This game is adorable! It had me giggling every time I got caught. Also it made me feel like a little kid when I finally managed to grad the ice cream and just run for it :D

I had no issues, or bugs or anything like that, loved the audio, which made the game 100x better. 

I've had a lot of fun playing this. Well done and keep it up!

Thoroughly enjoyed this one, nice work. Honestly I found the voice lines actually enhanced the gameplay quite a lot, but personal preference I guess. Only thing I'll say is that the visuals could be improved a bit, it was initially quite hard to tell what was what since a lot of the assets are basic shapes, but honestly besides that this is pretty much one of the best games I've played so far. Once again, nice work :D

Thank you so much for taking the time to play it and share your feedback! Definitely a good lesson in time management for next time for me on balancing visuals/lighting earlier in the process.

the audio was a bit too much, you really could have gotten away without any voicelines and more minimal sounds as i found them simply distracting.

the thumbnail did stand out amongst the other submissions, credit for that, but i will admit i was a bit disappointed when i saw that i was the default unity pill, even so much as a simple pawn shape really would have helped the look of the game

the game itself seemed buggy, clipping through the doors, jaggy view indicator,  the parent never moved after the first time they put me back at the start, 

the game was relatively clearly communicated, i never got confused with the exception of the dog mechanic - but i guess it was because the parent never moved again?

Thank you so much for the feedback! I had originally planned to build 2D sprites from construction paper cutouts and animate them but I couldn’t get it to work in time. Sorry you ran into a bug with the parent not moving again! Thanks for taking the time to play it.
