I couldn't get the dog to move but I like the visuals and idea behind it. The j*b application scared me a lot though.

Funny game, the job application was so scary! the game works well, does what it has to do!

Submitted

Saw this game in the Discord. Here's my play by play

  • Cute dog thumbnail
  • Cute dog in the page.
  • One of the few games that doesn't have the unity UI clip for the fullscreep button. W
  • What. I don't- get it? Hold on. 
  • I died 3 times. Maybe I didn't read the controls properly. Rebooting.
  • Ok so I charged energy and now?- What?
  • HOW DO I MOVE THE DOG!
  • O I SEE! I SPIN AND THEN FLING
  • Hole in one 3 times in a row baby!!!

Fun little game! The primary feedback I have is explain that you have to slingshot the dog haha. I couldn't figure it out. When I did figure it out, I had fun with the three levels!  For a first jam (I read some other comments) this is good stuff, mate :fire:

Extremely serious game, had to put on a suit to properly enjoy it

This is a cool idea!  One suggestion to make the mini-golf aspect better is to add more realistic physics to the ball.  This might be harder to do in 2D than 3D, but the ball shouldn't be able to get in the hole at max speed without ricocheting off somewhere else.  Would also be cool to see some hazards or maybe a stamina/cooldown system on the spinner, so the serious job application gets to you sooner.

Also, a minor bug is the "Back to Menu" button does not appear to be working.

Developer

Yes im still a beginner i really appreciate the feedback and yea the back to menu just doesnt even have a function lol

Submitted

Seriousness??? 5 Stars

Submitted

I love that it's a Job Application that chases you down, very relatable.

10/10 game and I'm totally unbiased.

Submitted

very serious gam, very nice. the dog controls felt unintuitive, and i don't really get why you would have a charge bar that you need to charge up all the way up to shoot. other than that, veri serios gam, and i like it whimsical style yeah.

Yeah my first thought was to make a golf game where you golf by spinning up a windup toy. Thanks for the feedback

Submitted

Fun game. I would've had more levels and a tutorial of sorts. Good job.

Developer

Yes i got that feedback of more levels and that the controls might be unintuitive alot i will try to keep it in mind for future projects thank you

Submitted

I enjoyed the 3 levels, but it's too short. Funny interpretation of the theme.

Submitted

Really fun game! really cool interpretation of the theme

Submitted

Visuals I actually really like - lo fi and goofy but fun. The idea of a golf game where you can recharge by spinning is a cool interpretation of the theme. Sad there were so few levels - but good work in the time
