Nice little game. Reminds me of the other "jump or slide" platformers - eg chrome browser's dinosaur - the BARK was a good addition to spice the formula up :D

-- Although playing this in an exhausted state resulted in barking at the crows as well and losing xD --

Sprites and background looks nice, music is great, gameplay itself is simple and gets challenging.

thank you very much, it's exactly as you said, a copycat of chrome's dinasour but with an extra mechanic :)

I was a bit confused as to whether I was barking, sliding or jumping, but once I figured that out it was a fun game. Especially the sprites are beautiful.

thanks :)

And people have said my games are too tough!  lol.  I can't seem to get past 30m, mainly because I find the controls are not intuitive enough for how I play games; I would continually keep hitting the wrong buttons for certain actions.  I also noted that slide does not work on ghosts, even though there 'appears' to be plenty of room to slide under one.

It's a nice piece of work and well-presented.  Good job!

thanks for playing and for your feedback :)
