A neat game. The very basic cereal wasn't very interesting, since they were giving me so little point. And then I figured out how the shop worked and got addicted. The risk mechanism is light but very enjoyable, enough to keep you guessing which path would be the best. Easily a game where hours could be lost!

I spent a surprising  amount of time playing this game. Was a little confusing to start, but once I got the hang of it I wanted to replace all my Depressios, and that was a victory to me. Good Job! 🤗

It's fun idea, was a little confusing at first but was unique!

This was a really funny and unique concept. The idea of collecting cereal with a spoon was both clever and entertaining. The variety of cereals was impressive and kept things feeling fresh. I also appreciated the unique control scheme and the smooth UI animations, which added to the overall polish.

The numbers progression felt rewarding, and the addition of toys was a delightful touch that added more charm to the experience. I also got a kick out of feeling like I was eating the same cereal again and again. That repetition worked well in the context of the game.

A couple of small suggestions: having an option to bulk-select cereals for removal could streamline the experience, and being able to preview the value of a cereal before adding it might help with planning. A bit more visual feedback on the spoon’s travel direction would also help improve control clarity. At times, the spoon was a little hard to control, which made movement feel slightly tricky, but it didn’t take away from the fun.

Great job on a creative and enjoyable entry.

Nice game!

I liked the relaxed mood while playing and spooning away. I bought an extra bag but never got the new types into my bowl. I think the individual values shown are illegible against the milk. Maybe some simple outline could solve that. I'm unsure if it was intended but I found it weird that you kind of have to aim twice, first to select the location and then the angle. I was totally expecting just the location and the angle provided there.

Good job!

I really enjoyed playing this. i could definetly see northerlion make a series playing this game if its polished. but the concept and loop is there good job.

Submitted

I got stuck in the store for a while before I found out what to click haha PANIC

Submitted

Pretty interesting idea but I don't really see the risking part of the game. It's kind of like those clicker game but you need to scoop up the cereal using your spoon which differentiate itself from those typical clicker game. The UI for sure need some improvement but I really like how each object is just looking at your cursor whenever you move the cursor. The layout of the UI is fine but just too bland for me as they are just rectangles with different colors, maybe you can use different sprites for each buttons and panels. Overall, interesting game!

Submitted
