Bake Jack

Bake Jack is a deck-building roguelike baking game made for Brackeys Game Jam 2025.2 with the theme "risk it for the biscuit".

Play as Jack the baker, a bear who loves cookies almost as much as his ravenous clientele! Grow your arsenal of unique ingredients to make tastier cookies through a blackjack-based baking system. Be sure not to go overboard and ruin the cookie; Your clients are feisty raccoons, and they will attack when they get hungry!

Create powerful decks, learn to make the most of your limited cards, and stay one step ahead of the growing demands in Bake Jack.

How to play:

Gameplay notes:

• Click on a cookie to select it and then clic either a) a raccoon to feed it, b) Jake's portrait to heal yourself, c) the spot in the baking tray where the cookie was to drop it where it was without using it.
• There are 16 predefined waves and then the game switches to an endless mode with increasing difficulty.
