Great game!! Absolutely insane that you did this with the super limited amount of time you had. I really enjoyed the maze-like aspect of the game. I think it'd also be funny if we could push stuff in front of the robo-dogs to trip them or block them haha, but that's probably out of scope. I did run into a bug where I started being able to run through all the bushes/fences/etc but then I couldn't return home! Overall, really awesome work!

Saw in the description that you only started working on this past the half-way point, and this is an insane amount of work for the time you had. Great job!

Countdown CrisisGood game, great idea. I did lose the dog behind the fence at the bottom at times. A great submission I hope you do well in the ratings :)

A Soggy TaleFun gameplay and a visual *treat*. Love to see a simple concept executed well. Love the art! Did find a bug where one of the dogs were stuck pass the bottom fences for the second level. Maybe this game can be a bit more challenging for later levels?

Roulette WavesHello, I played your game for 7 minutes - that is how long I needed to collect all bb's (biscuit bones) ;))
For a game made in 2 days I think it is great. I enjoyed the visuals and the audio was obviously inspired by “4′33″” by John Cage. Joke by side, congrats for making such a game in such a short amount of time!
thank you for your kind words! The level in the Jam version of the game is a bit large -- it's actually meant to be a later level. The first level is supposed to be 8x8, and gets much trickier if you want a high score! (The version on my current build adds music and some SFX ... look for it on the itchio page :-)
Loved how you balanced a calm aesthetic of suburbia and the fear of getting caught by the guard dogs.

Nine Claw DrawReally enjoyed how the maze is built up of actual props and some have enough space to walk over

The Cat's PawReally nice little game, give of the vibe of a "Pacman with physics"
Having more robots dogs with differents AI would have give a lot to the game, like in the original Pacman, Blinky actively chase the player wherever he is on the map, or Pinky and Inky, try to place themself in front of the player.
I also probably don't understand correctly what's the point of returning to your home to increase the multiplier ? As it does not scale with the biscuit you bring back, and when you finish a level, it does not increase it ?
Anyways, really nice game, it was fun to play it ! Continue to creates game like this one ;)
