It’s a unique and beautiful theme. Once, I deliberately didn’t find the bomb, and I laughed a lot when the plane exploded, but I think the difficulty level should be cranked up a notch. Because the dog is really good at finding all the bombs. Also, just so you know, if you move the character forward, he falls into a void. It’s a great and unique game—congratulations.
Yes, the explosion is part of the fun. And i thought i have removed the human handler movement, i will check it out again. Thank you for playing despite the vote is already over 😊
Oh man, that failure animation is brutal, haha - well done on the cutscenes (the main menu scene is great too). Great use of the dog assets and animations.
I'm sure you've seen the bug reports already, but from a moment to moment gameplay point of view, I wonder if having to track each bag with your mouse to get a good sniff might've helped - then having sniff upgrades mean you get a good sniff faster. It wasn't clear how the upgrades helped, or what the boost was doing.
Great to see a more novel idea in the jam too, well done!
Thank u for playing and little things you mentioned :) Glad you enjoyed it. You are relying solely on the dog to give you clue. The boost will increase Sniff Power temporarily (marked by a throbbing animation of the text). Unfortunately the note about what boost does is covered by boost HUD itself 🤦
Very interesting take on the theme, simple concept but addictive. I kinda feel lke doggo was a little bit overpowered becasue it found the bombs and drugs all the time. Must get a lots of treats xD
Yeah like i said in the other comment, i f*cked up the power balance at the last minute before deadline. There should be more pizza decoy found as time waster, but since doggo is overlevelled...
Glad you like the core loop though. I find it addicting too myself since i added many juice. Maybe i will add numbers too, like vampire survivor. Numbers are addicting. And also somehow watching planes explode feels calming and stressing at the same time.
Very cute! Nice cutscenes. Simple enough for a noob like me to play.
Whenever there's a dog in a game, players would want to pet them. I want to pet the dog! :D
Thank u kate! The petting was in the code, but i didn't manage to fix the bug, so i commented out those petting lines. So is the dog handler look at animation. You can still boost the dog sniff by pressing B or click the 'B' button, and pretend the petting animation works 😁
Really fun game and unique idea!
Thank u for playing!
Sniffers unite!
Yaay! Good boy lover!
I really like the game. Sometimes there seems to be a mismatch between what the UI displays and what actually happened (once I found 2 bombs and it displayed only one; and sometimes I could buy upgrades without having the exp while at other times I couldn't despite having enough). Anyway, it was fun, good job!
Yeap... one of many bugs.
nice game concept, fits the theme well!
Thank you for playing! I wish it could be better and not blunder by adding content without testing game balance
The concept is really simple but I really like it and the game feels really polished. Nicely done and fits well with the theme! I really like the attention to the detail with the sounds in the airport and how you handled the “you save them!”
The charm of this game is... when 'You Fail' though 😈
A charming and original concept where you and your sniffer dog work together to protect lives by checking suspicious bags before time runs out. The gameplay loop is simple but engaging, and upgrading your good boy between missions adds a fun sense of progression. The idea of rewarding Spot with his favorite toy at the end is a delightful touch that gives the game real personality.
Yeah, wish there is more time to properly give doggo toys in the game, not just a display.
Pretty good!
Thx
Nice work! Played on iPad, worked great. Nice camera moves and intro. I blew some folks up, but that's what you get for on the job training.
Yeah, i found (by accident) that playing on mobile is better.
Really good :) Your respect the theme, the atmosphere is great and you catch me with the upgrade things :-D
Unfortunately i f*cked up with the upgrade balance, the game is so easy. Originally i planned the dog found pizza more than bombs. And hope the player will be challenged to grind to upgrade the dog. Just 10 minutes tuning, but the deadline was due 😄
Very nice!! i enjoyed playing
Love it that you enjoy it
The game suppose to have many ambiguos bag. Does it contain bomb or pizza? But since Doggo is so overlevel, he will never fall for pizza. Excuse me for the bad gameplay balance.
Should start Doggo with lower level.
What a Good boy!
Don't you love it when Dogmeat give you a clue?
Fun short game, I personally love the caterpillar tread as conveyor belts - really creative. Also got surprised by the animation when I failed - well done!
Have fun with the good boy
