I tried downloading the windows version and it gave me an error. Said the game's name may have been changed so the .pck file should be renamed too Untitled.png

I'm getting this when I try to play; Error; Couldn't load project data at path *,*. Is the .pck file missing?

an html version of the game would be appreciated. Its difficult to download a game and play in so many games. IT looks nice from art work prospective.

shugor 2020-04-21 06:31

Untitled.png The art style looks really cute so I was excited to play it, but I got this error on Windows when running the .exe.

Thank you for the feedback! I'm working on MacOS, so it's difficult to test it on windows. But I'll fix it! Thanks. Sure, I'm working on uploading the HTML version as well.

I got the HTML version working great. What an awesome interpretation of the "keep it alive" theme! Had a bit of difficulty understanding the rules but I think I got the hang of it. Also love the music.

evert 2020-04-21 07:53

Great idea! Awesome graphics and audio. Well done :)! I wish there would be a little more feedback when selecting actions (I took a while before I saw the cash & flour numbers change!)

robotsandmuffins 2020-04-21 07:56

Thanks for the feedback! Love your comments! By the way, Windows version is already working. @shugor @frankie-hobbins @poisondart00

Innovative thought but gets repetitive after a while.

literal-games 2020-04-21 18:56

Quite a rush! I enjoyed the theme of this one, although it was a little unclear how the mechanics worked on my first go. On my second go I got 5000!

pusheeneiro 2020-04-21 22:09

Cute graphics.

alphazeba 2020-04-22 08:30

the music was very fitting and the art was adorable! I think i would like to see some juice applied to the buttons though. They felt a bit static. Very good game

sedna 2020-04-22 09:05

Hey! I liked the Theme a lot. I just wish the Instructions were a little more explained!

laurari 2020-04-22 13:30

Hi!!! I like your game!!! Specially the art :heart: The only think I would suggest is that the music only works on one side, so it would be awesome to have stereo xD

robotsandmuffins 2020-04-22 15:45

Thanks @laurari for the bug notification. It is detected and will be solved soon. Thanks for all the great comments!

splitpainter 2020-04-22 16:08

Fast pace with lovely and cute art :D

ponypen 2020-04-22 16:12

Hey! Great idea and LOVE the artwork. Some really nice animations and clean drawings that really make you want to keep playing the game. I wasn't very good at feeding the sourdough so I'm going to play it again and again till I beat my last score haha!

ulcius 2020-04-22 16:12

That's so funny, your post ended with "you need to feed sourdough" reminded me i really need to do so in real life too :D it's been a week! :D Very cool art and lovely game!! I love it when someone comes up with such an unique, yet adequate theme interpretation.

firellon 2020-04-22 16:17

Hey, that's a really nice take on the theme! Enjoyed baking quite a bit :)

Was rather hard to keep it alive though since it ate my dough faster than I managed to produce sourdough and loafs

sndr 2020-04-22 16:21

The idea is quite nice, and I love the sourdough monster!

I think it requires a liiitle bit more of visual feedback cause sometimes I wasn't sure whether I had succeeded at one action or not (then I saw the numbers at the top and it made a bit more of sense). Some balancing might be good too cause the monster is too hungry and it finished all my flour before I could actually bake loafs.

The art is absolutely lovely. The facial expressions of the sourdough monster are to die for! :blush:

fullmontis 2020-04-22 16:24

The presentation is extremely charming! The music only played on my left ear for some reason, and yes, I checked if my headphone jack was all the way in...

I found the game to be a little linear after a while, since there isn't much synergy between the actions you choose. The only interesting part of the gameplay is having to balance feeding the sourdough and using it, but when you have enough flour this gets rather easy too. But maybe I am looking too deep into it, I get the feeling that this should just be an easy and relaxing clicker type game and it succeeds under this aspect, good job!

finn-tr 2020-04-22 16:43

Love the art style!! I enjoyed it a lot! I think it started off a bit fast though but overall really nice game. Great job!

lemonshrimp 2020-04-22 17:12

What a sweet idea :heart: I like the flat-design style and the colors you choose. Even the sourdough monster looks adorable in all of it's forms! Love the happy form the most :two_hearts: Unfortunately I couldn't keep up with the amount of flour the poor sourdough needed. I guess it needs some practice to play it just right. But besides that, I really enjoyed playing it :star2:

robotsandmuffins 2020-04-22 18:10

Thanks for all the comments! We will update it with the bugs detected and difficulty adjusted! Thanks!

maqo12 2020-04-23 11:51

The graphics are really cute :)

tudvari 2020-04-23 13:26

Cool atmosphere, the mechanics could have been much more twisted :smiley: Nice job anyway!

What I didn't like was that the sliding was a bit slow for me. On the web version it got stuck sometime, but on windows version it was just slow. Maybe it was a bug.

And I didn't really know the health of the sourdough. I think that the hearts should be show that, but for some reason it got stuck at one heart, even if I fed 500 flour to the beast, and even his visuals changed to a lovely monster. That may way a bug as well :\

eldogg 2020-04-23 20:05

Fun idea and cool contrast between the bakery and monster. Would be good to have feedback when pressing the buttons. Also the counters being far away from the buttons makes it hard to keep in your eyeline what needs clicking. Thought it was funny that the monster was getting so big it was filling the room in the back.

curleyrach 2020-04-23 21:02

Cool little concept and I really like the art and sounds :) Found it a little hard to tell if the buttons were working at first but I soon got in to it and it was fun to play through. Nice job!

yxmx-rsx 2020-05-09 03:41

fun game I also like the graphics

nurkkacthulhu 2020-05-11 21:01

Amazing graphics, and the core game play was good too! It felt like I got into a good loop, though (or "dough" :^)) I wish something more would have happened. Great game anyway, very nice job!

fawnblue 2020-05-11 21:14

One of the better theme interpretations I've seen this jam - nice job! The graphics were perfect and the style was incredibly strong and consistent. With a bit of development, this could be a really addicting resource management tycoon-style game, which I'm a huge fan of. The main suggestion I have is for more feedback - both visual and auditory. It was sometimes a little hard to understand what was going on. Overall, though, amazing work!

robotsandmuffins 2020-05-11 21:23

Thank you very much for your constructive and positive feedback!! Very appreciated. Every jam we present, we learn a lot! It's great to hear very positive comments from this great community!

fabula-rasa 2020-05-11 22:17

Very cute graphics and a unique take on the theme! Great job on that!

It would be nice to have feedback on pressing the buttons (some light-up of the button you clicked). And maybe get rid of "open door" option altogether. The sourdough monster doesn't seem to scare customers or anything, so it would be more streamlined if our baker would just open the door whenever we chose "feed" and "use" options. Some background music would also add to the atmosphere.
