Nice game, the effects are cool too! The hitbox is a bit hard to get right.

Now this is an awesome game! Loved this a lot, reminded me of games I used to play as kid on something like Miniclip. Great art style, simple and effective! There's actually quite a bit of polish (imo) for a gamejam and thats impressive! Good job to both of you!

Cool VFX, tense sound and atmosphere.

It was kinda hard to grab those biscuits, after playing several minutes I still have no clear idea of how it should be done. Simply clicking on the biscuit as well as on other food does not leads to grabbing them but some random combination of mouse movement for a while and click does. Maybe there is some bug here.

This is great. Quite an accurate depiction of the experience of a working person. I really enjoyed the game, and especially the voicing and sounds. With them, it feels very alive. I can’t make it past day three, though. I was eating cookies like crazy, and I think I ate more than on day 2, but still. Maybe there should be a progress indicator for that matter?

i voiced mr biscuit and it has had adverse effects on my health, absolutely full of biscuits all the time man

It's so fun I love it, cool concept, very unique art style , but grabbing the cookie is weird

I just gained 5000 calories from playing this game

One of the more fun games I've played in this jam so far!!

I think the only thing I had troubles with was where you're able to grab the cookies. It seems like you can only grab at the palm of the hand but not the fingers?

Awesome and addictive gameplay. The audio made me giggle too. It takes a minute to get the hang of grabbing things. Maybe the hitbox for the grab just needs to be slightly bigger but other than that awesome game!

What a Yummy Cookie

Seriously though, this game slaps, the gameplay is so much fun, the voicelines are hilarious (both the boss and the PC). the only small issue i have is that grabbing cookies is a little janky. It sometimes feels as though there is a cooldown

Developer

There is actually a small cooldown of only 0.4~ seconds, for a fast player this could definitely be jarring and it's something i'll look to get adjusted for a full release! 


Thanks so much for playing!

ah that does make sense. It might not be a bad idea to implement a cooldown when you throw away a good cookie or eat a bad one and show it visually, it could add to the gameplay.

but this doesn't remove from how unbelievably fun your game is. My friends and i have been saying "mmm tast the biscuit" and "what a yummy cookie" to each other since we played the game :)

Developer

Great Idea! Certainly something I'll consider as a small punishment for making a mistake!

Game is super fun, you all did so much in this one week, only issue is the grabbing is a bit weird. "Taste the biscuit"/10

Developer

Thanks! I think i'm gonna put a small patch through to adjust the grab location as yes i've heard it can be a little strange so i'll fiddle and see if I can get it feeling good! Thanks for playing! :)

A well put together jam entry! The visuals in particular have a lot of flair and care put into them

Developer

Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed!

Really fun game! At first i struggled to find the right spot to click on the cookies but once I noticed I needed to aim for the upper part my gameplay experience went quite smoothly!

Developer

Thanks for playing! We're glad you enjoyed :)

The controls had a bit of a learning curve at first, but once I got the hang of it, the experience became really smooth and enjoyable! Such a fun game with fantastic design – great job!

Submitted(+1)

This is so funny and clever, although the click boxes are a bit higher than the cookie. Excellent game nevertheless 

Developer

Glad you enjoyed! The hitboxes are deliberately a little large as grabbing with no real cursor is a little jarring. Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

Mmmmm, taste the biscuit...

Fun and simple, yet challenging game, I really liked it!

Keep up the good work!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed! :)

I love the game, the art, everything! And thank you for thinking about the misophonic people! I think this is the best game so far that i've tested! And BiscOS is absolutely hilarious, thank you for making this game actually, i've had a lot of fun! (im glazing this game so bad)

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the game so much really means the world! :)

This reminds me of old flash games back on newgrounds! The graphics and sounds are awesome and disgusting and I love it.

Developer

Thanks for the comment! Glad the art got your skin crawling... In the best way ;)

Took a while to find the right spot to click, to grab the biscuits, but it was kinda fun after that. Pretty impressive visuals for a game jam game! Bit too repetitive to play all levels 

Developer

Really glad you enjoed it in spite of the slight repetetiveness! We had more mechanics we wanted to add but given the time we had to bail on one or two! Thanks for playing! :)

i loved the art style and the idea is pretty simple and engaging , i had only one problem where when i reached day 4 the screen went super yellow making it really hard to play, fits the theme so good tho, well done!

Developer

Glad you liked the game! Is there any other details you could provide when it comes to the yellow screen as I've not encountered it yet! Thanks! :)

im not sure but it might be happening because i pick the yellow biscuit while the camera is looking.

also you might consider fixing the hand placement as it was hard to pick up biscuits at first.
