Waffle (GameDev.TV Jam 2022)
CONTROLS: Arrow Keys
This is my submission for GameDev.TV Jam 2022.
Wally Waffles has dreams.
Not worthwhile dreams, but they are his. To chase after them, he needs his trusty tools.
The mighty bacon which slew many hearts.
The loyal bunch of bananas. When thrown, would always magically came back.
And bread.
With these deceitful items, Wally will enter the fortress of toaster and save the princess. It's just a little warm in here. Can someone turn down the temperature?
My first Jam and first Unity game built on my own. Just finished the Unity 2D course several days ago. Kept the game simple so that I could complete it. Learned a lot through all the mistakes I made. If I have the time before the jam is over, I will add more levels.
The jam theme is "DEATH IS ONLY THE BEGINNING!".
I had a few ideas bouncing around and they kept transforming. Settled with a simple game similar to Adventures of Lolo and other block pushing games. You control waffles that try to make it to the toaster. To activate the toaster, the waffle must collect the three breakfast items. Once collected, the waffle will need to get to the toaster, jump in and get burnt! Not the best application of the theme, but it's my first game and I really wanted to finish it given my green skills.
Enjoy! Any criticisms, advice or comments are welcome.

Waffle Over! Clever puzzles that aren't too difficult. The first time through I got almost all the way through level ten and trapped myself, it was disheartening but I came back today to finish it off! It can be difficult at times to get through an area without accidentally nudging the wrong block by mistake and needing a restart, but otherwise it controls great.
A very interesting and slightly addictive game! The music and artwork work together very nicely. The puzzles were great! Level 10 was a tad difficult, but not to the point where you become lost. Good job :)
I really enjoyed the game. I like how the toaster is set to burn whereas I don't like burnt (fun burnt, not in a bad way). The waffle animation is cute as well as funny.
Great job on the game :) :)
Unique take on the theme! The precision of having to get the blocks not quite lined up with the squares was a little annoying to my OC side, to be honest, but I appreciate the smoothness of the controls. Awesome work!
Good game. I like the puzzles.
Cool game! Had fun playing the puzzles, good controls, nice kind of tutorial levels to learn new game dynamics. Great game congrats
We got to level 11! great stuff, enjoyed playing and felt the music wasn't irritating as it can be with some repetitive music.
Thanks!
Took a long time to find the music.
Nice work! Playing this game was really fun and really got me thinking.
The idea of getting waffle burnt by the toaster is a very unique take of the theme. I also liked the game mechanics. It was fun moving the blocks and using keys to unlock doors. It felt adventurous and kept me engaged. Thanks for the awesome experience and best of luck!
Thanks for the kind words.
You bet!
Got stuck on Level 10, nicely done.
Perhaps give people a secret code after completing each level so they can go straight back to the last one?
Haha, yeah I was thinking about that as well. I think the old NES games used to do that for games like this. I might do that if I have the time. I'm kinda itching to dive into another Unity course though... We'll see.
Thanks for the suggestion.
cheers
