The sudden minigames remind me of boardgameonline and I'm here for that! Thanks for your submission buddy!

The minigames are well done and the mood feels so celebratory and nostalgic, I love this take on the theme!

Loved the minigames and retro feel of it. Made me think about the awesome arcade games we used to play. The music does get a bit repetitive after a while. Never thought I would be this stressed dodging sweets. Great game and very nicely executed. Happy Game Deving!

I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for playing! :D

Interesting concept but unfortunately I wasn't able to experience it as designed.

I was evading the falling sweets and getting the hirosontally moving cakes. I noticed that the cakes give health when health < 3 but confusingly they also took it away when health === 3. 

I hit a bug where when I am right next to the edge of the screen and there is a cake which comes the game loops and sends infinite cakes. Which allowed me to confirm the observation above.

The game only triggered the rainbow eggs mini game. 

I will wait for your update after the jam to play the whole game.

Good luck!

I'm sorry you weren't able to play the whole game. I'll try to fix the bugs. Thanks for the feedback! :D

Fun minigames! So I wasn't sure if the goal is to collect all the flying objects or to dodge them? It felt like I had infinite lives lol

Developer

The goal id to dodge them, because if you got hit three times by them you lose a layer of the cake, that you win in the minigames. Thanks for the feedback! :D

This was a fun game, the minigame was tough though. I could only beat the time one. I streamed your game, it begins at 58:58. Great job!

I've seen it and it was very fun watching you play hahaha. Thanks for playing! :D

Fun game! Had a little bit of a hard time at first getting how to actually play, but i got it in the end! I liked the minigames, but maybe the lack of timer or indicator for when they happen makes it a little frustrating, especially if you're in a bad spot when they start and get thrown right back there once its over. Still, loved the mood of the game, well done!

I know there are small details that can be improved, but I'll try to fix them for the future. Thanks for the feedback! :D

I like the little disruptions of mini game when you're trying to avoid the items! It keeps you engaged :)

Developer

Thanks for playing and the feedback! :D

Nice integration of the theme! At first I thought collecting the cake pieces was the goal.

Developer

Thanks for playing! :D
