Delve into the Bungeon...

Everything was great for Pupper Nicole and Rye-Anne. They were beautiful biscuit batter besties, living it up, when one day the Scoop of Annihilation took Pupper Nicole's beloved human Rye-Anne away, straight into the Bungeon deep within the Infernal Oven! Armed with her piping bag and her trusty baguette, Pupper Nicole risks it all to save her beloved biscuit brethren.

Bungeon in the Oven is a doughlike biscuit hell where you must guide the biscuit-dough Pupper Nicole to victory over the Muffin Man (do you know him?) and rescue her biscuit human. Explore the Bungeon and raise your heat, making you stronger and faster, but be careful not to let it burn you too hot - if you burn, you're toast! You can find up to 9 unique weapons, and fight 5 different types of enemies plus a formidable boss in this game jam game made in a week for the Brackey's Game Jam 2025.2.

Mechanics Explained

Active Reloading: When you reload, there is a green section of the reload bar. Press R again during the green section to instantly reload. If you press R at the wrong time, you take longer than normal to reload.

Heat: In the bottom left of your screen is a heat meter. When you take damage or fail an active reload, your heat increases. At the end of each room, you're given a choice to increase your heat by a little, or a lot and get a buff to your movespeed or damage (random). As your heat meter goes up, you move faster, do more damage, and if you become Perfectly Toasted, those buffs increase and you also gain increased attack speed. However, if you heat past Perfectly Toasted, you become Burnt - losing your bonuses and dying in one hit. Do you dare push yourself to higher levels of heat to get stronger, knowing mistakes are much more costly? Or do you play it safe?

WebGPU

Bungeon in the Oven requires WebGPU to run, which chances are pretty good you already have enabled. If the examples on this page work for you, then you do! If they don't, you'll need to switch browsers to one with WebGPU support. Chrome has it on all three major operating systems (Windows, MacOS, and Linux) but may require you to enable a flag to get it to work.
