How does the game fit the theme?
You need to Whisk it for the Biscuit! You take a risk exploring the kitchen and activating pentagrams, all to make biscuits.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
The font, some of the sound effects, the paper sprites, and the rainbow shaders.

It's a very neat game and I had a fun time playing it. I think adding like a fog of war or something else to increase the difficulty of the game would be nice.
Shooting with upgrades is really cool! As my suggestion I would add more details to labyrinth.
Thank you for the feedback!
We will think in the future to at least add something in the center area.
Enjoyable game , liked it a lot, quite unique mechanics !
Thank you so much for playing!
Glad you liked it, we put a lot of efforts in this game.
That was actually a really great experience! I really liked the gameplay loop, and especially the final phase, it was amazing and I did not expect that at all. It felt very rewarding. Great job!!
I am happy you enjoyed our game! Thank you for playing!
I tried the mac version, got this error message that it can't be opened because apple cannot check it for malicious software. Sorry.
I understand, no worries. If you still want to give it a try, there is a way to bypass it. Here is the link on how to do it. But if you are worried about receiving malware, I understand if you don't want to force open it. Thank you for trying at least!
Absolutely loved it! The art is so good, the music is too, and I just loved it! Well done!
I'm so glad you enjoyed our game! Thank you very much for playing, and I will be playing your game either in a couple of hours or after I wake up.
Amazing game! I had so much fun being a bouncy whisker. The map is fun to explore, I enjoy the routing finding. The shooting is challenging yet still manageable. Overall a super complete and smooth game experience. Bravo!
Thank you for the compliments! We greatly appreciate them. Thank you for playing!
Wow, great job!
Thank you for playing! I will be playing your game when I wake up tomorrow.
Loved the piping bag gun mechanic, the shooting in this game was really fun. Think it would be cool if the laser felt a little more similar to the gun's gameplay - I can't put my finger on why, but something about it just feels harder to control and a bit more static. Overall though, really liked this entry :)
I see what you mean. We added a delay from when the laser shoots to when the laser activates. And the player is also slowed down a bit when he shoots in god mode. We did this so that god mode wouldn't be too easy, but I guess it would have been better to let the player be more free and just increase enemy count or something like that. Thank you very much for the tip! I will be playing your game shortly!
Great game, gameplay was tight, balance was good, enjoyed the graphics and the music was hectic enough to fit the play style but not too much so it wasn't annoying or distracting. Well done!
Thank you very much for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Played it to the end, loved every second of it! The only issue I had was the start was a bit stale, as there were only a few pentagrams and I was always mving so I was usually far from them.
I feel you there. I personally liked it when it gets a little intense in the beginning by increasing the spawn rate, but many play testers complained that they didn't like being bombarded by enemies so early on, at least, not while the shooting rate is as low as it is. I think what I might try is to increase the movement speed of the demons so you can't just run away from them. Great recommendation. And thank you very much for playing our game! I will be playing your game shortly!
Man, you really know what you're doing! It's a really nice touch to the game that you slow down when shooting XD
// I'm very very bad at navigating maze tho T ^T
Overall, Great game! > v<
Thank you for playing our game! I'm glad you noted the slow-down when shooting.
I got all 5 ingredients and then lost lol. The visuals and gameplay are simple but fun. The control feel nice. I just wish I could see where the player is on the map. Great game.
Thank you very much for playing! Let me tell you a little secret: Go to the Biscuit Alert Main Page, and scroll down to Extras / Accessibility. Try to follow what it says. I promise you, you have not played the full game yet, and the ending is really fun. Let me know if try it out! I will be playing your game shortly.
It was so fun! After finishing the biscuit, I thought it was over—but then I gained the magical power! 😂That was awesome! I enjoyed it a lot, well done!
Hahaha! I am so happy you enjoyed it! Thank you for playing our game, and I will be playing your game shortly.
Oo, that was fun. Good energy to it and it made me laugh. Controls were great. I hope this one does well in the jam. I'll come back to this one.
I am so happy to hear that! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for playing, and I will be playing your game in a little bit.
At first, I was like, ok pretty good maze, nice map to tell me where I should be going, decent motive. Then I collected all the ingredients and the trash cans started piling on me, and then it turned from a maze into a sort of top-down roguelike with wave systems, which was a very good transition from the maze. The machine gun was very fun to use.
Then I get a RAINBOW LASER CANNON, which BREAKS THE MAZE, and suddenly it turns into an objective collecting top-down shooter game, which kind of bends my mind, as the game is supposed to be a maze. Even the laser cannon requires some amount of targeting and skill to use, which makes it less of a victory lap when combined with the numerous enemies.
The simple art really fits with this game, as making good gameplay should be prioritized over fancy art. No complains here. The music is also quite good, as most games didn't focus too much on this aspect.
If I have any complains, it would be that this game doesn't adhere too well to the theme. There isn't really any risk factor in this gameplay of the game, when following the theme tends to be a pretty big part of the game jam.
An excellent game, hope to see more from this team in future game jams.
This makes me so happy to read. You pretty much explained the exact feelings I wanted my player to feel!
To address your one complaint, the way it follows the theme is a bit subtle, but people often change the phrase "Risk it for the Biscuit" to "Whisk it for the Biscuit" (not sure why to be honest). So as a play on words, you are a whisk trying to make biscuits! At the same time, there is a risk in traversing the maze. You don't know where the gates to hell are, and you don't know when they will activate, but to make the biscuits, you have to get the ingredients, risking activating the gates to hell.
I understand if you still don't think this fits the theme enough, though. I just wanted to make sure you get our interpretation for the theme! Thank you very much for playing our game! I will be playing yours shortly.
Its was super fun to play great job.
Thank you for playing our game! I'm happy you enjoyed it. I will be playing your game shortly.
Cool Game
Thank you for playing!
Hello, I clicked on your game, because of the rate for rate comunity post and I am really glad I did. From what I played so far, your game was the most fun! I played a similar game as yours with the same shooting gun, but your game is way deeper and polished. At first I liked how the camera moves according to your mouse and that you are slower while shooting. After I collected all of the ingredients I was surprised by the extanded content of survining which got me really immersed. Having after this another content was just amazing and gave me the satisfaction of getting a reward after searching for all the ingredients. Overall an amazing and fun game!
CTA: I would also really appreciate if you give our game a try!
You have no idea how happy it makes me to read this! Thank you very much for your compliments and for noticing the little details we added to our game. I am happy you enjoyed it as much as you did. I will be playing your game shortly!
I really Whisked it for the Biscuit.
The interpretation of the theme is really funny, and it was pretty fun to navigate the maze while avoiding trash cans. I especially liked the ending with surviving the countdown then turning the tables to hunt the demons.
Hahaha, someone finally caught on to our interpretation of the theme! I'm glad you caught that! Happy you enjoyed it, and thank you for playing our game. I will be playing your game shortly!
