Very neat! I when you die though the music start to play on top of the music that is already playing - fix that with
if !audio_is_playing(song){
audio_play_sound(song,0,1)
}
Other than that, it was fantastic! Pictures were pretty, felt like battletoads meets my toaster :D
Good game. It was pretty hard though, died a lot!
I liked the "Amiga" tune and overall theme.
Very good graphics.
Small bug when you check the "how to play" section as commented by patvanmackelberg.
Thank you @patvanmackelberg! I can't believe I missed that. Thank you. for the comment :).
@Skoggy. Thanks!!! I died a lot too. hahahhaha.
@Tigris. Thanks a bunch dude. It's fixed now
This game has great charm and the retro graphics are extremely well done!
Really good music ! The game is too hard but funny.
This game is really frickin hard, but I was able to beat it and feel rewarded about doing it.
Nice job on making a hard game that is beatable.
Nice game, cool music!
@PeachPieProductions thanks a bunch!
@adrenalineChallenger thanks. I like the music too :)
@RadioLemon. I'm so happy you beat the game. You understand exactly what i was trying to do.
@codeNMore. Awesome. Thank you for playing!!!
Nice and Hard game
I felt genuinely compelled to keep playing this one. It was really hard and I really wanted to win. I also loved the sprites and the music. I would buy a plushie of that big guy.
Thank you @gene-z
@Daisuke909 I'm glad you felt that way :). About that big guy, me too. hahahahaha
cool
Nice arena shooter with good graphics. My only major complaint is that the hit boxes on the enemies are really big. Usually when you have full range of movement and the characters are rendered like a side view, the hit box is only the bottom half of the each character so that you can walk behind characters when you aren't in plane with them (Look at castle crashers for an example). The issue this brought up was that with the boss if you saw him coming at you from the bottom of the screen, there was a really good chance he was going to hit you regardless of what you did. That said I did finish the game after 4 or 5 tries.
Also as a side note I think I found a but where it you hit "R" while in game it takes you back to the title screen and afterwards the music never plays again even after you press space.
@dalbinblue thats really really helpful. I'm going to create a patch for that. But thanks a ton!!
cute presentation, but frustrating gameplay. A lot of the collisions with enemies feel a little bit unfair. It's easy to get hurt by barely brushing up against a monster - it would be nice if characters had a few pixels of leeway on the borders of their hitboxes.
The other big problem I found was that there was very little real feedback when the player got hurt, which led to a lot of unexpected deaths because I didn't realize when I had taken damage.
Thanks for the feedback @NickMakesGames.
Dark Souls - Confectionery Treat Edition
This is is so hard, I love it! It has great music and I enjoy the look of the sprites. I think the hitboxes on the big toastie monster is too large :( I made a youtube video of me playing it and stuff, talking about what I like/dont like!

Thank you @ashbyte. I going to release an update for the game soon. The video is great!!
I think that the animations are incredible, the graphics and the gameplay, without problems :-) Maybe is too hard but nice work!!
Thank you Mechanic Moon :)
The hitboxes are still rather large for collisions, I feel and the cookies can run through walls. Surreal little title, zool-like retro art.
Great game !
The monster hit box and the fact that you can't shoot down or up side is a bit frustating though.
Pretty hard but I like that :D
I love the sprites! and its bloodly hard! Spent 30 minutes playing and I've only managed to get the boss down to half health before being murdered by homing icecream missiles!
hahahaha. Thanks for the people guys. Shooting up and down is something I'm seriously considering. I think after the compo I will bring this game to life. Complete overhaul
Great sprites and music! It's fun but very difficult to get the timings right. Solid entry.
Cheers @derr
Nice game, but maybe too hard for me.
Cool game, liked your monster and the cookies were cool, very hard to play, would have liked to shoot up and down as well as left and right
Very good entry. At first I was thinking the game was way too difficult but when I learn how to use sprint it was ok. The balance and objectives are well designed. I would have put a cap on the energy ( maybe 20-30 ). Because once you reach 100+ energy you stop worrying about it, and the mechanic is not efficient anymore.
Great insight @Benjamin. I will definitely consider making an adjustment to that for a more polished release. Thank you
Love the artworks! Congrats with the great entry!
Yeah, shooting up and down would be great ^^; It seemed that going diagonally is faster than straight, because I outrun the sweets much easier that way
Other than that it played really well, great animation and music!
Cool game. Cookies are summoned to this world and only monsters can save the... world?
Good job on the game.
Pretty fun game! I liked that running away is your defensive system that has limited fuel. It lead to some really tight situations ideal for these kind of action games.
Personally, I found the graphics to be weakest, specifically when it came to feedback and repetitiveness. For feedback, it was hard to tell when I got hit, and how long I remained invincible after I got hit. Similarly, I think some extra visual feedback when hitting the enemies would have helped. For repetitiveness, the ground and the walls could use a bit of spice. Maybe some chalk drawings, trash cans, or pebbles?
I managed to kill the boss!
Liked how could accelerate and run away.
