How does the game fit the theme?
This online multiplayer game features a wager mechanic where both players must bet on how many cookies they can eat within the time limit. The player who makes the highest wager will win if they can succeed in the challenge, hence risking it for the biscuit.

Additionally, we opted for a "cookie" theme, which we refer to as "biscuits" here in Australia. So it still counts lol.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
> Official Unity packages
> Odin Inspector
> Kenny environmental assets

The multiplayer aspect was really cool—you guys definitely deserve props for that! The graphics were adorable, and I loved the 3D top-down feel. It took me a second to get used to, but overall it was super simple and easy to pick up. I could totally see this working as a fun party minigame, haha.

It is very creative! First time seeing a multiplayer game in a game jam, you guys did awesome. The menu with the shark following your mouse is clever and beautiful. Very well polished game, great job on making this game ^^

didnt get to play because it was multiplayer only :(

Oh no, if you like you can send the game to a friend or family member to play with you. alternatively you may be able to post something in the gmtk discord asking if anyone there would be down to play with you. ive had alot of fun watching my friends play it while in call on discord. If you're still not able to find anyone, feel free to reach out, and we can jump in a game together. ^-^

Not to ride on others thoughts, but the multiplayer aspect was very cool and you guys deserve props for it! The graphic were adorable and I loved the feel of 3D top-down-view. Took a second to get used to it, but overall it was very simple and easy to get a feel for. Could very easily see it as a minigame for a party game setup jajaja.  Putting cookies down automatically every second seemed like it made it easy by just following the players path, but with the different water/land movement speeds it allowed for some cool tactics :)

Thank you so much for playing our game. we really appreciate the kind words. ^-^

This is so cool! I think this is the first multiplayer game I've encountered in this jam. Props to you for putting all of that together in the time frame we had!

Indoor Animal is a team of 2 so we ended up trying this out together. We both love the cookie sharks and their little land waddles so much :)

So lovely to hear that the two of you both gave our game a play together!  I had to learn a lot to get the networking to work with seamless p2p in WebGL, so I appreciate the props . Yeah, Skylar kicked ass with them sharkies! Ty so much for all of the kind words and for both having a play <3

Very well done.  I tried to play against myself with a 2nd incognito window open.  It seems to be very well created, amazing animation and to pull off a multiplayer cookie hide and seek is a really cool innovation.

Developer

Thank you very much for playing our game, twice at the sametime. And leaving the kind words. I'd be happy to vs ya if you did want someone to match with. ^_^
