lilithkismet rated 4-LEGGED-HEROINE

A downloadable game for Windows.

As advertised, it's a short game starring a doggo. The (lack of) length is a good thing in this case, or I'd have been too frustrated to finish the whole thing. Although it is described as a runner, it's really more of a stop-and-starter. The input compared to the dog moving is slow, so the only way to avoid collision or falling into the water is to stop going forward, adjust, and then usually stop immediately after the first adjustment so you have time for a second one if necessary. Progression is halting and it's easy to just slightly misjudge the back legs of the dog so it clips into the tires and causes a re-start from the last checkpoint. Right as you're starting to get used to the controls, it switches orientation for the rest of the game and you have to adjust your approach. If the controls were smoother I'd have forgiven the switch as just another fun challenge to overcome, but it just made the clumsy navigation even clumsier. But hey, there's a doggo. That counts for something.
