Simple, and far too addictive! My poor mouse!! Good work. Good luck in the jam

Nice game! I like clickers and the approach of timed rounds and cookie gambling was really good!
What a brilliant idea for the theme; cookie clicker + gambling. And the idea of time limiting your "rounds" was really cool.
There's a major problem though; the second gamble option has an EV (expected value) above 0:
3 in 10 chance of winning 5x your cookies, that means if you have enough cookies to not go bust quickly, you can basically generate infinity cookies.
Think about if I played it 1000 times, I'm expected to get 300 wins (+400 cookies each time = 120k cookies) and 700 losses (700 x 100 = 70k cookies). Which is a profit of £50k cookies.
So I beat the game with this exploit quite quickly
You're totally right! With this method I won the game pretty quickly.
This game was so fun! I almost smashed my mouse for how fast I was clicking xd
Thank you for playing the game and leaving feedback!
The vibe on this was great, loved the clean graphics and interface. I think there needed to be more rewards though, I didn't find it compelling enough just to get a higher number, I usually play clickers to see what's going to be added at the next stage. Cool idea adding the gambling mechanic, good use of the theme!

Very fun clicker game. As others have said, the second upgrade makes the game really easy to win. Though, I like gambling my cookies for more cookies. My poor mouse was harmed in the process of gathering cookies to feed my gambling obsession. Amazing work though!

Good clicker game. Like others have pointed out, the 2nd upgrade/gambling choice is a guaranteed win over time.

I feel bad for my mouse... Also I think there's no point in doing anything but selecting 2 upgrade? I bought everything by simply pressing it over and over again since mathematically it's profitable
Cute little game overall
Thank you for playing the game and leaving valuable feedback!
The music was good but I felt like most of the game was unfunctional or maybe that was a bug of some sort
Thank you for playing the game and leaving feedback!
Loved the game!
Here are a couple of things you might consider:
The cookie click could use a bit more juice—some extra feedback to make each click feel more satisfying.
The gameplay loop might feel stronger if you replaced the gambling element with a replay system where players restart but keep the upgrades they earned from previous runs.
Thank you for playing the game! I really wanted to add satisfying effects when clicking the cookie, but unfortunately, I didn’t have enough time to make it work well.
Really loved the gambling element to this clicker. It turns the cookies into a resource and adds another layer. Almost like clicking is your day job so you can afford to go to the cookie casino.
Thank you for playing the game and leaving a review!
Thanks for making this game! This is exactly the kind of game I love to play. Once I got to around 2000 cookies I was able to use the second bet over and over all the way up to 20000 so might have to maybe drop the percentage down there a little bit but it did feel nice winning all that money haha. If you work on it anymore, I think tracking a total time from start to buying the winning biscuit and then having a leader board showing fastest times could be a lot of fun!
Thank you for playing the game! I’m glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for leaving such a detailed review.
Oh I was hoping for a cookie clicker in this jam, and yours has an interesting twist! The timer just felt a little too interruptive at times, but I like the behind it.
Thank you for playing the game and leaving feedback!
Ooh I enjoyed this one a lot! Nice music choice for a chill experience. I like the forced time cap on the clicking segment, something about it made the gameplay loop especially satisfying.
Thank you for the feedback! I’m glad you enjoyed the game.
Fun, relaxing and pretty well made clicker. Well done.

This is a pretty cool clicker game, the visuals are very nice and so is the music and sfxs!
great job!
Thank you for playing the game and leaving feedback!
I never played a clicker game before and I found this one more enjoying that what I thought it was gonna be. Fits very well the theme very well.
Trick: Once you have more than 100 cookies smash the first random option. Is likely for you to win cookies. Once you have a thousand do the same with the second one.
Thank you for the feedback! I’m glad you enjoyed the game.
