Very cute game, spamming the scratch button was very fun. My only critique is that I got both the loss and win screen at the same time somehow? Not exactly sure what happened but I assume that my final click both ended the game and got me caught at the same time. Still, I really liked your game!

How does the game fit the theme?
Every scratch is a gamble, keep scratching to earn more biscuits, but one mistimed scratch while the owner is watching and it’s all over.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

Gumball GambleNice idea and well executed, although some form of indicator before the owner turns would be nice. At the moment getting caught often feels random and not because you haven't been careful. I got caught for scratching once because the owner turned away and immediately back.

Risk it for the Olden Heaven (demo)Pretty simple concept. I wish there was more of an indicator for when the owner was going to turn around. Something like tapping their foot or moving their head. That would make me want to risk more hoping I could catch the movement and stop scratching in time. Right now it just seems random and the biggest payoff is to do one scratch as soon as they turn around. I did not encounter any bugs that I could discern. Good entry!

Best BoyHahahahaha my cat surely would give this a 10000/10. Loved! A leaderboard would be awesome, wanna see who scratched more times the crouch

Gamb BizkitHAD A BLAST!
I think it would be really funny if at the end after you won, the owner got all upset. lol

OPERATION CRUMBLEAs a cat owner myself, it does exactly what the game does! Would be good if i can move the cat around to scratch more stuff! Good job!

Last Day of WorkI love the idea! Pretty pixel as well.
But I found it too easy to beat. Maybe add more patterns on owner move. More psychological tricks perhaps. Also could be fun to add more dynamics to the game like owner is moving or sometimes her husband is showing up to help, haha.
Also stylize the UI for pixel art as well.
Overall, well done!

Biscuit GambleCute game! But I would add "invincibility window" when the owner turns around, so the player would have some time to react. Other than that pretty nice game!

Baking BadSo this is your condition? Haha classic and lovely. How you develop the game with such a feedback that made each move is enjoyable. great game!

Bento BrawlClassic idea :) I really like the idea of the cat making biscuits by scratching on the couch. I think some more tweaking would help a lot! There were some times when I got caught but visually I couldn't even process that the owner turned around. A really short deadzone time of a few milliseconds would help or some visual or sound cue would do wonders!
