How does the game fit the theme?
All about fighting biscuits (british biscuits, so cookies, since that was more fun). You score points with dice using combinations of various baking ingredients instead of numbers.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Practically everything was made from scratch during the jam (design, code, animation, sfx, music, etc.). Only a few free fonts were used as stock. Team of 2, but we had 2 other friends record some foley on the last day.

I like this game's twist on poker! It's a more accessible version of the classic poker that comes installed on WindowsXP, featuring cute cookie-characters. I had the hang of beating my opponents semi-quickly, and reached round 10... My only gripe is I wish there wasn't a cooldown on the types of hands you could score... But that's it. A cute experience!
Cool game! I would need a tutorial level, but after I few tries I understood it.
I like the different combinations and unlocks you can get!
Thank you so much for trying our game and for the feedback! I think we will try to implement a tutorial after the game jam. :)
Super ! It was a really fun game, I liked it! The art fits really well and the difficulty is well balanced, well done ! :)
Thank you so much for trying our game and the kind words! We appreciate it! :)
I like the idea but I feel like a tutorial is really needed, because even after reading the stuff on the itch page, I wasn't sure how everything worked or how I could consistently get good scores. However from what I got, I do like the core concept, and the art and music are both great!
Thank you so much for trying our game and the feedback! We want to add an in game tutorial after the game jam is over. :) Thank you so much for the kind words!
Pretty cool idea, a bit confusing, and I feel it is mostly pure rng... I didn't fully get it how can I consistently defeat the first cookie... I get it that I have to make combos to get a good score, but I just don't know how to consistently do it.... The visuals are pretty nice, the sounds effects are pretty good and the music is good as well. I did found a bug where the cards would stack together, at first I thought it was a feature, as two chocolate cards stacked, but then I tried doing it and it did nothing, then a chocolate and an egg card stacked, then I knew for sure it was a bug xD.
Overall, cool game, has some potential if more fleshout!
Really solid! Yahtzee’s a great idea for “risk it for the biscuit” and the theming is cool. The rolling sound sounded exactly like some someone trying to slurp up the last drops of soda through ice at the bottom of their cup, which got a little aggravating. I wish you’d been able to spin it into something more than just “beat a target score that keeps increasing every few rounds,” but there’s a really solid foundation here to build on. Good work! :)
That was really amazing. It was so fun and the art was amazing. My score was 4,680. One of my favorite games so far! Excellent Job!
Cool game. I really like the biscuit theming and it's fun rolling the dice to try and get more points. The cooldown mechanic is also a very creative way to add some more depth to your decisions.
Thank you so much for trying out our game! We appreciate the kind words and feedback! The cooldown mechanic does add a bit more strategy. :)
Fun game, music is a bop!
Suggestion: Dont make the biscuits so delicious looking, had to go to the store 3 times in one play session to restock
Thanks for playing! I appreciate the comments on the music - I was definitely trying to make a bop :)
Hopefully, the store biscuits were good. I feel like they should cut us in on the profits for the free biscuit advertisement
It's a very cool and sweet game, but I still couldn't win :(
I liked the art style and game mechanics, it wasn't clear to me at first, but I read the tutorial and figured it out!
Thank you! Yeah an in-game tutorial was one of the things we ended up not having time for. I'm glad you were able to figure it out - the game is pretty luck based, once you get some big scores early on, you can get pretty far before the scaling catches back up
Hey! I really enjoyed this game, and played it for quite some time.
I've never played Yahtzee or any of the other games you mentioned on your page, so I don't know how similar this is, but this game seemed very balanced (which is AWESOME). I played for about 40 mins and only obtained the MATCH-5 two times. Both times felt super rewarding and lucky.
I think this jam encompassed the "theme" stronger than any other game I've played, from both the artistic perspective and the gameplay mechanics.
My favorite recipes were the Score Full House and the Score Straight because they allowed for really cheap ingredients (sugar/flour) to bring in a lot of high value.
Minor Feedback
Possible Suggestions
1. I loved the game, the art, the audio, and the gameplay loop. Everything was great and even mostly balanced! That said, the main suggestion I'd have for the game is more "juiciness" (a term that sounds kinda gross to me, haha). I linked a cool article about it:
I think if the sound effects were improved, the anticipation built up with each roll, and there was a visual and audible feedback when the player gets a high score, it would feel even better.
That said, I'm sure you guys had more things you wanted to add, but it's hard to do in one week :p
2. It'd be cool if you can leave an ingredient on the table for the next round (especially for situations when additional ingredients won't give you extra points).
Anyway, thanks for also rating our game and wishing you the best of luck on the jam!
Thank you so much for taking the time to play our game and provide such detailed feedback! The Ui/tutorial section is definitely a weaker point in the game, particularly if you don’t have familiarity with other dice based games. That is certainly something we would like to improve on in a future iteration (outside of the game jam)! Also love the feedback/suggestion to improve the game’s “juiciness” (And thank you for linking the article too). This game was our first Game Jam and we have been learning a lot. Feedback like this is invaluable so thank you for taking so much time to invest back into the community, it is greatly appreciated!
Really cool game! I was really getting into it and I love the idea of the rerolls and the cooldowns for the points you can earn. Also the visuals were amazing!!!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed our little game! :)
Really nice game, it was like a variation of yahtzee.
Was fun to play it, with the incrementing counter, love the graphics too.
It would have probably need a little more time to adjust the parameter, like the cooldown, and so on, but it was fun nonetheless !
Keep the good work !
Thank you so much for trying out our game and all the feedback, much appreciated! :)
Cool game with a really nice art style! I like the concept of scoring sets of dice as it's a nice mix of tactics and randomness
Thank you so much for giving our game a try, glad you enjoyed it! :)
I loved the art and it was fun to play. ^^ Round 2 - 1430 was my best. :D
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :) Early levels can be tricky before you build up a buffer, 1430 is good!
Fantastic arts! The whole scene is cute and warm, while the mechanism gives it a kick of gamble thrill. Fits the theme se well. Bravo!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed our game! :)
Nice strategy game! I loved the art!
Thank you so much! :)
As a Brit I fully endorse the use of Jammy Dodgers! Love the concept. The gameplay is easy to figure out, the music is cute and the art is wonderful. Great work!
Thank you so much for the kind words! The Jammy Dodgers are immediately what I pictured when I thought of British biscuits so I greatly appreciate the endorsement!
Really cute take on the theme!
Thank you so much!
Love the art style and cool take on the them and yazhee. Great work on your jam entry I had fun playin :-)
Thank you so much for playing! :)
