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.
Reminding you of Warioware and Rhythm Heaven is the ULTIMATE compliment to us, so that means a lot thank you! Appreciate all the kind words :)
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!
Thank you, that means a lot! The jitter was one of the first artistic choices we made and it just felt right from the start haha. We'd really love to find a way to make it multiplayer after the jam, hoping we can make it happen :)
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++!
Thank you so much, we really appreciate the kind words!
We went back and forth on whether or not the dogs audibly saying woof every time was too misleading for new players, so I'm glad to hear what you thought of that specifically! Thanks for taking the time to play, and for your kind feedback!
Of course!
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
Wow, thank you so much for your kind words, and for taking the time to play our game! Really appreciate it! We're strongly considering continuing development, so I deliver something up to your expectations in the future!
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 :)
Thank you for playing and for the nice feedback, means a lot
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.
Reading this made us so happy! Thank you for being so kind about the game, really appreciate it :)
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.
Thank you for such a kind review, that really means a lot. (especially when your game page is absolute S tier haha) Appreciate the support and you taking the time to try it out.
really fun made me think i cant count
Ahahah tbh same
really fun.
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for playing :)
cool art! the quick mental math kept me on my toes. loved it!
Thanks so much for trying it out! And same hahah, regularly getting humbled by my own game lol
really funny game, can be really difficult.
Thanks for trying it out! We're looking at ways we could add different difficulty options so players can adjust, because I get that it can be kinda tricky haha
Really fun and it gets difficult fast. Loved the art style as well
Thank you for trying the game and for the kind words :)
Such a fun game! Really cool art style and music, addictive gameplay; made beating my husband's high score a pleasure! Oh and I love the VCR style credits screen!
So glad you enjoyed it! Next addition - high score leaderboard to remind your husband who's in charge hahaha
Thanks for the kind words :)
As a developer, I love the inside joke. And the gameplay, and the art. So good, so addictive. 10/10
Thank you for playing! No one else mentioned the game dev/fizz buzz reference yet (if that's what you meant haha). Really glad you enjoyed it and thank you for sharing
Such a simple concept but you guys took it beyond! I adore the artwork as well. I think this is my favorite game in the jam so far <3
Wow thank you so much, that's really nice of you to say!
How do I keep forgetting I'm a dog? Great game that would be awesome to play with drinking buddies!
"How do I keep forgetting I'm a dog?"
Thanks so much for taking the time to play our game! ...Good boy?
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!
Thank you for being so kind - that means a lot. We tried to focus on presentation as much as possible so things felt seamless. Glad you enjoyed the way everything came together!
what a slam dunk! fizzbuzz is simple but you made it such a slick little experience with great art and sound design. Loved it!
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!
