A very unique take on the theme. I enjoyed the mechanics and the visuals are nice and simple. well done!

This was a clever little game that really made me think about each and every single pickup — I liked how choices carried real consequences and i definitely set my self up XD. The overall vibe felt nostalgic in a good way and reminded me of old school flash games, and the music matched nicely. Only downside was the setup hurdle; a smoother launch would make it much easier to jump into as no one uses Java oracle and all that stuff unless they are a Java developer or if they Play Minecraft :)
also wanted to if you used an engine to make it or if its Purely based off java because if you amd ethis from scratch on Java then that puts the game in a whole new light as making a game in java purely in crazy, or if it was just a building problem so i required java. I'm quite curious regarding this as I've never ever heard of a Game Getting exported r built outside of java in a Way that it requires Java to run?

Rated: 7.5/10 (might increase it in the future)
XD

Idk if this's meant to happen, but I couldn't try out the game ;<

(It's asset dumping me and pops up that the game requires Java environment

We fucked up on the exporting part, so it requires jre to run. Apologies for that. Thanks for taking the time to try it!

Would have loved to see some faster click and play since everyone here wants to play 5-10 minutes per game and if it gets it will just close it and to an other one. Other than that really like the design levels

Thanks for the feedback hnix! Thanks for taking the time to play!

Really clever little platformer! I love how the more ingredients you grab, the more time it costs you, and that trap items can slow you down. It gives every decision real weight. The unique-biscuit crafting adds a fun layer of replayability, too.

It reminded me of an old-school browser platformer with a nice soundtrack. One thing to note: the Java runtime requirement (JRE 24) was a hurdle for some players. Having a clearer download process or a browser version could make it more inviting to try.

Super impressive for a jam entry. Solid mechanics, charming concept, and thoughtful design.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback pixigb. Glad you enjoyed the game!

Regarding the java runtime environment thing, we forgot to consider it at all, until someone told this was the issue. We'll be more careful in the future jams.

Thanks for taking the time to play it!

Went ahead and downloaded the java thing to give it a go.

Old-style browser platformer with a nice track to it. Only missed 2 flour.

Definitely watch out for the download requirement in the future. It'd be a shame for a game to be dismissed because of such things.

Developer

much appreciated! thanks for taking the time to play it, we were so focused in finishing the game in time,  we didn't think about the download requirements at all, we'll improve on that in the next game jams!

I get the same thing as the guy below me
