How does the game fit the theme?
The game is about a person who risks their life to go buy cookies at a convenience store. We have taken a literal approach to the theme, as well as a figurative one, since you can choose between two paths: one that is simple with normal rewards, and another that involves more risk and provides greater rewards.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Just the font types. Everything else (sprites, music, sfx...) have been made during the jam.

How many people worked on the game?

I love it! The art is very well done (the color pallet is super well chosen imo) and conveys that quirky vibe of the game, but the gameplay is sometimes confusing since i can't really tell when my attacks are doing anything and when they aren't. But I can definitely see a lot of potential here otherwise!! Nice work!

Pretty solid though I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to do anything useful while clearheaded? Every card just seemed to scare the guy and not . The game being so cryptic was super cool thematically and I was excited to try to figure out how each different style would play, but after trying all three I’m left pretty confused. Clearheaded seems to not function, creepy seems to have only one card that does anything to the enemy? I don’t know if I was just getting lucky but grenade for badass just instantly won every encounter, and I think I won that run? either that or I blew myself up, it was ambiguous.

Anyway the atmosphere and art and style and everything was really compelling to me, I just wish the gameplay made some more sense

The art and audio are nice, and you can see there was some work in them!

Sadly, I am not convinced with the gameplay. Maybe it's a bug of the web build, but I couldn't pass the sellman (first encounter in the game!) despite launching every "attack" I could.

Congrats for your game anyway!

I appreciate a game that has fun with character art - and juuust a dose of brain rotting weirdness.

The enemies weren't much of a threat, I think I only took a single point of damage in my three playthroughs? But I enjoyed myself greatly.

I like the artstyle! It has a nice vibe. The audio is fine.

For the gameplay: I like turnbased cardgames, but i was not always sure what was happening with each card. The selection of the cards did also not work a 100 percent and sometimes my mana was refilled without ending the turn. The feedback if the "attack" was good was missing completly (or i am blind and i didnt saw it).

But overall nice idea, with a little more polish and playerfeedback could be much more enjoyable.

Interesting little RPG. Took me a few tries to beat it, but it was definitely a fun time!

Keep up the good work!

Well done graphics, the theme is on point in this game! A few bugs with selecting which direction to go, but that's understandable with the time constraints. I loved being able to choose what kind of player I'd like to be. Lots of options! Overall great game and I'd like to see how this develops in the future! Great work you guys!

I really liked the art style and the humor! I was a bit confused by the combat, but overall I think it's really good, even though it's unfinished.

Amazing art, simple but fun.

All the visuals were fantastic I'm baffled you managed to get all of this done, and the game works pretty well. The only issue is that at some point I couldn't attack. Love the game though im curious as to where it will go.

A bit hard to figure out but the presentation, music and art is all absolutely incredible! This in one week is seriously impressive.

The visuals are beautiful, the game attracted immediately, but for some reason when it's my turn, I can not attack, apparently a bug of some kind :(

Audio is amazing, visuals are good too, but it's hard to read text on the cards. I think I stumbled on a bug, my game just froze while enemies were attacking me, so I had to restart. Also I think it would be better if enemies HP would be visible? And almost always cards I used didn't take away my mana, I don't know if it's a bug or I misunderstood something. Anyway great job!
