Such a cute game! I'm a sucker for anything featuring good boys. The mechanics are good. I sometimes felt like the controls were not my friend, but I found your fixed version that that seemed to improve things. Guess it was my fps rate. Anyway, it was pretty fun. 

Graphics are great, they easily read and the dog is cute. 

Sound FX meet expectations but I was bummed there was no music. 

Gameboy Soul is bursting out of this. This would have totally been in my collection of carts. 

Quirkiness is also here, it's a unique take on platforming.

Secondary theme interpretation: There is gold, I assume it is old. Ya got it!

fantastic game with an original game mechanics. super nice graphics and nice animations. I also love the color palette. well done.

the bomb level is so hard… I haven’t managed it so far and have to take a break :-) it’s infuriating - but addictive.

well done!

Platforming as a dolphin dog is pretty darn fun. I got to the section where the player is asked to do many jumps across single tile floating platforms and I quit there.

A lot of the challenges I got through and understood what to do with, at most, a few retries. A lot of them are well designed and a cool exploration of the neat mechanics. But when the player is asked to make a fairly precise jump, where you have to get close to an edge and NOT dive out of the side; difficult and frustrating. I really like the simple design of doing multiple things with a single action button. I think a decent solution could be to have environment tiles that prevent shooting out of the side. Perhaps with a metal plate or whatever aesthetic. And then also just designing challenges to be a bit less finicky within the design space.

Overall a fun precision platformer. Great work, keep at it!

Awesome artwork! I love the colour palette and how you shaded the platforms. The animations are very fluid and added a lot to the fun of jumping around. Unfortunately I couldn't figure out how to get past this bit as he(?) would keep hitting his head on the platform if I tried jumping across, and then he'd fall to his death TwT So I gave up after a while. I think checkpoints would make it more fun as it got a bit annoying having to start again from the beginning 😅 Aside from that it's a lovely game! Great job 😄

The burrowing/pop-up mechanic is so fun! Unfortunately I had to stop playing after ~5-10 minutes of replaying the start of the game because I kept failing (usually by accidentally diving into the ocean/going sideways off platforms) and I got frustrated. Just a little too punishing for me. But the art is adorable, especially Rumsnuffle himself!

Thank you for the updated link. I enjoyed the game (although I haven't finished the last level yet). The sprite work is very pretty, and I love the burrowing mechanic.

If you can't get past the first jump in the tutorial:

Here is link to the same game with the bug fixed, since the jam settings don't allow changing existing entries:

This only seems to happen if you play at 60 or less fps. 

A brilliant concept and a unique take on the theme! If there's one word I had to describe this game, it's 'charm'. I love the dogs animations and the burrowing mechanic reminds me of Mina the Hollower! It works perfectly as a platformer. There's a lot of polish here too - the addition of a tutorial level is a nice attention to detail. The only thing this game is missing is music! Other than that, excellent submission. Well done :)
