I really enjoyed your game, especially the visuals! Could you please rate mine in return?
There is a lot of attention to detail here gameplay wise. I think you made really good design choices with your tileset. Visually, the environment doesnt distract the player and makes the colision bounds really obvious.
Great job and congrats!
Fun concept, i think the game could benefit from some visual feedback that the player and the dog share the same life, like a chain between them or some ui, just as an example to add to the concept.
I also found hidden "tech" where if you jump just as you catch the dog in the air you can jump again(mid air).
I did an first impressions of your game. Good times! I like this game. A bit too hard for me haha :D
Super fun to watch your first impression of the game. Really appreciate you sharing this! The difficulty was definitely an oversight, seems a lot of people are getting stuck. Also, just to address something you said in the video, the height of your jump depends on the player holding the jump button/key, should have mentioned that in the "tutorial". Thanks again for the video! o7
No problem! I enjoyed this one.
AND I will say officially: You have the best thumbnail. I have decided :-) There are some really good ones but your deadpan zoomed in dogface just gets me every time I scroll past it :D
Love the controller support, but looks like I might have just softlocked myself ^^'
Got further than that of course, but didn't understand that I had to take the dog with me, so I had to walk all the way back down...
Love the concept of a platformer together with the throwing mechanic, but the limitation implementation makes this just a bit too hard for my tired brain 😅
Funny theme and concept and great game mechanics!
xD! Very funny, love the music, the dog looks kinda like brown piggy, but that's even better
The graphics and music are great! Also love the dog's deadpan expression, as if he's in complete shock due to what's going on. It would have nice though if the barries and buttons weren't just colored rectangles, but that isn't too big of a deal.
very cool concept! i felt the controls were a bit too clunky and unprecise, theme could have been implemented better too
Really happy you fixed the keyboard controls! It's a really fun game to play
Awesome game! It looks great and plays nicely. Thanks for fixing the keyboard controls! The idea is very original. It was really fun how the dog was bouncing around, but it also bounced into the brown areas quite a lot 😅
Really amazing enjoying game, i really liked the concept. The art, music and idea of using dog and keeping him with us is really amazing. i liked it :D
It took me a second to realize i had to go back to get that dog 🤣 was just clicking and nothing was happening but I figured it out and was able to keep going
Cool game!
i got to the 3. obsticle but it's just to hard i enyjoyed but then i got bored.
if this is your 1. game then congrats
TIP: they told me this that: reward the player if he does what he needs or something idk
nice character btw
