I think it is a really good game.
-I liked how you used the optional extre theme of roots. The fact you added the dogs generations mechanics I think is fun and it makes sense with how dogs lived in farms and the where buried back in the barn.
- The pixel art is great, not too simple, not too complex. My fav was the dog little animations when it runs and bites.
I would have enjoyed you added some brackground music to make it more cosy and mesmerizing. I could play this game unironically not only to rate it. Good job :)
