How does the game fit the theme?
You have to take risks to complete the levels faster, which gives more biscuits that you can then risk betting on your performance on the next level.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Some of the sprites and music are from previously purchased Humble Bundles.

Yeah this is an awesome game! Controls were a little getting used to but worked well once I got the hang of it!
What an awesome game! It starts out as a fun puzzle game, but with each level, the risks and stakes get higher. I like it, even the scary skull representing Death. Poor dog, haha!
Excellent setup pitting the player against their own avarice. Most of the levels would be no problem if I took my time with things, but trying to get to slick with my bets usually involved me losing out on all of them.
I also thought is was pretty neat how the pathways evolve from a pure platformer setup into a partial puzzle setup. The constraint on jump direction forces the player to stop and take a look or else risk skunking their run in a dead end.
good visuals.
LET'S GO GAMBLIIING!!
Way too addicting cookie gambling game.
Gave up when I lost 14000 cookies in one go - nearly got a heart attack.
Interestingly, my friend didn't even bother voting when they played - they just wanted to complete the level.
Betsy is a cutie! The game is fun and fairly difficult. I loved the gameplay, and the system there you bet on the outcome of your run is really cool.
Cool game! The music was great and reminded me of another game I enjoyed. The pathfinding was my favorite part, and combining that with the betting made the gameplay feel both intense and frustrating. The time trial was a bit difficult for me, so I stuck with no-death runs when betting. All in all, I really enjoyed the game and would love to see the puzzles and challenges expanded on!
I really enjoyed this little game! Between the atmosphere, the dog, and the difficulty, really well done for the quality of the game :) Congratulations! :)
I really enjoyed this game.
Oooooohhh I love it. The gameplay is awsome, I especially like the jump mechanic. My only "complain" is about the gambling screen: I think you don't need both "Risk your biscuits" and "biscuit bets" title, together they're a bit overwhelming. But everything's fun, "simple" but effective and I burst out laughing when I read "Betsy has a gambling addiction". Well done <3.
I like it, it's simple but fun! Also live Betsy why won't you choose to live 😞
Very fun! I bet that betting-on-performance mechanic could start a whole Betsy-like genre :)
Really fun game I like the risking the biscuit aspect with biscuit bets really fun gameplay and innovative mechnic. I kept falling in the water alot also didnt know that i could hold space for longer jumps otherwise really good stuff mate!
I'm loving all the dog games! Really cute! Nice art overall and the music gives it a chill vibe. I just found the controls hard to get used to. The sprint was too fast I'd just die if I used it. And I kept forgetting that turning moves, so I kept falling in the water :'D Good game though! Good work ^^
I like the chill vibe and the movement was a little hard to get used to!
I really liked the music and art of the game! I kept forgetting that turning moves you as well XD Very fun game!
The different movement concept brings challenge and gambling on performance is fun. I lost my biscuit many times, I might be besty myself
Great game so fun and great use of the theme. Oh Betsy we love your gambling problems!
