i really liked the graphics! i will say that the controls confused me and i didn't really understand how i was supposed to get through the level so i kinda just button mashed and made it through lol. either way it was very unique!

Its hard for me to comment too much on this one because I could not get past the first jump. I assume your supposed to jump, throw then teleport? I was not able to do so. I will say that I think IJKL are poor choices for ability controls in a platformer. Something like "Space to jump", "left click to throw if holding", "Left click to push if not holding" and "right click to teleport" would have likely been much smoother. But hard to say without being able play past the 3rd screen. I think you might have a really fun game here once some things are smoothed out.

Im gonna be honest here.


For fun, I'll say 2 stars. I had no idea what to do for most of it, it was kinda buggy, and I think I reached the end without knowing it so i ended up flailing around and giving up. Needs a way better tutorial. Also, imo, the keyboard controls are very weird. You should use space for jump and use the mouse for throwing or smth, or at least let players change controls, but this is just a personal preference.

I'd say 5 stars for originality. I've never seen a game with these kinds of mechanics, and they could be used in really cool ways. Just needs a better tutorial/practice spot to learn them.

For how good the theme was incorporated, 1 star. The game has nothing to do with being lazy, except for you doing all the work for the cookie, in which case, cookies are non-sentient objects and you're basically going by yourself. All you really did is slap what appears to be a face on the cookie, and that's the whole theme of the game in one face. Otherwise, it doesn't really feel alive at all. It's a good game, just doesn't really follow the theme.

Lastly, it's nice to look at, i guess, 4 stars on that. Nice backgrounds and color scheme I guess. I don't really pay too much attention to how a game looks (unless it's impressive like truly) cuz i care more about the play and mechanics and stuff. Also, cool intro too.

All in all, it averages out to 3 stars. Good. 馃憤

pretty interesting throwing and teleporting mechanics!! but took me a while to get used to, also I may have broken the game and not sure if this is intended way of moving around..(probably not)

awesome game intro though.

Heya!

The game concept is kinda unique, expecially throwing and teleport, technique. However, I believe that the theme is not quite correctly incorporated. For me, if the theme was "usable tool" (or companion like in the last jam), thenit would be way better. 
Also, there is a small bug, where you respawn, the cookie is not in your bag. I couldn't pick it up before reaching to the next spawnpoint, but it happened again right after dying. Thanks for understanding my comment, and sorry if I am critiquing!

Thanks for playing! About that bug, tbh I didn鈥檛 found that happening on the game neither in other modes, but about the theme tbh虏 was kinda hard comporate the lazy idea on the game, I was thinking on 2 cookies just rollinaroundinaspeedofsound but yeah, was a weak point on the game

Thanks for being honest, this helps alot on inprovement than simulate that was great
