Really fun game, I like the pancakes and how they chase you and the map is really nice too and when you first load in and its dark and you hear something coming for you it get a bit scary, then you realize that they are pancakes xD, 

Also the problem you had with your mouse can be fixed easily, just make a script that runs at the start of each scene and put this in and it will disable the cursor and lock it to the center

  Cursor.visible = false;
  Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;

then when you want to show the cursor again you can use this

Cursor.visible = true;
Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.None;

But really great game and im looking forward to your future work :)

Super silly I like it, took awhile to beat. I enjoyed the noises and pancakes :)

This game was ridiculous in the best way possible. I didn't really know what was going on, partly because some of the instructions were unclear and partly because the UI didn't correctly scale with the window size, but regardless this game was hilarious and fun. The controls could have been better too; the mouse control didn't feel right. Also I don't like how the little pancakes die in one hit, at first I wasn't sure if I could kill them because I was shooting them and nothing was happening. The story was ridiculous and funny though, and the voice overs were so great. 🎂

reaally fun idea with the voice over, was too laggy for em to play. dont make it a browser game. that makes it way too laggy. i think u shouldve made it more dark. the challenge of the game shouldve been more with how dark it is not with how many enemies there were. nice art so thats why i rated the way i did

design 2 stars

graphics 3 stars

audio 4 stars

originality 2 stars

theme 3 stars.

UI and Lighting are still slightly wonky at times from the Port to HTML. Added in a cursor lock and respawn screen after getting some feedback and republished but the UI is too small and the audio no longer silences on death as it did in the Unity editor. Regardless I'm so happy to have my first game and jam under my belt. The games far from perfect but I'm proud of how much I've learned and had a great time making it (especially recording my family to make the in game sounds)
