This was great! Endless tweaking in a Discord chat is so the jam experience. Very cute.
These devs are just pure evil, man, whyyy :'(
Super creative approach though — even while they were torturing me, I couldn’t help but laugh at the interactions.
Only wish I actually got replies to my messages (maybe some AI magic?) and that the controls could be tightened up — less wall-sticking and smoother jumps would make it feel so much better!
Ooh, really cool game! I love the art, and the game is overall very polished! I also think the dialogues feel very.. not-pre-entered :)
Probably one of the most creative and immersive games I've played this jam :D
cute and lovely
Very polished. Nice game!
Thanks, glad you liked it! 🍞
Loved the neverending brainstorming theme. Got stuck in it several times myself :)) very creative. good work and wish the best <3
Also would love to see what you think about my relaxing puzzle game. thanks ^^
Thanks for playing! We are glad you enjoyed it :D
Don't worry, I'll play your game when i've got time 🍞
Really liked the right side of the screen, platforming felt polished, and although sometimes a bit unfair, kept the vibe going, great art and sounds!
Now for the wrong side of the screen...
Glad you liked the game! Anything wrong with the chat?
...
did i say anything mean?
Haha, was just a joke, maybe I'm too sensitive :D
Really cool concept, i loved spamming in chat and getting told to shut up, very realistic. I'm not sure if there was an ending since i got stuck in repeat with them adding bread collectibles back and forth. The art is really cute. Great job!
Thanks a lot, glad you liked it!
And yes, the game is endless, the mechanics are added randomly so you might get the same mechanic added twice in a row. But bread collectibles are a tier 3 mechanic (which are quite rare), you must have either unlocked a lot of crazy stuff or just got very unlucky.
I hope i didn't say anything mean to you while you were playing :)
I like the idea of the game evolving with the chat, someone sugested the player to be the plug instead of the toaster, ha! silly idea.
Glad you enjoyed! I'm sure the dev who suggested that is a terrible dev, terrible idea...
...
oh wait, it was my idea
"Your mom." - Me typing in chat as quickly as I could.
Fun fact, there is a chance dog replies to you saying "ur mom" ;)
Art and idea is neat, quite buggy though with the jumping and all
Thanks and sorry, we were so focused on adding crazy mechanics we didn't spend enough time working on the player movement :(
Glad you liked it! 🍞
yeahhh, it's perfectly fair given the game jam
Fun idea to add chat to the gameplay, also loved the art.
I'd say the idea is more of a "gameplay added from a chat", but glad you liked it :)

Average game jam experience ngl! I must say, the charm is off the charts here, I was smiling for most of the chats as it's a resonant concept (fits my own experiences). Having a distinct cast of characters to learn about, via writing style and comedy, and seeing how they interact is so compelling. Especially when it seems based on the actual dev team. It's like I'm a fly on the wall, which is extremely cozy. The theming, art (pixel is satisfying), and sounds feel upbeat and calm too with a nice polish, a harmonic complement to the personable chats. Most of my motivation is from wanting to see more chatter, with the platformer as a palette cleanser.
Spoiler?: There's also a part in the music that feels twisted, and the ice conversation was alarming. There's a lot of potential a sinister twist like Doki.I really wanted to see more but I got stuck and I'm currently convinced it would be hard to see anyways.Constructive Criticism: At some point, it feels as if there's lack of progression. I assume that a change is made and you complete the level, you keep it, and if you don't, you lose it, which leads to the game being harder and harder. However, there are some combinations which break other changes, like playing the plug and also having to jump on enemies, and I was dreading going back to the platformer. From here, when the chats replay and there's infinite days I'm wondering if 1) I could undo a change and 2) if the game will ever end. It makes me think that I wish I could talk to the characters and say 'can i undo this one please' and contribute to the conversation. On a greater scale, if making this a full game, I'd like to see greater changes and feel the progression to this amazing project, like 'wowwww we did so much!!' and how the characters grow from it, developing the conversation more. Well done!
(p.s. an ability to pause and quit the game would be great. )
Thanks for the feedback!
We are aware there are some mechanics are not compatible with each other and that might cause some bugs, the 4 days period didn't give us enough room to playtest unfortunately and we wanted to add as many crazy mechanics as possible :(
The team did its best to make the game as polished and fun as possible in the given time, and although we might not meet everyone expectations we are very happy and proud of the result.
Glad you liked it and thanks for playing our game :)

I'm sure you've heard the mechanics compatibility a million times, no worries. It's really a lovely game. Just wanted to fill in some potential blindspots if you plan to extend it.
I really like the fake Discord chat while you play. It's really well done and them reacting to you makes it feel alive. The game's art is good too.
I rate it Toast/10
Thanks! I spent a lot of time working on the chat while the other devs were working on crazy mechanics. Our artists will appreciate that too :)
Glad you enjoyed it 🍞
VERY MUCH APPRECIATED🍞 🍞
Love the idea, very creative !!
Glad you liked it, thanks for playing :)

Very creative game, I liked the chaos of the many many mechanics, good job!
Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed our little game 🍞
