How does the game fit the theme?
:

🎯 Literal Risk

You’re shooting cookies, some of which are good (points), some are burnt/poisoned (penalty).

Every shot is a risk: do you take a chance on that cookie or wait for a safer one?

🏆 Reward Mechanic

Hitting normal or golden cookies gives points.

Golden cookies = high reward, but they’re rarer — so you risk missing or hitting a burnt one to go for the big points.

⚡ Increasing Stakes

As cookies fall faster, the difficulty ramps up, so the player is forced to risk more to keep scoring.

🧩 Power-ups

Milk = slow motion (makes risky shots easier).

Sugar Rush = rapid fire (lets you risk shooting more cookies quickly).

Both add a risk/reward choice: pick up the power-up or ignore it.

😆 Humor/Style

The grandma yelling adds personality and tension — if you miss or hit burnt cookies, she reacts.

It’s silly, playful, and fits the jam’s vibe.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
None

Got it to run with python3, python2 gives out errors.

Pretty challenging, would say, couldn't get by for more than 20 seconds, though, probably am just a bad player myself. Nice to see a pygame submission, if I do say so myself:)

Maybe consider adding executables with pyinstaller, for wider reach? At least on your OS.
