How does the game fit the theme?
The theme is represented through the idea of taking risks to gain rewards. In Dough or Die, the gingerbread man must run through a dangerous Candyland, risking being destroyed by baking tools in order to collect cookies, gumdrops, and lollipops. The player must constantly decide whether to chase high multipliers or play it safe, which ties directly into the theme of risk versus reward.

Cute game! Really liked the art style! The music was a cute choice. Keep up the good work!
Pretty neat game... I like the technique of randomly placing prefab sections for level design. It ensures a lot of variety. I find it a little hard to grab the cookies though. Perhaps slightly too punishing. One love ❤️❤️
Thanks for commenting! I wanted to emphasize the risk-reward mechanic of the game by putting the cookies and lollipops in positions where you HAVE to take damage, making the player have to choose whether to play it safe and recover hp via gumdrops or take the hits to increase the multipliers.
