Interesting mechanic!.

A pretty fun idea, and funny--with simple enough mechanics and just enough of a challenge that I couldn't do it in one try--it took like 10... Occasionally it seemed like a removed raisin didn't count, but other than that, I think it was smooth to play and well executed. Great work!
