Had to share with this community, I decided for my second game to just rip off the band-aid and I entered a game jam targeted at beginners. I placed 3rd - with 1st and 2nd going to more seasoned game developers. I never imagined that, going in, I would be on the pedestal. I just have to thank everyone that participates in game development and indie gaming as a community - including you, reading this.

    For a jam with almost 100 entries, third place in your first jam is impressive as hell. Nice job!

    EDIT: I think the game bugged? A customer asked for a “crap mix,” but that’s not in the menu.

    EDIT 2: This happens repeatedly and tanks my satisfaction rating :(

      Hi, thank you so much for playing and giving feedback, it means a lot to me <3

      That is not a bug, just a little bit of a mean additional challenge. Look what “C.R.A.P.” might stand for :)

        I feel silly now, lol. I thought item #4 was just “cheerful” and that the things below it were different items that would unlock later.
