The next build of Gobbo's Cookie Run will take a little while longer. Most if not all platform configurations will need to be changed to accommodate a new feature involving a certain crab from @jocat.net's subathon and his favourite food: fried potato pieces.
A large-headed green goblin stands on one of many grey platforms floating above the grassy ground. The platforms are arranged in eight lines of three. Chocolate chip cookies float above four of the platforms in the center of their respective lines and a red and white striped bucket filled with fried potato pieces (similar to tater tots) hovers above another such platform. A crab with a dagger in its left claw scuttles across one line of platforms. High above the platforms is a fairy with brown hair tied in a neat bun and wearing a red top, skirt, and shoes. In the top-left corner of the image are four lines of text. The first line reads: "Cookies ..."; the second line reads: "... on hand: 30"; the third line reads: "... stored: 0"; the fourth line reads: "Damage: 0%".

Update: Second set of timed platforms, bonuses if you collect enough cookies in a row without touching the ground, penalties if you collect too few, enemy knockback scales with how many times you get hurt, reworked platform generation, and updated help section.

Lots of black particles rise from the grassy ground, obscuring some of the grass. Above these particles are many platforms, as well as dashed outlines shaped like platforms with coloured bars inside them that look like miniature platforms. Some platforms are yellow while others are light blue, and the same is true of the coloured bars inside the dashed outlines. The platforms and dashed outlines are arranged in horizontal lines of two and each pair arranged like this is identical. The pairs themselves are arranged in a diamond lattice formation. Chocolate chip cookies hover above two of the dashed outlines with yellow bars inside and one floats below one of the light blue platforms. High above the platforms is a fairy with brown hair tied in a neat bun and wearing a red top, skirt, and shoes, as well as a large-headed green goblin jumping from one of the topmost platforms to another. In the top-left corner of the image are four lines of text. The first line reads: "Cookies ..."; the second line reads: "... on hand: 76"; the third line reads: "... stored: 320"; the fourth line reads: "Damage: 40%".

Update: Added timed platforms that appear and disappear at regular intervals, tweaked and added some platform configurations, and adjusted Gobbo's movement to make jumping off of edges easier.

A large-headed green goblin stands on one of two grey platforms floating next to each other above the grassy ground. Three yellow platforms and two sets of dashed outlines shaped like platforms also hover above the ground further to the right, alternating between yellow platform and dashed outline. Chocolate chip cookies float above the yellow platforms and the dashed outlines. High above the platforms is a fairy with brown hair tied in a neat bun and wearing a red top, skirt, and shoes. In the top-left corner of the image are four lines of text. The first line reads: "Cookies ..."; the second line reads: "... conjured: 20"; the third line reads: "... on hand: 15"; the fourth line reads: "... stored: 0".

Update: Increased the height of the game window to allow for taller platform configurations, spawned cookies can now only be collected once they stop falling, and added an enemy that you might recognise if you watched the Gobboventures series by @jocat.net

A large-headed green goblin stands on one of several grey platforms floating above the grassy ground. The platforms are arranged in lines of three to six, and chocolate chip cookies float above three of the platforms. Next one of the cookies is a tall orc warrior woman holding an axe. Flying above and to the right of the goblin is a grey rock, the front of which has a piece of paper with an angry face drawn on it and the back of which has a light brown propellor spinning. High above the platforms is a fairy with brown hair tied in a neat bun and wearing a red top, skirt, and shoes. In the top-left corner of the image are four lines of text. The first line reads: "Cookies ..."; the second line reads: "... conjured: 75"; the third line reads: "... on hand: 12"; the fourth line reads: "... stored: 60".

Update: Game now saves your sound and controls preferences after you quit and tracks the total number of cookies you've collected, but now you have to store the cookies in chests for them to count.

Also fixed a bug with the sound level of the title music.

Update: Added options to change sound levels (music, sound effects, and master volume) and assign alternative controls (only accepts letter keys at the moment), and created a main menu for the title screen.

A large-headed green goblin stands in the bottom left corner on some grassy ground. Several grey platforms float above the ground arranged in rows of three. Six reddish-brown treasure chests rest on top of and underneath the platforms arranged in a grid pattern 3 wide by 2 high. At the top of the image, large text in all capital letters reads: "Gobbo's Cookie Run". Underneath this are two more lines of smaller text; the first one reads: "Arrow keys to move Gobbo around" while the second one reads "Go to a chest and press Space to select it".

A large-headed green goblin falls towards the grassy ground. Several grey platforms float above the ground, mostly arranged in rows of three. In the bottom left corner just above the ground is a red triangle pointing left. Above this triangle is a small orc woman's head. High above the platforms is a fairy with brown hair tied in a neat bun and wearing a red top, skirt, and shoes. In the top-left corner of the image, text reads: "Cookies Collected: 40 / 40". In the center of the image are two lines of text in all capital letters; the first one reads: "Paused" while the second one reads "Volume: 5 / 10".

Alignment chart time?

Alignment chart time.
A 3x3 grid of white squares with black outlines, each with black text in them. The squares in the top row, from left to right, read: "Dom Top", "Verse Top", "Sub Top". The squares in the middle row read: "Dom Switch", "Verse Switch", "Sub Switch". The squares in the bottom row read: "Dom Bottom", "Verse Bottom", "Sub Bottom". In all squares, the two words are on separate lines of text.

A large-headed green goblin stands on one of several platforms floating above the grassy ground. Most platforms, including the one the goblin is standing on, are grey, but two are light brown. Of the light brown platforms, one has a crack down the middle and the other has started breaking into two pieces. Standing on the platform that is breaking into two pieces is a tall orc warrior woman holding an axe. A chocolate chip cookie hovers just above each of the three rightmost grey platforms. High above the platforms is a fairy with brown hair tied in a neat bun and wearing a red top, skirt, and shoes. In the top-left corner of the image, text reads: "Cookies Collected: 72 / 75". In the center of the image, text in all capital letters reads: "Paused".

Update: Added breakable platforms that break apart a moment after being jumped or stepped on by Gobbo or the orc warrior woman (still unnamed). Added more platform configurations using these platforms and a pointer for when Gobbo is off-screen.

A large-headed green goblin stands on one of several light brown platforms floating above the grassy ground. These platforms each have cracks down the middle and the one the goblin is standing on has started breaking into two pieces. A chocolate chip cookie hovers just above the rightmost platform, and another one hovers at the same height directly above the lowest platform. High above the platforms is a fairy with brown hair tied in a neat bun and wearing a red top, skirt, and shoes. On the ground below the rightmost platform is a tall orc warrior woman holding an axe. In the top-left corner of the image, text reads: "Cookies Collected: 121 / 125".

Update: Added some more platform configurations and the game's first enemy: an orc warrior woman (name pending) who charges forward heedlessly and will knock Gobbo flying if she barrels into him.

Gobbo's Cookie Run is a game I started making when I was inspired during @jocat.net's subathon this month. Right now, it's still quite basic and has a lot of placeholders, but I intend to keep working on it after the end of the subathon.
