This was an amazing effort. I was able to do things faster this time around. Balancing the game was much harder this time, considering last time it was almost impossible. I think it's a sweet little game! I solved problems faster kind of impromptu which is one of the best things about the compo of the ludumdare. :) happy daring!
This story is about a boy who is going to steal some cookies!
Not seeing much of the theme here. Sounds more like you're the heroic kid stealing the cookies from the oppressive parental unit that wants you to starve.
Wow, somehow the atmosphere was really creepy. Good music and sound. Graphics probably contributed to that feel as well--retro-looking, not just low-fi. Stomping on bubbled enemies to turn them into drinkable potions was kind of bizarrely surreal, too.
Getting the cookies back to the room was a little challenging at first, since the enemies move in a strange pattern towards it whenever I put it down. I just ran for it on my second and third tries, and succeeded then. I would have liked to use my weapon more rather than relying on my built-up health, but it didn't seem balanced this way.
not bad, has a nice bizarro vibe to it, and the bubble attack is pretty sweet. but could be a lot better. random enemy placement is terrible: they either bunch together in wads of death or start off stuck inside walls. and the minute i got a cookie i was killed by a bullshit stampede of angry cats.
The sound and music was good; really made me uncomfortable! The game is mostly about getting speed powerups and collecting health, it seems, though I died as soon as I reached the mom. :( I didn't have the patience to start over after all that walking! It's possible for dropped cookies to get stuck in walls, which makes the game unwinnable. Fun and weird.
Nice job. Really liked the art and sound. Could use a bit clearer sense of what to do (Took me really long to find out to put the cookies down on the desk in the room). Made it up to where the Mom boss spawns in and brutally murders you. :)
Thanks for all the comments guys! Really makes me smile. :) i'm glad someone discovered the unwinnable wall placement of cookie error. There is also one where you put it on the ground in the bed room and leave the room. that makes it unwinnable. Also, has anyone discovered the secret bug where you get dev settings? ;) My sister found it. I think it's hilarious that those settings are in the game! :O

Cool (and ominous) little game!
I like the lighting effect.
