This is a LOT of incredible presentation in such a short period of time. The art is extremely impressive and adorable, it looks very polished. Reminds me a lot of the sections you'd find in a Rhythm Heaven or Warioware title. It's design is deceptively difficult too! I found myself constantly forgetting what was the previous number and staring blankly as the timer ran down. Really neat good core loop that gives both the highs and lows of a good gameplay loop in a quick neat package. Also all the dogs are great.

This is a fun, clever and polished game-- the jitter on all the artwork is a really satisfying cherry on top! Was easy to pick up the rules as I went. I can imagine this being very fun as a multiplayer game!
Dude this is amazing. The gameplay hits that sweet spot of being easy to learn, hard to master. The fact that you added dogs even at the beginning that throw you off by not saying the number, and eventually everyone else also starts saying something other than the actual number, so you have to keep track of it yourself, is really genius. Presentation, both in terms of art and sound, was really fantastic. A++!
The concept is genius omg I love this game! the rythm, the tv game vibe, the non repetition with the new rules, the coolness of the characters.. that is a really good game you have proposed here
This was super fun and soooo polished!! I really loved the art, they are all so cute. I'd like to imagine these people are all just standing in a circle while the camera is rotating around them lol. I also kept forgetting I was a dog, it's so easy so forget...
Thank you so much!
That's so interesting, you hit the nail on the head - we'd planned on having the players in a circle and whipping the camera around, but realised it wouldn't fundamentally look much different from what we have now if we couldn't find time to draw a panoramic background to sell it, so we ended up just having them in a line.
Thanks so much for taking the time to play our game!
came from vgdev - really well executed idea! i love the UI and everything is super cute. the music is banger and blessed my ears. gj :)
Where do you even come up with such an idea?? Its so unique and out there, I love it. Everything is polished as heck and the visuals and audio design are bang on. Its a full score across the board from me. Wonderful job.
Whoa -- the design work on this is top notch. Such a charming and well designed style with so much spunk and flair. I'm super jealous of how bold and clear and punchy everything felt. Really nice execution.
I'm gonna be honest though I was really bad at the game even when it was a matter of simple counting down -- games that put me under pressure to say something are not my forte.
But really cool stuff and your itch page is gorgeous. Nice work.
As a developer, I love the inside joke. And the gameplay, and the art. So good, so addictive. 10/10
This game is so adorable! Gameplay is really fun: it seemed trivial at first, but became challenging really quick :)
As an artist I'm blown away by the art and the concept. It did not feel like anything is out of place or incomplete or missing. It actually looks like a game I could buy on Steam and would have no idea it was made in 96 hours!
Lovely game,I've thoroughly enjoyed myself. You guys really aced the theme. Only feedback I have is that it's too compact. I would like to see this developed further. 10/10!
