Hunt For The Cookie Dealer
A downloadable visual novel for Windows, macOS, and Linux

The art was particularly nice, and the story was super random! It was really fun to see all of that progress, and the dynamic, quick words between the two main characters. The battles were really fun too, and surprising as well. Music went with every scene too. I would say very good short game, I liked all the endings for it!
glad you liked it! tysm for playing!
Hey guys!
So, to go with everyone else, loved the art. It's not a style I see often in visual novels, but it fit in so well. I think it matched well with the atmosphere of the game. I loved the change in emotions.
The dialogue, while funny, bounced around from one idea to the next. It felt smooshed together, and I had a hard time keeping up with what was going on. It ran straight from one joke or idea to the next, without many cuts in between.
There were some grammatical issues, but given that it's told from the mindset of a 11 3/4 year old, and a comedic game, It added to the affect.
You had me laughing at the battle scenes. I actually replayed those to see all the options given. My favorite is still the cat in the alleyway, because it was so unexpected. I fell into the trap of thinking it was going to end a different way, and I was wonderfully surprised.
I wasn't sure about the music at first, but that's just my own biased opinion and nothing about the game. I did change my tune when they went into the underground, it was very catchy and easy to listen to while playing.
Game mechanic wise, I saw no surface issues and the game saved beautifully. All the preference options worked.
All in all, great job guys! I look forward to seeing what else you have up your sleeve.
Yes! Lava Cat! Glad you enjoyed playing!
We do definitely agree with what you mean by the rushed dialogue. I think it stems from us trying to fit in so many ideas into a short-ish game, and it shows.
Thank you for the feedback :))
This game is so CUTE and FUNNY. Man, this brings back memories and feels like I'm watching a show :DD
Nice game! I loved the art and story, and the music was chosen well :) The game is also a decent length, not too long and not too short :)
I really enjoyed the humor in this game it's a nice innocent visual novel the music is pretty bumping throughout it's kind of hard to know to adjust it before playing though since the title screen doesn't have music on it (just a tiny complaint). All the art in the game looks really great as well the characters w/ their different emotions match up for the situations they run into. Probably my favorite visual novel on itch.io it won't let me rate for some reason but I would give a 5 stars my play through here:
ahhh we're so glad you enjoyed it! thank you for playing :))
Thanks for making it good luck in the future!
