How does your game fit the theme?
Hi, my game is based on the pomodoro technique, a time management method where you loop study and break sessions, usually 25 minutes of focus followed by 5 minutes of rest. In Micro Baker, you can customize your own loops and earn fresh cookies as a reward for staying on track.

A fun idea! My only suggestion is to have a volume setting, so I can turn the sound off when I don't want it. But I actually did use it though, I tried putting in a picture of a cookie but it didn't work

Developer

Hi, thank you for your feedback! A volume setting is definitely on the way. In the meantime, I’ve tried to balance the sounds so they’re not too loud and can work as a kind of brown noise while studying.

Regarding your comment about "putting in a picture of a cookie": the cookie should already be there. The microwave door opens during break time and reveals it. Is this feature not working on your end?

Submitted

Oh no, I saw the cookie, but I couldn't screenshot it and put it in the comment for proof (because anyone could say they used it). The sound effects are good though, that was my favorite part.

Developer

Oh, thank you very much! I've manually recorded everything with my phone ahahah glad you liked it 💜
