I'm the world's greatest dog bender

Such a simple concept but it's crazy how tense it gets as the speed increases. 5/5 audio easy!

Absolutely incredible - easy to pick up, fun to play, and fits the countdown theme perfectly. Bravo!

This is such a cute game! I like the artwork a lot!

A simple concept that's executed very well. Controls are funky since you're controlling the dog by proxy, but surprisingly easy to get the hang of. Art and sound design is cute all around, and the variance of level designs here keeps things fresh for the entire duration. You can also pet the dog! Great work

I liked the game a lot! good simple concept that's quick to pick up and immediately compelling. The art was cute and effective, the sound was on point. Quickly found myself having fun and praising how good this one is!

such a simple mechanic but the execution was well done it made the gameplay so addicting! one of the few games where i died a LOT but still wanted to keep playing until i finished. everything is so polished and smooth, i could definitely see this one winning! i got a score of 7900 :)

I'm like a dog (noun), and this game is like a bag of dog treats. It just keeps on giving. Honestly that's my favorite type of game in these jams: it just has really simple, easy-to-understand, fun gameplay and then builds on it with tons of great levels. Every new level was a pleasant surprise and really got me excited by the end of each countdown. I got that dawg (dog) in me.

Really cute idea! I love that you can pet the dog. I do think the game should tell you that the dog can't touch the sides, as I didn't realize that at first, but other than that it's pretty fun. The dog is adorable.

Such a cute dog! A really cozy and heartwarming game.

So simple yet really fun! At first I stopped hitting the lines because I realised I could beat levels faster by not allowing the dog to speed up, but then I wanted more points. Proud of this on the small circle level (6, I think?)

Yes, you can pet the dog!

Player with a touchpad and only got past level 1 and almost beat 2. I really really like how simple this game is. How keeping the bone close to the dog gives you better control on the direction but is riskier, while keeping it away is safer but harder to control. I'll probably come back to this to play with a mouse.

I didn't understand how to play it at first, but after knowing the rules, it becomes much more fun, good job!

Really cute concept! Failed a few times so I had to win to make the dog happy :D, got it in the end tho! Cute detail that you can pet the dog afterwards, levels got harder but also more fun to play! Nicely done

So much fun within a simple premise and mechanics!   The music, speed increase, sounds, and failure states all do a ton to build tension.  Nicely done!

Loved the idea and the style of the arts, the use of only 2 color is really amazing!!! Would like an online ranking for each level of this game!
