haha... fun! ^^
And same concept as mine ;)

lubos 2013-12-16 19:10

Fun 5/5:)

postmodestie 2013-12-16 19:15

Haha! Very enjoyable!

sebastian 2013-12-16 20:12

Nice idea ;)

torcado194 2013-12-17 01:03

pretty fun concept! seemed kinda lackluster though

robotloveskitty 2013-12-17 01:34

Lovely! I was really bad at sneaking around, but that was all my own fault.

sykotomy 2013-12-17 01:36

I liked this game it was fun to play. It seems like there were pretty long wait times that i couldn't get out of. I spent a lot of time staring at the title. It did make me want a cookie though...

lacutis 2013-12-17 01:41

If you get stuck at the main screen waiting its because the cookie hasn't been clicked. I tried to make that clearer on the webpage after the fact but I wish I had just added a simple press any key to pass the main screen.

zzzev 2013-12-17 03:28

Very fun evading the mom character, quite difficult too! Good stuff.

coinflipgames 2013-12-17 03:45

This game is pretty great! I love the plot and the graphics.

metkis 2013-12-17 08:01

The mother kept getting caught on the wall when I played, but I did like the concept of sneaking past mother to get the cookies and the theme being part of the narrative from the mother. Nice!

lacutis 2013-12-17 08:28

Try refreshing if she gets caught, I'm not sure why she does but I'm trying to make it happen less.
If she gets caught and youd like to play the other levels the update link has bug fixes.

mrtedders 2013-12-17 08:28

That dad is one burly dude. It was a fun concept, just a tad bit slow. Could be fixed by lowering the number of cookies needed to progress.

joserodolfofreitas 2013-12-17 11:01

Nice approach to the theme. It took me sometime to get past the initial screen though.

coblynau 2013-12-17 18:41

May the cookie liberation begin! Nom nom nom. Well done! :)

lorniebear 2013-12-17 19:36

Good idea... I was actually eating cookies as I played it!

kookoon 2013-12-17 21:15

Wow really nice gameplay-
Found a way to distract mommy by let the dog bark. :D

doitle 2013-12-17 22:31

Any chance you could provide a windows distribution for this for those of us that don't have the Unity plugin?

lacutis 2013-12-17 22:43

Yes, I will build it tonight and update the game. I didnt think anyone would want it if I had the web player.

several 2013-12-17 23:12

Kinda cute!
I'd like an easier first level, though.

jellycakes 2013-12-18 01:36

Pretty cool, I liked the stealth aspect of it. Got a little difficult on the second level though. Had fun playing it anyway. Good job.

christinaneofotistou 2013-12-18 01:57

Haha! This is very fun! I started empathizing with the kid, and caught myself thinking that Mom is an asshole for hogging the kitchen to herself, blocking my cookies. And then I saw she was making more and I was oh cool!!! And I went into the living room to hide because I panicked, and then I was like "awww she's bringing me a cookie" and the selfish woman just wanted to eat in in front of the couch! This is my "a life in the day" for this game <3 Top marks for fun!

brotherst 2013-12-18 02:42

nicely put together, can be a little glitchy. I love stealth games and this was a goodun'

lacutis 2013-12-18 04:36

Just so everyone is aware, I did a bunch of bug fixes and put it up as the "Post LD" link. It includes fixes for the parents glitching and not pathfinding properly as well as a change so if you lose in round 2 or 3 it just restarts you on that round. So take a look at the Post LD version! Thanks!

darkcoder 2013-12-18 05:08

I normally don't like stealth games, but it was more fun than I expected. I don't understand the title though, because I have to get more than one cookie?

lacutis 2013-12-18 05:19

The title is from your parents point of you, You only get one cookie. Your mission is to sneak around their tyrannical cookie rule.

lacutis 2013-12-18 05:20

Sorry, point of view. Not you. I'm tired heh.

doitle 2013-12-18 07:05

A pretty simple, but fun game. I was surprised that there were multiple levels also. It might have been nice to add a mechanic so you could lose attention once you've gotten it. I was chased around a few laps of the house by the mother before I finally gave up. I was hoping she'd lose interest and return to the kitchen but no such luck.

lacutis 2013-12-18 08:52

Good point, I had planned on adding other items in the game that could distract the parents like toys you could set off and things but like everyone I ran out of time. I'll keep that in mind when I make changes to it. I considered making it so if you ran back to your bed they would lose interest.

