How does the game fit the theme?
You need to rescue your biscuit friend who's trapped in a mining accident! But be careful—monsters appear at regular intervals, and the deeper you dig, the more dangerous it gets. Manage your time and distance carefully and dance on the edge of danger!

nice little experience. Definetly biscuit themed. And risk it themed. Good job!
Thank you for playing our game~! :>
this was one of the best games I have played in the jam. very good job!
We're so happy to see you're enjoying the game! :)
Solid game visuals! The first time the croc popped it was kinda without warning! Could use a little something to spice things up a bit since the dig animation gets a little repetitive. Regardless tho Nice work! *this game was live reviewed here: twitch.tv/gratefulllyivory (will post vod after stream)
Thank you so much for playing our game! I just followed your Twitch account and had a great time watching the VOD of your stream. :>
It was super insightful to see your playthrough. To warn of approaching enemies, we used a few cues like changes in the background music, monster roars, a countdown timer, and markers on the progress bar. However, watching your stream made us realize that we should probably add a clear text warning to make it more obvious.
Regarding the mining, there's an upgrade system that might not have been clear enough. After each death or when you hide back at the mine entrance, you get an opportunity to upgrade your mining speed, power, or cart movement speed to give you a constant boost.
Your stream was incredibly helpful in showing us areas where our game design could be improved, and we are so grateful for that! We noticed you didn't get to experience the mining after upgrade, which makes a big difference. If you ever have a spare moment, we would be honored if you'd give it another try. The complete game loop is about 5-10 minutes, and the goal is to win by rescuing your mining friend on the far right.
I see! Glad i was of service :D maybe just adding a little tutorial intro that has a npc that tells you what to do with a small area of like 3 blocks to dig thru would go a long way!
Best game I played in the Jam. Complete game, fun, funny, very very nice. Congratz!
Thank you! We worked really hard to make it feel like a complete experience in a short time. So glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for playing, glad to hear that :)
It looks so cool.
The cool visuals are a tactical distraction from the monster's terrifying appearance. You're welcome and also I'm sorry.
hahaha yeah!
What a fantastic game! Super creative! The idea of mining but having to hide occasionally is really cool.
I confess I let myself get caught by the monster after a while because I was curious to know what it looked like, hahaha.
Congratulations on the game! Everything is very polished! Visuals, audio, everything. Perfectly aligned with the jam's theme.
Haha, I'm so glad you were curious about the monster! I had a lot of fun designing and painting him, so it's awesome to hear that people actually want to see him. Thank you for noticing the polish!
It looks like you figured out the rules before the first loop even ended. Great job! We are so glad you enjoyed the game!
The game looks unique and fits the theme well. The music and sounds are good, and it's nice that there are several levels to upgrade.
Good job! Thank for saving cookie-friend :D
Thank you! I wanted the art to feel unique and cohesive with the mining theme. I'm really happy you liked the visual style and the progression system.
Thanks for the review and for playing the game all the way through!
Mine cart is so useful! Thank you for playing our game~! :>
Nice game
Thank you for playing our game~! :>
I saved my Pal!! I really enjoy this, it was pretty fun cause I always wait until the last moment to escape the monster jaja, i really like the design of the cookies blocks and the ilumination is awesome too. Congratulations this is a really good jam game.
Escaping the monster at the last moment is the core of the 'Risk' in our game! Thanks for playing! :>
I love trying to save your friend in the dark chocolate dungeon. I love theme theme and the colors of the game.
Thank you for playing our game, and glad to hear you love it!! :>
I saved him! I liked it! I got hooked so easily that scares me. I just wish it was a bit harder — like if the monster came at me faster when the time ran out. But overall Nice game!
Thank you so much for playing and for your thoughts! I'm happy you got hooked, that's what we want to see lol,and glad you saved your pal!
I'm glad you like this game. I think I'll make the monster more dramatic! 😺
Happy that I got to save my pal!. The game is really addicting, in a way that made me hope for more levels! Nice game
Thank you for playing! We are so happy to hear you'd be interested in more levels. It's really motivating for us to hear that!
What an incredible game, congratulations! I had a lot of fun, and I really liked the game's core idea
Your comment is so heartwarming, thank you for playing our game~! XD
Really fun take on the theme. I had a couple times where I was trying to run back as fast as I could in the minecart and had a few close calls. The audio and visuals were also really good
That's the most thrilling way to play, right down to the last second! Thanks for playing~!
Fun take on the theme with very nice visuals !
We're so happy to hear that!
It's a very interesting game. I like it!
Thank you for playing! :)
Really fits the theme, gets you wondering if you can mine one more block or if that will lead to your impending doom.
The rat jumpscared the hell out of me the first time it popped up, and while I do think it's a bit too fast compared to the player, it forces you to keep an eye on the clock.
Pretty cool - Marc
Yes, the theme thing is exactly what we were going for! So sorry that the monster scared you, but we have to admit, it's always great to hear that players got a good scare lol. In any case, thanks so much for playing!
