How does the game fit the theme?
Dogs love their biscuits. More accurately, dogs love to eat. This game is about dogs stealing food to fill their bellies. Don't get caught! It's a risk they all take.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Models (credited in description). Music (credited in description). Some animations (credited in description). Used GC2 for the first time. This was my "tutorial" project. Big adjustment from C#. Still couldn't do everything I wanted to with it, so I reverted to coding my own stuff for several things.

I like how you can choose a doggy! Really cute. Also the music is really cool and dramatic. I was laughing when I ended up having so many people run after me, but once I came out of the cave, they were still after me, so I've decided to check what happens if they get u... And I guess I made a couple of friends because they were just looking at me xD
After stealing some food I didn't know what to do so I left the game, I must've missed something.
The game kinda reminded me of my childhod games where you'd play as a mouse and also steal food and other stuff to survive :D
Lol... Yeah, the "friendship" bug is known and fixed in the version I am going to upload after the jam. It was an over-correction to the "I'm going to stand on you when you're dead" bug. There's five total pieces scattered around the board. When you get all five, the game ends with your time taken.
Appreciate you playing it and giving me bug feedback!
Interesting game, ofc I had to choose the corgi xD The concept was nice, would have been cool if the dog could risk it by getting more food at once and maybe slowing down with the weight. I think the game has a great concept with a lot of potential to be continued and expanded upon. Well done!
Love the theme! I like that everything is calm until the dog steals food and then you have the whole town looking for you, also the dog animations are very cute :)
The only thing I noted is sometimes the chase music wouldn't play while being chased.
very great aesthetic and ambiance. I really see the potential this game could have, if you wanted to develop it further.
I really like the music! The camera has some issues, sometimes I hear 2 songs at the same time when the dog steals food (or maybe it's just me?), but for a solo developer you did a fantastic job. Well done!
It’s a cute little game that really fits the theme! I enjoyed playing it. The structure of having an animal as the protagonist and humans as the enemies is always interesting.
Good game about stealing food with some doges. I like the graphics and the music, wish the camera could be controlled and that you could bark :) Good job !
Great game, especially for made by one person! Good controls, and I like how the challenge ramped up a bit with each consecutive stolen food item as more people are out to get you haha I loved the music though I felt it was intended for the most touching moment of a very emotional story rather than a game about a dog stealing food. Cute art style and animations. Well done!
I'm glad you caught the challenge of winning means you have a mob chasing you. That's the only way I could realistically add to the difficulty without adding some sort of god mode to the villagers. I went for that music because I wanted the dog to be in its own world and not really listening to all the humans doing their things. I appreciate you taking the time to play and give feedback. Thanks!
The idea of a dog stealing food is great, and the music is amazing! Just something about the character controller felt a bit off. I think the dog mesh is not centered on the character component itself, so when you rotate, the whole dog slides around the center point of the component instead of just rotating its body in the desired direction. Other than that, it was really cute. good job!
The background music is really beautiful, and the dog models are great! It would be nice to add shadows to make the scene feel more complete, and also have camera rotation
Not enough time to get the camera how I wanted it. It's down low so the models look better. Wanted to have a zoom out mode where it goes up a bit and over the player for a top down feel. Omitting shadows was a design choice. The dog models look so good because they are unlit. No shadows for them. Adding shadows to them makes their low polys stand out and they just don't pop. I went back and forth for a few days and decided to go with how it is now. Thanks for checking it out. It's appreciated!
This was a great game, and I loved the option to choose what dog you play as (I just really like dogs). I do think the game would be a lot better if the player could control the camera or if it automatically pointed in the direction the player was facing. It's very easy to die if one of the people come at you from the front, and you can't see them.
I love the dog! 🥺 He’s so cute when he’s eating and running. Just one thing — the chase music is a bit intense and gave me a jump haha, but being chased is definitely thrillingXD
What a peaceful game. I love the whole vibe of it. I think one thing that could elevate the feeling of freedom in this game is to make the camera dynamically point to where the dog is running. I would have loved to get a better view of the map, and generally where I am running towards. Great game!
