Adorable little game. Easy to pick up and understand what's going on. Very fun watching the dog grow. It wasn't much of a challenge once I figured out my strategy, but it doesn't need to be. Very solid jam entry; great work!

So cute! And it was super easy to pick up and understand too. I think the only issue I had was that just spinning in a circle and doing nothing else felt a little too effective of a strategy for how brainless it was hahaha. All the art was adorable and the sound design was nice too. Great job!

SokoFEZWhile it might be a simple game it was good fun! I liked the premise and it fits the theme! The visual and audio were good! I did find the fence to be a death trap though, but i prevailed and won! (would be a great addition if you could also add something similar as the starting intro screen for the ending). I did have some problem when the dog got too long, as the visuals didn't follow the head. You might have to zoom out a little more? But good execution and well done!

An Old Man with a Fan (that Can!)Fun game, very creative and inspiring. One mechanic polished and pushed to its absolute limit. The intro was so good but I didn’t get half way through the game, diminishing returns and that. I’d have toned down the difficulty, or win length about 25%. Then again, I’m left assuming the end is as epic as the start.

Churn To EarnI liked this game a lot... I got about 3/4 of the way and I got hit like 5 times in a row 🤣 I raged! But anyways, really good game feels very solid

The Hamster EngineThat was a really fun little game. Nice work on the artwork. I wish there was a bit more to the game, like a reward for scareing off other dogs, or bones to collect. But it's perfect for a jam game.

Void CourierThere's definitely something wrong with this dog! Very creative idea and I like the mechanic of defeating enemy dogs by barking at them.

Owl Of FortuneIncredibly polished game! The visuals are so well done. It's fun seeing that little doggo stretch to obscene lengths. And that beginning sequence was hilarious!

Spaghetti and Monster BallsI enjoyed this too much, even I suck at it. It took me more than 20 minutes to finally complete the game, but it was done, and I loved every minute of it!

COINCLiPSEThis is awesome. I was certainly smiling the whole time playing through this. Controls feel great! My only suggestion though is that, at a certain point when I was getting really fast just going in circles, the camera felt like it was too behind the head of the doggo, so it was almost a little stressful playing cuz I couldn't predict what may have been coming on the other side of the screen lol This is a GREAT and FUN submission!