kayelgee 2013-12-19 02:52

This is a pretty funny concept :D
But this game is so hard and the cat seems to be the safest bet :D

stvr 2013-12-19 17:03

Surprisingly tough! The MS Paint graphics are... not great.

undonedevs 2013-12-19 19:38

Nice idea, mum is so fast xD There is too much time while starting another game, but nice job!

gokuhd 2013-12-20 03:44

Very nice idea, nice graphics too. The only thing I think could be better is the waiting time for the mother's behaviour changing but it's good idea.

erebusman 2013-12-20 05:58

Good job. I like the theme and gameplay. I of course wished for a few more places & ways to hide! :D

01rafael 2013-12-22 00:18

what should I do after I get the cookie? ))

lacutis 2013-12-22 00:26

After you get the cookie you take it to your bed and hide (drop it) inside.
Then you do it again till you meet the goal and move to the next level.

bsowers 2013-12-22 03:49

Was interesting, though I wished the mother would eventually lose interest in me after a certain cooldown - once she saw me she never seemed to give up.

fussycashew 2013-12-22 03:56

Loved it! I got lost playing over and over.

lacutis 2013-12-22 04:31

@BSowers: That was a common request, the post compo version she ignores you if you go back to bed.

mortus 2013-12-22 07:37

That's one insane family! I can't get rid of feeling my mother wants to kill me! And I think they love their dog but hate me (dog hates me too!). And the guy still steals cookies from the dog.

It was fun though and I thought about some strange things (like appearing rooms or insta-death on mother contact) as a strange rules in kid's mind for a game he has - steal a cookie. Schematic graphics and sound didn't help me to get into that mood at first though, I thought that my mother was the killer cookie monster with hands first few gameplays for example, and it came to me only on the third level that those little beeping sounds is probably dog's barking and not target-finding radar beeps from my mother-robot-cookie-monster as I thought at first.

Anyway, as I played it more it became quite fun and not frustrating at all.

One time at level 3 I was running from mom and tried to hide in my bed and she stuck in the doorway and never left it so I couldn't leave. I didn't know it was possible to hide in bed at that point though, so I wasn't disappointed.

colapsydo 2013-12-22 11:41

These parents are tyrannic.
I would have expected a little more collaboration from my father but no he is also chasing me. They want the cookies just for them.

hypnohustla 2013-12-22 12:50

I always enjoy stealth games. :) Fun use of theme. The graphics and sounds were not the high point but who cares. :)
And damn those parents are fast :P

loxo 2013-12-22 17:53

Nice atmospheric game with a good concept. Sadly it's not possible to jump right back in after getting caught. And it's not completely clear to me when the mother will catch me. One time I was in the kitchen without a cookie and she ignored me, the next time not.

fenmar 2013-12-22 19:08

I really enjoyed your game :-) Made a Let's Play video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxKt2HA2CHQ

lacutis 2013-12-22 20:58

Hey guys, thanks for the feedback. I will definitely take it into consideration for next time. Sadly, I ran out of time when it came to sound and the dog only barely got added.

@mortus A lot of what you said has already made it into the post compo version. Your parents will leave you alone if you get to bed. I wanted to make the parent drag you back to your room but time constraints prevented it.

@Colapsydo Yeah they kind of are, but at the same time arent most parents from a kids view? "I just want a cookie and my parents wont let me and just want me to go to bed" becomes sort of tyrannical from a kids point of view.

@Hypnohustla Thanks! I intentionally made them faster than you because you are supposed to be a little kid and the parents are supposed to be much larger. I didn't have enough time to really work on the scale the way I wanted.

@loxo Yeah, sorry about sending you back to the start screen after getting caught. I fixed that in the post compo version to allow you to restart right in the same level.

@Fenmar Awesome! can't wait to check it out!

archaeometrician 2013-12-24 23:14

Cool idea ;)

tex-killer 2013-12-31 15:26

Very creative! lol

gameproducer 2014-01-02 20:47

Gameplay is quite familiar. I tried to escape to my bed to avoid penalty but mom chased me... yet she got stuck on the bed. I think I won!

Pretty nice entry.

mtinkerhess 2014-01-05 00:41

Fun! Nice difficulty curve, kind of tricky but not hard enough to rage quit. Nice take on the theme. I like the dog (wagging tail and game mechanic). Could have used more feedback on line of sight of the parents and the dog.
