How does you game fit the theme?
You are not alone. All your friends from the dessert lands are here!
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, expect the music. I own the rights to use the music, but I did not make it.

Good game, could you please rate my game https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-8/rate/1680919 ?
This is a fun game! Lots of fun upgrades, and it felt like a good level of difficulty; I managed to reach level 30. The screen shake is a little too strong, but otherwise the visuals and audio are solid. Great work!
Thank you!
Great game! I love the visuals! The theme implementation was a bit off, but other then that great game! Keep up the good work!
Thank you for playing! :)
Great game! I adore the visuals and the music really fits the theme & feel of the game.
Thanks!
This game was great, i enjoyed it. The characters are awesome. Only thing I would add is a tutorial.
Thank you for playing the game! I will try to add some simple tutorial the first time someone plays the game.
It was very fun to play but a bit easy.
Thank you!
Really good progression with the powerups and different weapons made it fun for the middle levels. Later on the enemies were too few and far between. Nice little game though. I played it far longer than I should have;)
Thanks for playing!
Loved it! Especially the art style. I used pixel art as well. The gameplay was kind of difficult at the beginning but then got gradually easier and easier. But then at the end, it was a bit too easy to absolutely wreck the baddies. Other than that, great game, good potential for future updates and well done!
If you don't mind, could you play and review my game? I need some constructive criticism lol.

Thanks for playing the game! I will try out your game and give you a comment.
Wow this game is amazing. I played for 23 minutes, I wanted to unlock everything to see if I would get that "You Win" payout. Only suggestion would be to make late-game baddies a little tougher, my uber donuts wrecked shop as soon as they were ranked up and only bosses could threaten me. Fantastic jam entry.
Thanks for playing the game! :)
Yes you and many other have said the same thing. I did not have any time to properly balance the game and scale all enemies. The only thing that is different is the time it takes for each enemy to spawn. I will update the game and fix this issue. Donuts.
All in all, the most fun I have had playing a game this jam. My daughters really loved it, too.
Satisfying bullet hell game. Though it was difficult to make out the mobs over some of the background objects.
Thanks for playing the game! I will try to fix this issue when I update the game.
Great game, love the cake massacre as it is both quite and intense at the same time. Also, nice upgrades.
Thanks for playing the game! :)
Note: I played for a prety long time, reached level 30 and killed giant cookie.
Minuses:
- Pixel grid ruins pixel art becuase of the movement and distorts cute faces you were trying to show.
- Too much text in tutorial. I dont think wide audithory would read that. That counts as plus as well, because most games from jack have a lack of any tutorial.
-Some upgrades are more useful than another ones. This is balancing question, i understand that you had only one week, but still. I can survive only on rate of fire and projectiles count, which appear to show each 2nd level up.
Pluses:
- Art and UI. Solid, nice artwork. I can see enemies and player, althought i wouldnt make enemy cookies same sprite.
- Idea. Every game that is food related gives positive vibes, nicely done.
- Feeling. I love the particles and collecting guts part, good ol' topdown shooter.
Overall: Solid entry, i honestly played your game more than any other. Take care!
Thanks for playing and the detailed feedback!
By the pixel grid I tried to hide my horrible art with some displacement of the pixels (simply lower resolution).
I did not expect many people to go in to the upgrade section of the game unless they really wanted to. The game is about exploring different build paths. You are still right, there is a lot of text and I could have implemented some in to the upgrade itself.
The balancing issue was due to time constrains and that I thought the game would be too hard (after play testing and comments on other games I have submitted in other jams) so I made the game too easy for some.
really fun game! Very "20 minutes till dawn" and very addictive.
Thanks for playing!
insane game, super polished and really fun to play, spent a long time playing this lmfao i just wish the player was more distinguished from the background though
Thanks for playing and for the feedback!
Really fun game! Had a bit of a Vampire Survivors feel to it - great job!
Thanks for playing! I took inspiration from Vampire Survivors and 20 Minutes till Dawn.
the art and sounds are really nice i enjoyed a lot! I feel the character was a bit slow however. Otherwise really cool entry!
Thanks for playing and for the feedback!
Really satisfying game loop and visceral feedback effects. Nice job!
Thank you!
I really enjoyed this game! I liked how it felt to shoot and to kill the enemies, and the death explosion animations felt crunchy, very good. Great job!
Thank you for playing!
satisfying
Thanks for playing!
I really liked the vast about of weapons and options you have in this game, and it felt responsive and juicy! only thing is that i would have loved to see the theme more integrated into the gameplay.
Good job!
Thanks for playing and the feedback!
