Very cool idea. No idea what I was doing the entire time. lol. Defiantly needs a tutorial if you make this into a full game. But I enjoyed myself. I like the combo of a platformer with those chef games.

Brackeys Game Jam 2025 - A Maze In Mouse - Roguelike

LekoTopazDeveloper1 year ago

Guess a giant message on the description is still not enough XD

We will make the tutorial integrated but skippable in the future in our full release

Foolish Me StudiosSubmitted1 year ago (1 edit)

lol I completely missed that. But to be fair to myself, I just hopped right into the game cuz I wanted to play. Which is a compliment lol

Loved the graphics and the gameplay for a while, everything was super charming and cute!

You’ve got some great audio going on there - the music and sound effects are really nice. One thing to work on is the movement, maybe add a bit of a delay to it (jump buffer) and some time for the character to recover from jumps (coyote time). Good job.

I did not know the concept of coyote time so TIL. Thank you for the suggestion. We sure will look into implementing it.

Game is fantastic! I would love to see it being made into a full game. Soundtrack is really good! And the tutorial, tbh is a very cozy experience I'd like to see being turned into a risk-free game mode or smth.

However, sometimes the pick-up items mechanic felt a bit frustrating. Could be a skill issue tho :)

Also, I think it's a bug (or maybe intentional?) walking backwards doesn't flip the sprite.

GOOD JOB!

This was such a charming and surprisingly deep little game! At first glance, the cozy pixel art and upbeat music immediately pulled me in...it has that inviting, polished look that makes you want to stay a while. Once I started playing though, I realized there’s actually quite a lot going on beneath the surface.

The loop of gathering, preparing, and then frantically throwing the baked goods is both fun and stressful in the best way. It’s one of those mechanics that feels chaotic at first, but then you start to get a rhythm, and that’s when it really clicks. I especially enjoyed how the throwing system adds this layer of risk. Sometimes it feels like a perfect shot is the difference between a smooth run and total disaster. It gives the game a great balance between cozy vibes and frantic kitchen energy.

That said, there were a couple of moments where I struggled to keep track of exactly what was already on the table versus what was missing. Some kind of clearer visual cue or indicator would make it easier to manage the flow without breaking immersion. The pacing also gets pretty intense when orders pile up. Fun in short bursts, but maybe a gentle ramp-up in difficulty would make the early stages feel more welcoming.

For a jam game though, this is honestly super impressive. The polish in the art and audio makes it feel like a finished product, and the core gameplay loop is strong enough that I could see this expanded into something bigger. Multiple stages, different types of customers with quirks, or even a co-op/competitive mode could push this into something really special.

Overall, Cloud Top Bakery left me smiling and a little sweaty, which is exactly the right mix for a game like this. A really memorable entry. Fantastic job!

Thanks for your detailed feedback. We’ll be looking into creating a smoother experience in terms of difficulty curve by implementing integrated tutorials and a more gradual introduction of mechanisms, plus adjustments on the order timers. And yes multiplayer pvp/coop has been mentioned a lot and they’ll definitely be in our to do list.

Back in Biskits - Game Jam Edition

TheMagnatSubmitted1 year ago(+1)

Well made cute little game, everything is well integrated and I had some hard time at start to survive, once I understanded well the optimal path I had a fun time on it :)

Even too I just got killed by the bees instead of failing the commands ahah

Super game for a 2 person team, and tbh even if it was 4 people it would still be amazing. Loved the gameplay, but maybe I would just add a small visual tutorial for the recipes, since I needed the first run to learn to cook.

Submitted

sootycatSubmitted1 year ago(+1)

Super cute pixel art and loved how one collects butter :) I missed the tutorial initially - think maybe if it was first in the list, it would be a bit more obvious. Also sometimes things got very cluttered, wish there was maybe a storage chest or a despawn timer on drops. Really fun game though, and very polished.

Untitled Cookie Game

Duck In DisguiseSubmitted1 year ago(+1)

Sound design and art is top notch! Really need to stress on getting all the ingredients in one place. Maybe some ui popup for whats missing at the table since its hard to see what exactly you have placed. Other then that good job I had a fun time.

The Search for Eternity

WoodlandCatDevSubmitted1 year ago(+1)

This game rules! Everything contributes to the vibe perfectly, what excellent pixel art, maybe if I had multiple months I'd be able to recreate it but this quality in this little time is insane, every animation is so perfect, the bee's squash and stretch is so satisfying to watch! The throwing is such a great idea, it really adds to the gameplay in how you have to arrange things but also the last second clutches you can do, which I manged to throw a cookie in the last 2 seconds lol. Even if you didn't make the music it was a great fit none the less, giving me Tunic vibes with that comforting nostalgia. Everything is executed so well here and what incredible banner/main menu art. From what I tested in the tutorial I suggest you put a limit on how many bee's can spawn from one nest, as when you have around 80 bees shooting at you the audio starts breaking a little lol. Just such good work, this deserves to be in the top 10!

SUPER TREAT SCHLORPER

t3snakeSubmitted1 year ago

Very charming, beautiful animations.

The only feedback I could give is to have an interactive tutorial instead of reading.

I understand that is not possible during a jam without cutting out more important things.

Congrats on really polished game and art style.

Submitted

LekoTopazDeveloper1 year ago

The tutorial is in fact interactive. It's not integrated but it is playable. But yeah I agree we need to work on a more user-friendly tutorial system. Thanks for the feedback!

t3snakeSubmitted1 year ago

Ohh I see, If it was interactive I would expect it to not be a separate option but part of the play button with skip option to skip the tutorial.

I realized I always assume a separate tutorial to be a wall of text, in this case I assumed wrong.

MefazerSubmitted1 year ago

Such a charming game! All the mechanics work as expected, everything feels polished and well though of. Even with the tutorial it took me a while to get a grasp of what I need to do, so maybe improve the onboarding experience, but other than that it's a great cozy game with great graphics and audio. Way to go!
