How does the game fit the theme?
The game fits the theme “Risk it for the Biscuit” through its roulette system.
Before each wave, players spin a wheel filled with buffs and debuffs. The fewer buff blocks you place, the stronger those buffs become—but at the cost of having more debuff blocks on the wheel.
It’s a deliberate risk: lowering your chances of hitting a buff also amplifies its effect, forcing you to decide whether to play it safe or gamble for a bigger reward. Every spin embodies the tension of risking it all for the biscuit.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

Awesome! I only managed to make it to wave 7 but it was really cool. I think the game could have benefited from having a little larger numbers for the stats and make the changes from the upgrades/downgrades a bit less impactful, since upgrading damage once seemed to make me able to kill most enemies in one hit. Great entry and really fun gameplay!
This game is awesome! It's a very unique concept and clever take on the theme. I had lot's of fun, having to balance the spin allows you for some strategy before leaving it to chance. With some more polish and work I think this game could become a full steam release, keep it up and well done!!
