Loved the gameplay, art and music! I just wish the game used the mouse for placing the blue guys at work instead of relying on character direction. since the player speed is really high, it was hard to place them where I wanted. Other than that, great work!

Countdown CrisisReally well-polished, liked the chaotic pace followed by the strategic tinkering of the building round. I think it'd be good to rebalance some of the profit gains from biscuits vs mulching employees, as I think I was making more money as a morgue than through the actual biscuit business :)

Untitled Cookie GameNeat game. I think it does many things right. Exposition is short and catchy, most of the mechanics are explained clearly and the art, ui and sounds are solidly implemented.
I couldn't get past the second level. I wasn't sure what to do with safety. The game said I needed to keep the profit above the red line, but doing so made the employees die so quickly that I couldn't earn enough money, although it felt like was going as fast as I could. I wish I could've seen more of the game.
Still impressive work and good job!

Black DieThis is a really great entry! The art is great and the game itself feels very polished. I love the concept of combining an optimization factory builder with a fast paced timed minigame section. The dialogue is funny and the gameplay loop is satisfying. I would love to see this expanded upon when the jam is over with some more QOL and level mechanics!

SloplanGreat game! It could have been a pretty repetitive game but the fast-paced, chaotic nature of the gameplay keep it fun and engaging.
Like some other people have said though, the building part of it is not as interesting as the first part. Or maybe it is, but it's just too slow compared to the opening. If you had mouse support for the building part it could have been much faster and so you can get back to exploiting employing your workers quicker.
Very nice writing as well, but I though the font choice is a bit difficult to read. Also on the dialogue box some texts just disappear when you skip it with K, instead of displaying them instantly. So that part didn't work consistently.
Overall a pretty solid entry though. Good job!

Madeleine and BiscuitI really enjoyed your game. It seemed very fast paced but that's probably because I was terrible at it XD. The visuals and the music were great. Overall a very good game. Well done!

Butter SamuraiVery fun game with solid game mechanisms. There's a mix of factory building alongside the rush to replace workers. Beautiful pixel art and also, love the sense of humor!

The Paper ThroneVery funny game, rather difficult too (for me at least haha) But it's really fluid with the transitions between rooms and the drop location snapping to the right spots pretty often. Simple and effective visuals, very fun overall!

SnackrificeThis entry is really solid. The gameplay is really fun and fast paced, and the factory building gamemode interacts with the worker gamemode in such a satisfying way, though I'm a fan of that type of optimization-focused game so it might feel better for me than it does for others. Also, this game is really funny. I feel like the joke of dangerous working conditions in video games has been done to death, but this game does it incredibly well (The joke where you're told to lower the safety level and its already incredibly low made me laugh out loud)

The OddspaceThis was a great game and very fun! I think it'd be nice if there were more things to do during the part where you're switching in and out the employees. Of course, the switching part would have to be made a bit easier, but I think it would add to the overall chaos and fun of the game! Otherwise, great job!!

Trials of the UnbrokenThis is such a brilliant game! I thoroughly enjoyed it, it feels smooth, and it's really creative. This is a 5 star in enjoyment, gameplay, innovation, and theme for me. Best game I have played so far to be honest, and I played like 30. I do have one recommendation, and I might be alone in this opinion so feel free to ignore it, but I find the building part to be both unnecessary and maybe a little detrimental. I say this because I was expecting the game I initially played, and it turned into a different one for a moment. It kinda loses my emersion of the game and slows it down a ton. I know this might hurt to hear, because you did a great job with the building system, I just think for future reference, it's best to stick with the gameplay loop you're looking for, and play on that as many ways as possible. Overall, this is some fantastic work, and from the games I have seen so far, this feels like a winner to me.

Risk it for BiscuitHilarious concept, sharp writing, and surprisingly deep mechanics. The factory layout puzzle had me hooked and stressed.
