Feedback
Summary
Bakers Beat is a casual rhythm/timing game with relaxing music and a quirky concept. While the gameplay and music were generally appreciated, many players found the use of WASD keys unintuitive compared to directional arrows, impacting playability. The game was also criticized for not fitting the jam theme well and for lacking clear timing cues and structure. Suggestions included adding a title screen and improving input prompts for better player understanding.

Lv. 3Great idea for a game. Reminds me of the lowrider missions in GTA: SA. I struggled with playing this. Couldn't get my brain to handle WASD, and I feel like directional prompts would work better, allowing for diagonal inputs (W and D together, for example). I still enjoyed it, though. Good work!

I wasn't sure when I was supposed to be hitting the notes exactly- the timing seemed really strict and it didn't line up with the music very well for me- probably because of my monitor's calibration. I also discovered that you can just press WASD all at the same time on every beat and that counts.

I would recommend two things - first a title screen or something to stop you jumping straight in to the game, I wasn't prepared 😅and secondly, even though it's the WASD keys, people picture them as arrows when playing so using arrow prompts would be easier to understand - that aside this is a silly, quirky entry and I enjoyed icing the random meatballs haha, good job!

Haha, thank you very much! I had a title card made but was trying to put it together last minute and ran out of time due to several issues (one of them being accidentally deleting my game manager 20 minutes before submission lol). Definitely want to come back to this project so will keep your advice in mind!

Doesn't fit the theme super well. Game is very repetitive with no real end or beginning, but the button/beat mechanic is cool and could be used for more projects.

Very fair, the whole thing was supposed to you are baker in one step of the cake assembly line but I don't think that fits the theme enough since it's a bit inconsequential to the gameplay. The beat mechanic was super fun to build though it involved waaaay more math then I was expecting lmao

Thanks! I explained the theme in a comment above but you're definitely right, it's a bit of a stretch for sure.
