Took me a bit to understand, but it is a neat little game

Developer (1 edit)

Happy to hear that you could cake it. First it's challanging indeed though it's nice to hear you did not give up imediately. Thank you for your time to play and give feedback :3

The concept it's interesting but it took me sometime to understand, still dont know what was the dog purpose. I tried grab only the right ingredients but  the microwave kept spitting black rocks. I think a tutorial would help, congratulations.

Developer

Thank you for your feedback! I think the ratio of the ingredients might be a bit strict, though otherwise I often had the problem, that I forgot baking soda and/or vanilla which made the cake having a COALiation with the oven...

cute game! it was difficult to get the ratios right so I did feed the dog a lot of charred bread :(

Developer

Thank you! I feel your pressure, just as the dog who now might presses diamonds out offscreen ;) But I'd say you nevertheless did great! Thank you for playing and sharing your experience. :)

Cute but challenging game. I spent the first 5 minutes thinking the dog is competing against me instead of just cleaning up.

Developer

Thank you. Oh no, sounds complicated though actually you can make te dog to somewhat of an opponent when you jump but I get your point. I'm happy to hear, that in the end, you've figured it out.

Fun take on the theme, took me a bit to get it and felt a bit difficult or too strict at times on the portions but nonetheless I had a fun time :)

Developer

I'm happy to hear that you had a fun time, even though it had some challanges. Thank you for playing and sharing your thoughts :3

I like the "catch things, but in the right amount" idea! I just did not really get any further. My cakes, while being visually close to the recipe in ratios, where never good enough. :(

Developer(+1)

I'm sorry to read that the ratio felt too strict to handle, actually we lacked time to balance it more. I'm sure your banana cakes would have been neat to eat! Though thank you for trying and appreciating the idea! :3

Great game, was very difficult off the bat to understand how to play. I played for about 15 minutes before I got the hang of it. The game also fits the theme but didn't really do it in a out of the box way. Great game, I wasn't even able to finish mine, So 10/10 for getting a great looking product for the JAM. Continue to make games, I know with more time this game can be amazing. 

Developer

Thank you for sharing your experience and feedback and espacially for taking your time to get the hang of it. We appreciate the patience! I'm sorry to hear that you couldn't finish yours, but you can be proud you worked on it, took your time and did what you could. A lot of people don't even consider taking part in game jams and even though it's not finished, you got the experience  and I don't know how many people worked on your game but I always find it rewarding to see what one could do in such a short time, because there's often so much more "life" meanwhile Game Jams... Thank you again for playing and sharing your thoughts and have a good time. :))

Very cool concept.

I see most of the people here like the dog just like me, I too vote for the petting next time. Not very easy, and that's a good thing! Well done :)

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much! I vote for "pet the dog" too ;D Happy to hear you enjoyed. :>

I like the visual style, very cute

I'm having some trouble with understanding the requirements for making a proper cake but it's aesthetically pleasing :)

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing and taking your time for the review :>

We're happy to hear that you appreciated the visuals. It's indeed callanging to get the right balance between the ingrediences, but you can do it! :3 With a bit of exercise it's getting easier (I needed 13 min to win, when I played first).

Cute Dog, like the concept! Only thing, it was pretty hard for me, to see what i need since the recipe is on the far right and the "what u have" on the far left :)

Developer

Happy to hear that, also happy that you have some constructive feedback for us! That's some great advice <3

what a cool idea! the windows size was a little buggy on my laptop with firefox. my only wish is that i could have pet the dog.

Developer

Oh, that's good to know, thank you! The next time we implement a dog, we'll remember <3

Love the concept! (also the little charcoal when you mess up the cake lol). Would have liked a sprint button to move around faster. Might also want to put "spacebar to jump" in the description :)

Thank you so much! Especially for your advice! We appreciate the kind and constructive feedback :3
